10 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
11 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
12 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
13 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
14
155.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
16 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
17 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
18 out of the box.
19 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
20 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
21 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
22
235.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
24 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
25 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
26 Waldorf).
27 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
28
295.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
30 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
31 (testcase by Marc Mims).
32 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
33 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
34 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
35 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
36 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
37 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
38 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
39 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
40 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
41 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
42
435.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
44 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
45 together.
46 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
47 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
48 the most common source of confusion.
49 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
50 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
51 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
52 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
53
545.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
55 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
56 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
57 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
58 - new method $state->swap_sv.
59 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
60 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
61 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
62 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
63 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
64 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
65 - use common::sense everywhere now.
66 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
67 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
68
695.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
70 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
71 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
72 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
73 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
74 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
75 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
76
775.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
78 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
79 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
80
815.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
82 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
83 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
84 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
85 not on demand.
86 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
87
885.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
89 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
90 when no threads had been readied between detecting
91 the event loop and actually running it.
92 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
93 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
94 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
95 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
96 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
97 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
98 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
99 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
100 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
101 for hardcode select overriding.

115.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009 1035.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
12 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by 104 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
13 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). 105 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
14 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker. 106 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
