85.0 105.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
11 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
12 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
13 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
14 should support a prepare callback.
15
165.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
17 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
18 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
19 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
20
215.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
22 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
23 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
24 spurious warnings.
25 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
26 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
27 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
28 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
29 - deprecate Coro::guard.
30 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
31 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
32 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
33 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
34 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
35 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
36 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
37 to avoid needless segfaults.
38
395.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
40 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
41 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
42 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
43 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
44 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
45 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
46 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
47 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
48 destruction.
49 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
50 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
51 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
52 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
53 pthreads fare better?).
54 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
55
565.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
57 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
58 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
59 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
60
615.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
62 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
63 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
64 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
65 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
66 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
67 LWP data transfers.
68 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
69 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
70 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
71 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
72 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
73 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
74 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
75 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
76 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
77 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
78 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
79 callbacks.
80 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
81 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
82 through the idle threads now.
83 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
84 - eg/event was pretty broken.
85 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
