135.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
14 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
15 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
16
175.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
18 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
19 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
20 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
21 not on demand.
22 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
23
245.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
25 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
26 when no threads had been readied between detecting
27 the event loop and actually running it.
28 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
29 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
30 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
31 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
32 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
33 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
34 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
35 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
36 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
37 for hardcode select overriding.
38
395.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
40 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
41 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
42 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
43
445.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
45 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
46 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
47 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
48 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
49 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
50 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
51 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
52 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
53 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
54 (Coro::State::enable_times).
55
565.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
57 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
58 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
59 idle_upto).
60 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
61 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
62 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
63 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
64 had already been freed.
65 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
66 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
67 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
68 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
69 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
70 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
71 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
72 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
73 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
74 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
75 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
76 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
77
785.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
79 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
80 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
81 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
82 should support a prepare callback.
83
845.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
85 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
86 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
87 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
88
895.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
90 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
91 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
92 spurious warnings.
93 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
94 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
95 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
96 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
97 - deprecate Coro::guard.
98 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
99 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
100 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
101 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
102 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
103 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
104 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
105 to avoid needless segfaults.
106
1075.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
108 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
109 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
110 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
111 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
112 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
113 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
114 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
115 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
116 destruction.
117 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
118 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
119 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
120 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
121 pthreads fare better?).
122 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
123
1245.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
125 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
126 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
127 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
128

134 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
135 LWP data transfers.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 136 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
14 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 137 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state

16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 139 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.

24 callbacks. 147 callbacks.
25 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and 148 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
26 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace 149 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace

151 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
