11 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
12 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
13 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
14 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
15 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
16 - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
17
186.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
19 - use stability canary.
20 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
21 - update libecb.
22
236.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
24 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
25 SATO Kentaro).
26 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
27
286.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
29 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
30 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
31 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
32 when used inside a Coro.
33 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
34 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
35 but wasn't legal until now.
36 - slightly better c header file detection.
37
386.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
39 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
40
416.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
42 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
43 interpreter variables.
44 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
45 by Andreas König).
46 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
47
486.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
49 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
50 perl bug, of all things.
51
526.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
53 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
54 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
55 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
56 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
57 possibly causing a deadlock.
58 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
59 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
60 where the actual call is.
61 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
62 the right thing to do, just in case.
63 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
64 or under adverse conditions.
65
666.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
67 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
68 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
69
706.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
71 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
72 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
73 by Darin McBride).
74
756.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
76 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
77 while the request was ongoing.
78
796.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
80 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
81 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
82 likely causing a crash.
83
846.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
85 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
86 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
87 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
88 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
89 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
90 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
91 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
92 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
93 this detection cannot work reliably.
94 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
95 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
96
976.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
98 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
99 perls.
100 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
101 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
102 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
103 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
104 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
105 the testsuite.
106 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
107 improved compatibility with LWP.
108 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
109 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
110 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
111 - libcoro version 3 "released".
112 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
113 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
114 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
115
1166.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
117 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
118 big endian systems (reported by many people).
119 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
120
1216.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
122 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
123 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
124 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
125 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
126 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
127 - use fd -1 in mmap.
128 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
129 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
130
1316.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
132 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
133 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
134
1356.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
136 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
137 - update ecb.h.
138
1396.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
140 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
141 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
142 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
143 twice just to be sure.
144 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
145 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
146 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
147 even better performance...).
148
1496.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
150 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
151 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
152 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
153 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
154
1556.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
156 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
157 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
158 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
159
1606.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
161 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
162 AnyEvent 6.x.
163 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
164 hasn't been included.
165
1666.02 Wed Jul 13 04:35:19 CEST 2011
167 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
168 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
169 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
170 systems.
171
1726.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011
173 - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
174 was not good. this one should be better.
175 - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.
176
1776.0 Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011
178 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
179 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
180 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
181 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
182 about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
183 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
184 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
185 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
186 in thread switching.
187 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
188 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
189 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
190 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
191 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
192 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.
193 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
194 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
195 deadlocking.
196 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
197 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
198 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
199 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
200 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
201 allocating context stack entries.
202 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
203 a reduction in memory use.
204 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
205 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
206 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
207 callbacks (best effort).
208 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
209 functions to have destructors.
210 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
211 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.
212 - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted
213 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.
214 - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks.
215 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
216 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
217 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
218 and it's known since at least 2006.
219
2205.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011
221 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
222 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
223 my attention by Max Maischein).
224 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
225
2265.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
227 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
228
2295.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
230 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
231 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
232 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
233 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
234 saves quite a lot of memory.
235
2365.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
237 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
238 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
239 method call.
240 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
241 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
242 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
243 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
244
2455.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
246 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
247 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
248 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
249 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
250
2515.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
252 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
253 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
254 out of the box.
255 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
256 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
257 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
258
2595.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
260 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
261 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
262 Waldorf).
263 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
264
2655.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
266 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
267 (testcase by Marc Mims).
268 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
269 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
270 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
271 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
272 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
273 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
274 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
275 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
276 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
277 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
278
2795.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
280 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
281 together.
282 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
283 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
284 the most common source of confusion.
285 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
286 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
287 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
288 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
289
2905.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
291 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
292 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
293 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
294 - new method $state->swap_sv.
295 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
296 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
297 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
298 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
299 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
300 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
301 - use common::sense everywhere now.
302 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
303 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
304
3055.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
306 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
307 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
308 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
309 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
310 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
311 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
312
3135.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
314 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
315 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
316
3175.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
318 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
319 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
320 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
321 not on demand.
322 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
323
3245.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
325 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
326 when no threads had been readied between detecting
327 the event loop and actually running it.
328 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
329 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
330 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
331 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
332 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
333 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
334 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
335 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
336 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
337 for hardcode select overriding.
338
3395.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
340 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
341 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
342 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
343
3445.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
345 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
346 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
347 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
348 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
349 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
350 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
351 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
352 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
353 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
354 (Coro::State::enable_times).
355
3565.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
357 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
358 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
359 idle_upto).
360 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
361 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
362 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
363 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
364 had already been freed.
365 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
366 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
367 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
368 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
369 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
370 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
371 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
372 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
373 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
374 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
375 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
376 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
377
3785.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
379 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
380 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
381 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
382 should support a prepare callback.
383
3845.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
385 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
386 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
387 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
388
3895.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
390 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
391 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
392 spurious warnings.
393 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
394 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
395 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
396 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
397 - deprecate Coro::guard.
398 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
399 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
400 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
401 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
402 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
403 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
404 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
405 to avoid needless segfaults.
406
4075.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
