4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang's
5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

7 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
8 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
9 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
10 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
11 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
12 callbacks (best effort).

15 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
16 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
17 my attention by Max Maischein).
18 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
19
205.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
21 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
22
235.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
24 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
25 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
26 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
27 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
28 saves quite a lot of memory.
29
305.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
31 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
32 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
33 method call.
34 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
35 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
36 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
37 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
38
395.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
40 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
41 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
42 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
43 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
44
455.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
46 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
47 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
48 out of the box.
49 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
50 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
51 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
52
535.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
54 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
55 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
56 Waldorf).
57 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
58
595.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
60 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
61 (testcase by Marc Mims).
62 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
63 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
64 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
65 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
66 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
67 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
68 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
69 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
70 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
71 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
72
735.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
74 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
75 together.
76 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
77 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
78 the most common source of confusion.
79 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
80 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
81 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
82 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
83
845.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
85 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
86 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
87 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
88 - new method $state->swap_sv.
89 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
90 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
91 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
92 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
93 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
94 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
95 - use common::sense everywhere now.
96 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
97 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
98
995.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
100 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
101 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
102 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
103 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
104 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
105 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
106
1075.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
108 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
109 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
110
1115.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
112 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
113 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
114 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
115 not on demand.
116 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
117
1185.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
119 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
120 when no threads had been readied between detecting
121 the event loop and actually running it.
122 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
123 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
124 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
125 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
126 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
127 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
128 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
129 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
130 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
131 for hardcode select overriding.
132
1335.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
134 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
135 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
136 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
137
1385.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
139 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
140 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
11 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores. 141 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
142 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
143 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
144 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
145 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
146 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
147 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
148 (Coro::State::enable_times).
12 149
135.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009 1505.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
14 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent, 151 - 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, 152 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
16 idle_upto). 153 idle_upto).
