11 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
12 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
13 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
14 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
15 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
16 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
17 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
18 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
19 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
20 (Coro::State::enable_times).
21
225.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
23 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
24 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
25 idle_upto).
26 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
27 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
28 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
29 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
30 had already been freed.
31 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
32 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
33 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
34 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
35 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
36 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
37 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
38 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
39 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
40 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
41 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
42 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
43
445.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
45 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
46 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
47 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
48 should support a prepare callback.
49
505.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
51 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
52 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
53 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
54
555.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
56 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
57 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
58 spurious warnings.
59 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
60 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
61 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
62 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
63 - deprecate Coro::guard.
64 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
65 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
66 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
67 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
68 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
69 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
70 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
71 to avoid needless segfaults.
72
735.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
74 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
75 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
76 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
77 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
78 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
79 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
80 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
81 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
82 destruction.
83 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
84 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
85 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
86 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
87 pthreads fare better?).
88 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
89
905.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
91 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
92 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
93 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
94
955.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
96 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
97 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
98 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
99 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
100 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
101 LWP data transfers.
102 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
103 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
104 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
105 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
106 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
107 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
108 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
109 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
110 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
111 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
112 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
113 callbacks.
114 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
115 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
116 through the idle threads now.
117 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
118 - eg/event was pretty broken.
119 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
