10 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
11 (testcase by Marc Wims).
12 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
13 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
14 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
15 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
16 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
17 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
18 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
19 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
20 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
21 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
22
235.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
24 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
25 together.
26 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
27 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
28 the most common source of confusion.
29 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
30 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
31 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
32 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
33
345.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
35 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
36 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
37 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
38 - new method $state->swap_sv.
39 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
40 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
41 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
42 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
43 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
44 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
45 - use common::sense everywhere now.
46 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
47 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
48
495.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
50 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
51 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
52 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
53 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
54 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
55 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
56
575.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
58 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
59 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
60
615.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
62 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
63 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
64 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
65 not on demand.
66 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
67
685.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
69 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
70 when no threads had been readied between detecting
71 the event loop and actually running it.
72 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
73 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
74 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
75 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
76 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
77 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
78 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
79 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
80 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
81 for hardcode select overriding.
82
835.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
84 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
85 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
86 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
87
885.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
89 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
90 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
91 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
92 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
93 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
94 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
95 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
96 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
97 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
98 (Coro::State::enable_times).

12 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent, 101 - 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, 102 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
14 idle_upto). 103 idle_upto).
