5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),

10 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
11 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
12 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
13 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
14 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
15 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
16 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
17 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
18 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
19 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).

215.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
22 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
23 together.
24 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
25 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
26 the most common source of confusion.
27 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
28 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
29 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
30 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
31
325.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
33 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
34 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
35 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
36 - new method $state->swap_sv.
37 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
38 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
39 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
40 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
41 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
42 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
43 - use common::sense everywhere now.
44 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
45 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
46
475.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
48 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
49 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
50 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
51 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
52 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
53 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
54
555.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
56 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
57 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
58
595.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
60 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
61 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
62 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
63 not on demand.
64 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
65
665.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
67 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
68 when no threads had been readied between detecting
69 the event loop and actually running it.
70 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
71 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
72 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
73 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
74 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
75 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
76 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
77 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
78 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
79 for hardcode select overriding.
80
815.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
82 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
83 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
84 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.

11 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via 87 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
12 AnyEvent::Socket instead. 88 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
13 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores. 89 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
