8 TODO: Coro/Intro 11 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
12 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
13 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
14 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!

165.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
17 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
18 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
19 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
20
215.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
22 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
23 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
24 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
25 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
26 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
27 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
28 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
29 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
30 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
31 (Coro::State::enable_times).
32
335.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
34 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
35 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
36 idle_upto).
37 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
38 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
39 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
40 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
41 had already been freed.
42 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
43 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
44 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
45 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
46 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
47 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
48 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
49 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
50 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
51 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
52 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
53 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
54
555.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
56 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
57 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
58 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
59 should support a prepare callback.
60
615.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
62 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
63 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
64 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
65
665.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
67 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
68 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
69 spurious warnings.
70 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
71 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
72 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
73 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
74 - deprecate Coro::guard.
75 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
76 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
77 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
78 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
79 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
80 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
81 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
82 to avoid needless segfaults.
83
845.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
85 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
86 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
87 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
88 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
89 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
90 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
91 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
92 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
93 destruction.
94 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
95 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
96 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
97 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
98 pthreads fare better?).
99 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.

1015.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
102 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
103 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
104 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

111 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
112 LWP data transfers.
