9 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
10
115.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
12 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
13 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
14 Waldorf).
15 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
16
175.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
18 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
19 (testcase by Marc Mims).
20 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
21 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
22 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
23 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
24 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
25 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
26 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
27 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
28 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
29 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
30
315.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
32 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
33 together.
34 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
35 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
36 the most common source of confusion.
37 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
38 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
39 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
40 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
41
425.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
43 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
44 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
45 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
46 - new method $state->swap_sv.
47 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
48 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
49 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
50 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
51 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
52 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
53 - use common::sense everywhere now.
54 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
55 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
56
575.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
58 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
59 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
60 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
61 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
62 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
63 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
64
655.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
66 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
67 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
68
695.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
70 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
71 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
72 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
73 not on demand.
74 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
75
765.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
77 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
78 when no threads had been readied between detecting
79 the event loop and actually running it.
11 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage 80 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
12 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations. 81 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
82 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
83 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
84 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
85 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
13 - clarified libcoro license and copyright. 86 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
14 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!! 87 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
88 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
89 for hardcode select overriding.

165.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009 915.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
17 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by 92 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
18 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). 93 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
19 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker. 94 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
