3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell). 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).
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)).

9 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
10 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
11 method call.
12 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
13 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.

155.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
16 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
17 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
18 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
19 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
20
215.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
22 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
23 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
24 out of the box.
25 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
26 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
27 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
28
295.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
30 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
31 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
32 Waldorf).
33 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
34
355.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
36 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
37 (testcase by Marc Mims).
38 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
39 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
40 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
41 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
42 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
43 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
44 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
45 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
46 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
47 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
48
495.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
50 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
51 together.
52 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
53 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
54 the most common source of confusion.
55 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
56 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
57 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
58 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
59
605.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
61 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
62 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
63 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
64 - new method $state->swap_sv.
65 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
66 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
67 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
68 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
69 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
70 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
71 - use common::sense everywhere now.
72 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
73 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
74
755.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
76 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
77 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
78 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
79 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
80 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
81 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
82
835.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
84 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
85 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
86
875.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
88 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
89 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
90 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
91 not on demand.
92 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
93
945.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
95 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
96 when no threads had been readied between detecting
97 the event loop and actually running it.
11 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage 98 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
12 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations. 99 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
100 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
101 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
102 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
103 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
104 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
105 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
106 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
107 for hardcode select overriding.

145.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009 1095.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
15 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by 110 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
16 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). 111 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
17 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker. 112 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
