8 TODO: Coro/Intro 11 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
12 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
13 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
14 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
15 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
16 and maybe well enough for others to understand.

185.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
19 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
20 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
21 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
22 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
23 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
24 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
25
265.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
27 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
28 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
29
305.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
31 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
32 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
33 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
34 not on demand.
35 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
36
375.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
38 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
39 when no threads had been readied between detecting
40 the event loop and actually running it.
41 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
42 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
43 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
44 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
45 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
46 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
47 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
48 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
49 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
50 for hardcode select overriding.
51
525.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
53 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
54 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
55 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
56
575.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
58 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
59 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
60 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
61 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
62 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
63 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
64 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
65 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
66 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
67 (Coro::State::enable_times).
68
695.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
70 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
71 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
72 idle_upto).
73 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
74 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
75 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
76 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
77 had already been freed.
78 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
79 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
80 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
81 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
82 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
83 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
84 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
85 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
86 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
87 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
88 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
89 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
90
915.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
92 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
93 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
94 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
95 should support a prepare callback.
96
975.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
98 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
99 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
100 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
101
1025.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
103 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
104 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
105 spurious warnings.
106 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
107 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
108 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
109 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
110 - deprecate Coro::guard.
111 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
112 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
113 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
114 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
115 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
116 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
117 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
118 to avoid needless segfaults.
119
1205.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
121 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
122 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
123 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
124 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
125 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
126 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
127 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
128 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
129 destruction.
130 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
131 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
132 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
133 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
134 pthreads fare better?).
135 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
136
1375.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
138 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
139 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
140 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
141

147 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
148 LWP data transfers.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 149 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more

16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 152 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
