12 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
13 together.
14 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
15 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
16 the most common source of confusion.
17 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
18 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
19 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
20 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
21
225.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
23 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
24 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
25 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
26 - new method $state->swap_sv.
27 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
28 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
29 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
30 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
31 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
32 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
33 - use common::sense everywhere now.
34 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
35 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
36
375.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
38 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
39 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
40 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
41 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
42 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
43 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
44
455.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
46 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
47 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
48
495.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
50 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
51 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
52 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
53 not on demand.
54 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
55
565.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
57 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
58 when no threads had been readied between detecting
59 the event loop and actually running it.
60 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
61 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
62 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
63 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
64 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
65 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
66 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
67 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
68 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
69 for hardcode select overriding.
70
715.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
72 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
73 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
74 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
75
765.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
77 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
78 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
79 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
80 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
81 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
82 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
83 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
84 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
85 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
86 (Coro::State::enable_times).
87
885.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
89 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
90 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
91 idle_upto).
92 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
93 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
94 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
95 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
96 had already been freed.
97 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
98 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
99 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
100 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
101 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
102 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
103 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
104 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
105 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
106 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
107 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
108 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
109
1105.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
111 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
112 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
113 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
114 should support a prepare callback.
115
1165.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
117 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
118 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
119 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
120
1215.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
122 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
123 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
124 spurious warnings.
125 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
126 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
127 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
128 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
129 - deprecate Coro::guard.
130 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
131 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
132 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
133 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
134 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
135 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
136 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
137 to avoid needless segfaults.
138
1395.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
140 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
141 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
142 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
143 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
144 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
145 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
146 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
147 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
148 destruction.
149 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
150 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
151 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
152 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
153 pthreads fare better?).
154 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
155
1565.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
157 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
158 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
159 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

166 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
167 LWP data transfers.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 168 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
14 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 169 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
15 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. 170 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 171 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.

23 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse 178 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
24 callbacks. 179 callbacks.
25 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and 180 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
26 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace 181 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
27 through the idle threads now. 182 through the idle threads now.
183 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
28 - eg/event was pretty broken. 184 - eg/event was pretty broken.
29 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 185 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
