4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang's 4TODO: unready_all

9 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
10 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
11 Waldorf).
12 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
13
145.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
15 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
16 (testcase by Marc Mims).
17 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
18 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
19 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
20 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
21 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
22 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
23 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
24 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
25 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
26 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
27
285.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
29 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
30 together.
31 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
32 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
33 the most common source of confusion.
34 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
35 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
36 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
37 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
38
395.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
40 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
41 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
42 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
43 - new method $state->swap_sv.
44 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
45 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
46 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
47 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
48 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
49 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
50 - use common::sense everywhere now.
51 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
52 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
53
545.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
55 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
56 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
57 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
58 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
59 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
60 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
61
625.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
63 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
64 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
65
665.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
67 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
68 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
69 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
70 not on demand.
71 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
72
735.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
74 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
75 when no threads had been readied between detecting
76 the event loop and actually running it.
77 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
78 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
79 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
80 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
81 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
82 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
83 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
84 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
85 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
86 for hardcode select overriding.
87
885.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
89 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
90 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
91 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
92
935.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
94 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
95 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
96 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
97 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
98 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
99 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
100 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
101 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
102 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
103 (Coro::State::enable_times).
104
1055.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
106 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
107 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
108 idle_upto).
109 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
110 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
111 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
112 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
113 had already been freed.
114 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
115 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
116 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
117 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
118 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
119 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
120 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
121 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
122 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
123 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
124 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
125 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
126
1275.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
128 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
129 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
130 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
131 should support a prepare callback.
132
1335.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
134 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
135 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
136 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
137
1385.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
139 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
140 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
141 spurious warnings.
142 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
143 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
144 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
145 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
146 - deprecate Coro::guard.
147 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
148 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
149 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
150 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
151 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
152 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
153 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
154 to avoid needless segfaults.
155
1565.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
157 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
158 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
159 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
160 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
161 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
162 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
163 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
164 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
165 destruction.
166 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
167 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
168 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
169 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
170 pthreads fare better?).
171 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
172
1735.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
174 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
175 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
176 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

9 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro. 179 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
10 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 180 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
