5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

9 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
10 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
11 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
12
135.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
14 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
15 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
16 method call.
17 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
18 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
19 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
20 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
21
225.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
23 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
24 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
25 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
26 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
27
285.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
29 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
30 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
31 out of the box.
32 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
33 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
34 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
35
365.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
37 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
38 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
39 Waldorf).
40 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
41
425.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
43 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
44 (testcase by Marc Mims).
45 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
46 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
47 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
48 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
49 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
50 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
51 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
52 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
53 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
54 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
55
565.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
57 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
58 together.
59 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
60 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
61 the most common source of confusion.
62 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
63 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
64 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
65 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
66
675.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
68 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
69 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
70 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
71 - new method $state->swap_sv.
72 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
73 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
74 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
75 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
76 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
77 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
78 - use common::sense everywhere now.
79 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
80 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
81
825.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
83 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
84 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
85 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
86 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
87 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
88 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
89
905.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
91 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
92 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
93
945.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
95 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
96 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
97 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
98 not on demand.
99 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.

11 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop 102 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop

13 the event loop and actually running it. 104 the event loop and actually running it.
14 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage 105 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
15 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations. 106 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
107 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
108 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
109 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
110 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
16 - clarified libcoro license and copyright. 111 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
17 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!! 112 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
18 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother, 113 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
19 for hardcode select overriding. 114 for hardcode select overriding.
