7 | - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block |
|
|
8 | (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or |
|
|
9 | deadlocking. |
|
|
10 | - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but |
|
|
11 | cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. |
|
|
12 | - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to |
|
|
13 | be able to implement mutual cancellation. |
|
|
14 | - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently |
|
|
15 | allocating context stack entries. |
|
|
16 | - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is |
|
|
17 | now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion. |
|
|
18 | - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy |
|
|
19 | callbacks (best effort). |
|
|
20 | - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf |
|
|
21 | functions to have destructors. |

|
|
24 | - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to |
|
|
25 | work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to |
|
|
26 | my attention by Max Maischein). |
|
|
27 | - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | 5.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011 |
|
|
30 | - backport to windows process emulation code again. |
|
|
31 | |
|
|
32 | 5.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011 |
|
|
33 | - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro". |
|
|
34 | - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has |
|
|
35 | introduced without depreciation period. sigh. |
|
|
36 | - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which |
|
|
37 | saves quite a lot of memory. |
|
|
38 | |
|
|
39 | 5.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011 |
|
|
40 | - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore, |
|
|
41 | Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new" |
|
|
42 | method call. |
|
|
43 | - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module. |
|
|
44 | - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage. |
|
|
45 | - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes. |
|
|
46 | - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore. |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | 5.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010 |
|
|
49 | - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally |
|
|
50 | working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack. |
|
|
51 | - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box |
|
|
52 | with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational). |
|
|
53 | |
|
|
54 | 5.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010 |
|
|
55 | - port to the EV 4.0 API. |
|
|
56 | - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work |
|
|
57 | out of the box. |
|
|
58 | - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes |
|
|
59 | so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule. |
|
|
60 | - "ported" libcoro to C++. |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | 5.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010 |
|
|
63 | - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising |
|
|
64 | Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias |
|
|
65 | Waldorf). |
|
|
66 | - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning. |
|
|
67 | |
|
|
68 | 5.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010 |
|
|
69 | - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write |
|
|
70 | (testcase by Marc Mims). |
