5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),

8 - backport to windows process emulation code again.

105.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
11 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
12 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
13 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
14 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
15 saves quite a lot of memory.
16
175.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
18 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
19 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
20 method call.
21 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
22 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
23 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
24 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
25
265.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
27 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
28 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
29 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
30 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
31
325.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
33 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
34 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
35 out of the box.
36 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
37 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
38 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
39
405.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
41 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
42 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
43 Waldorf).
44 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
45
465.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
47 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
48 (testcase by Marc Mims).
49 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
50 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
51 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
52 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
53 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
54 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
55 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
56 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
57 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
58 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
59
605.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
61 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
62 together.
63 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
64 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
65 the most common source of confusion.
66 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
67 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
68 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
69 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
70
715.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
72 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
73 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
74 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
75 - new method $state->swap_sv.
11 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage, 76 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
12 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip 77 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
13 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments 78 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
14 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first 79 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
15 place). 80 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
81 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
82 - use common::sense everywhere now.
83 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
84 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
