11 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
12 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
13 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
14 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
15 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
16 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
17 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
18 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
19 - use common::sense everywhere now.
20 - mark all SLF functions as nodebug, to avoid more debugger bugs.
21 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
22 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
23
245.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
25 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
26 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
27 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
28 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
29 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
30 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
31
325.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
33 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
34 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
35
365.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
37 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
38 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
39 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
40 not on demand.
41 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
42
435.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
44 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
45 when no threads had been readied between detecting
46 the event loop and actually running it.
47 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
48 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
49 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
50 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
51 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
52 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
53 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
54 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
55 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
56 for hardcode select overriding.
57
585.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
59 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
60 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
61 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
62
635.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
64 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
65 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
66 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
67 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
68 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
69 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
70 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
71 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
72 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
73 (Coro::State::enable_times).
74
755.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
76 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
77 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
78 idle_upto).
79 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
80 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
81 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
82 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
83 had already been freed.
84 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
85 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
86 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
87 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
88 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
89 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
90 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
91 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
92 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
93 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
94 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
95 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
96
975.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
98 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
99 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
100 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
101 should support a prepare callback.
102
1035.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
104 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
105 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
106 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
107
1085.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
109 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
110 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
111 spurious warnings.
112 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
113 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
114 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
115 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
116 - deprecate Coro::guard.
117 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
118 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
119 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
120 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
121 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
122 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
123 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
124 to avoid needless segfaults.
125
1265.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
127 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
128 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
129 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
130 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
131 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
132 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
133 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
134 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
135 destruction.
136 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
137 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
138 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
139 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
140 pthreads fare better?).
141 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
