8 TODO: Coro/Intro 11 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
12 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
13 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
14 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
15 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
16 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
17 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
18 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
19 - use common::sense everywhere now.
20 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
21 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
22
235.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
24 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
25 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
26 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
27 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
28 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
29 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
30
315.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
32 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
33 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
34
355.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
36 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
37 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
38 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
39 not on demand.
40 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
41
425.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
43 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
44 when no threads had been readied between detecting
45 the event loop and actually running it.
46 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
47 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
48 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
49 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
50 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
51 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
52 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
53 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
54 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
55 for hardcode select overriding.
56
575.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
58 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
59 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
60 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
61
625.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
63 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
64 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
65 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
66 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
67 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
68 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
69 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
70 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
71 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
72 (Coro::State::enable_times).
73
745.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
75 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
76 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
77 idle_upto).
78 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
79 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
80 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
81 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
82 had already been freed.
83 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
84 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
85 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
86 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
87 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
88 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
89 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
90 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
91 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
92 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
93 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
94 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
95
965.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
97 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
98 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
99 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
100 should support a prepare callback.
101
1025.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
103 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
104 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
105 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
106
1075.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
108 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
109 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
110 spurious warnings.
111 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
112 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
113 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
114 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
115 - deprecate Coro::guard.
116 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
117 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
118 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
119 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
120 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
121 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
122 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
123 to avoid needless segfaults.
124
1255.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
126 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
127 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
128 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
129 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
130 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
131 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
132 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
133 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
134 destruction.
135 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
136 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
137 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
138 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
139 pthreads fare better?).
140 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
141
1425.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
143 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
144 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
145 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

152 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
153 LWP data transfers.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 154 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
14 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 155 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
15 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. 156 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 157 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.

23 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse 164 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
24 callbacks. 165 callbacks.
25 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and 166 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
26 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace 167 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
27 through the idle threads now. 168 through the idle threads now.
169 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
28 - eg/event was pretty broken. 170 - eg/event was pretty broken.
29 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 171 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
