3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell). 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).
4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang's
5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7TODO: unready_all
8TODO: myhttpd header parsing
9TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)? 4TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)?
5TODO: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/archive/s2ce.aspx
6TODO: cancel calling another coro that cancels ourselves => crash (CF_DELAYCANCEL?) -> canceltest
10 7
11TODO: better error reporting when blocking inside the event idle loop? idleblock 8 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
125.21 9 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
10 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
11 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
12 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
13 callbacks (best effort).

16 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
17 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
18 my attention by Max Maischein).
19 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
20
215.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
22 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
23
245.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
25 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
26 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
27 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
28 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
29 saves quite a lot of memory.
30
315.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
32 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
33 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
34 method call.
35 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
36 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
37 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
38 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
39
405.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
41 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
42 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
43 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
44 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
45
465.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
47 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
48 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
49 out of the box.
50 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
51 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
52 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
53
545.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
55 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
56 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
57 Waldorf).
58 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
59
605.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
61 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
62 (testcase by Marc Mims).
63 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
64 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
65 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
66 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
67 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
68 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
69 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
70 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
71 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
72 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
73
745.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
13 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used 75 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
14 together. 76 together.
15 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in 77 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
16 Coro::AnyEvent. 78 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
79 the most common source of confusion.
80 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
81 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
82 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
17 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section. 83 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.

20 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped. 86 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
21 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now. 87 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
