10 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
11 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
12 out of the box.
13 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
14 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
15 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
16
175.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
18 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
19 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
20 Waldorf).
21 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
22
235.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
24 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
25 (testcase by Marc Mims).
26 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
27 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
28 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
29 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
30 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
31 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
32 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
33 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
34 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
35 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
36
375.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
38 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
39 together.
40 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
41 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
42 the most common source of confusion.
43 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
44 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
45 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
46 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
47
485.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
49 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
50 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
51 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
52 - new method $state->swap_sv.
53 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
54 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
55 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
56 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
57 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
58 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
59 - use common::sense everywhere now.
60 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
61 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
62
635.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
64 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
65 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
66 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
67 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
68 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
69 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
70
715.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
72 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
73 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
74
755.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
76 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
77 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
78 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
79 not on demand.
80 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
81
825.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
83 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
84 when no threads had been readied between detecting
85 the event loop and actually running it.
86 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
87 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
88 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
89 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
90 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
91 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
92 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
93 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
94 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
95 for hardcode select overriding.
96
975.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
98 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
99 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
100 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
101
1025.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
103 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
104 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
105 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
106 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
107 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
108 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
109 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
110 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
111 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
112 (Coro::State::enable_times).
113
1145.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
115 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
116 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
117 idle_upto).
118 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
119 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
120 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
121 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
122 had already been freed.
123 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
124 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
125 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
126 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
127 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
128 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
129 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
130 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
131 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
132 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
133 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
134 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
135
1365.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
137 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
138 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
139 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
140 should support a prepare callback.
141
1425.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
9 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume. 143 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
10 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close 144 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
11 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn). 145 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
