12 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
13 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
14 idle_upto).
15 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
16 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
17 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
18 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
19 had already been freed.
20 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
21 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
22 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
23 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
24 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
25 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
26 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
27 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
28 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
29 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
30 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
31 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
32
335.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
34 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
35 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
36 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
37 should support a prepare callback.
38
395.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
40 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
41 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
42 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
43
445.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
45 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
46 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
47 spurious warnings.
48 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
49 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
50 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
51 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
52 - deprecate Coro::guard.
53 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
54 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
55 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
56 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
57 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
58 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
59 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
60 to avoid needless segfaults.
61
625.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
63 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
64 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
65 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
66 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
67 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
68 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
69 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
70 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
71 destruction.
72 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
73 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
74 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
75 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
76 pthreads fare better?).
77 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
78
795.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
80 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
81 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
82 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
83
845.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
85 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
86 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
87 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
88 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
89 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
90 LWP data transfers.
91 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
92 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
93 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
94 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
95 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
96 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
97 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
98 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
99 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
100 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
101 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
102 callbacks.
103 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
104 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
105 through the idle threads now.
106 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
107 - eg/event was pretty broken.
108 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
