9 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
10 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
11 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
12
135.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
14 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
15 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
16 Waldorf).
17 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
18
195.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
20 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
21 (testcase by Marc Mims).
22 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
23 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
24 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
25 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
26 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
27 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
28 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
29 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
30 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
31 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
32
335.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
34 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
35 together.
36 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
37 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
38 the most common source of confusion.
39 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
40 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
41 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
42 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
43
445.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
45 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
46 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
47 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
48 - new method $state->swap_sv.
49 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
50 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
51 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
52 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
53 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
54 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
55 - use common::sense everywhere now.
56 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
57 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
58
595.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
60 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
61 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
62 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
63 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
64 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
65 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
66
675.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
68 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
69 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
70
715.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
72 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
73 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
74 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
75 not on demand.
76 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
