11TODO: make Coro::EV/event optional in Coro::AnyEvent
12 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages: you have to actually run
13 the event loop somewhere to be able to poll for events
14 in the presence of ready threads.
15 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
16 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
17 had already been freed.
18 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
19 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
20 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
21 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
22
235.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
24 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
25 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
26 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
27 should support a prepare callback.
28
295.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
30 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
31 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
32 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
33
345.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
35 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
36 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
37 spurious warnings.
38 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
39 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
40 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
41 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
42 - deprecate Coro::guard.
43 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
44 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
45 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
46 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
47 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
48 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
49 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
50 to avoid needless segfaults.
51
525.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
53 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
54 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
55 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
56 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
57 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
58 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
59 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
60 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
61 destruction.
62 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
63 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
64 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
65 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
66 pthreads fare better?).
67 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
68
695.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
70 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
71 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
72 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
73
745.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
75 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 76 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 77 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 78 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
79 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
80 LWP data transfers.
81 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
82 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
83 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
11 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 84 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
12 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 85 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
13 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub). 86 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
87 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
88 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
89 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
90 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
91 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
92 callbacks.
93 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
94 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
95 through the idle threads now.
96 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
97 - eg/event was pretty broken.
14 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 98 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
