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