12 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
13 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
14 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
15 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
16 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
17 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
18
195.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
20 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
21 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
22
235.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
24 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
25 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
26 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
27 not on demand.
28 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
29
305.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
31 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
32 when no threads had been readied between detecting
33 the event loop and actually running it.
34 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
35 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
36 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
37 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
38 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
39 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
40 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
41 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
42 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
43 for hardcode select overriding.
44
455.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
46 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
47 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
48 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
49
505.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
51 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
52 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
53 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
54 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
55 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
56 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
57 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
58 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
59 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
60 (Coro::State::enable_times).
61
625.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
63 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
64 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
65 idle_upto).
66 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
67 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
68 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
69 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
70 had already been freed.
71 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
72 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
73 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
74 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
75 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
76 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
77 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
78 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
79 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
80 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
81 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
82 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
83
845.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
85 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
86 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
87 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
88 should support a prepare callback.
89
905.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
91 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
92 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
93 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
94
955.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
96 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
97 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
98 spurious warnings.
99 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
100 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
101 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
102 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
103 - deprecate Coro::guard.
104 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
105 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
106 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
107 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
108 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
109 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
110 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
111 to avoid needless segfaults.
112
1135.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
114 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
115 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
116 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
117 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
118 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
119 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
120 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
121 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
122 destruction.
123 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
124 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
125 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
126 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
127 pthreads fare better?).
128 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
129
1305.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
131 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
132 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
133 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
134
1355.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
136 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 137 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 138 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 139 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
140 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
141 LWP data transfers.
142 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
143 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
144 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
11 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 145 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
146 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
147 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
148 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
149 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
150 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
151 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
152 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
153 callbacks.
154 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
155 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
156 through the idle threads now.
157 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
158 - eg/event was pretty broken.
159 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.

14 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience 162 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
15 stability issues. 163 stability issues.
16 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 164 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
