9 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
10 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
11 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
12
135.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
14 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
15 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
16 Waldorf).
17 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
18
195.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
20 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
21 (testcase by Marc Mims).
22 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
23 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
24 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
25 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
26 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
27 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
28 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
29 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
30 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
31 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
32
335.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
34 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
35 together.
36 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
37 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
38 the most common source of confusion.
39 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
40 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
41 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
42 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
43
445.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
45 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
46 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
47 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
48 - new method $state->swap_sv.
49 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
50 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
51 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
52 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
53 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
54 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
55 - use common::sense everywhere now.
56 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
57 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
58
595.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
60 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
61 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
62 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
63 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
64 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
65 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
66
675.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
68 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
69 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
70
715.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
72 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
73 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
74 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
75 not on demand.
76 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
77
785.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
79 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
80 when no threads had been readied between detecting
81 the event loop and actually running it.
82 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
83 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
84 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
85 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
86 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
87 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
88 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
89 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
90 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
91 for hardcode select overriding.
92
935.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
94 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
95 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
96 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
97
985.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
99 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
100 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
101 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
102 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
103 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
104 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
105 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
106 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
107 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
108 (Coro::State::enable_times).
109
1105.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
111 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
112 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
113 idle_upto).
114 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
11 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages: you have to actually run 115 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
12 the event loop somewhere to be able to poll for events 116 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
13 in the presence of ready threads. 117 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
118 had already been freed.
119 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
14 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked 120 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
15 list instead of an array (~5-10%). 121 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
16 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells. 122 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
17 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage. 123 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
124 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
125 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
126 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
127 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
128 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
129 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
130 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

20 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in 133 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
21 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later. 134 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
22 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options, 135 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
