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

7 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
8 callbacks (bets effort).

105.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011
11 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
12 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
13 my attention by Max Maischein).
14 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
15
165.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
17 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
18
195.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
20 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
21 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
22 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
23 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
24 saves quite a lot of memory.
25
265.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
27 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
28 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
29 method call.
30 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
31 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
32 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
33 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
34
355.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
36 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
37 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
38 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
39 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
40
415.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
42 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
43 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
44 out of the box.
45 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
46 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
47 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
48
495.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
50 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
51 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
52 Waldorf).
53 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
54
555.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
56 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
57 (testcase by Marc Mims).
58 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
59 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
60 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
61 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
62 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
63 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
64 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
65 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
66 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
67 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
68
695.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
70 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
71 together.
72 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
73 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
74 the most common source of confusion.
75 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
76 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
77 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
78 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
79

11 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped. 81 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
82 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
12 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle. 83 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
84 - new method $state->swap_sv.
13 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage, 85 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,

19 - use common::sense everywhere now. 91 - use common::sense everywhere now.
92 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
