10 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
11 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
12 method call.
13 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
14 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
15 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
16 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
17
185.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
19 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
20 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
21 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
22 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
23
245.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
25 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
26 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
27 out of the box.
28 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
29 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
30 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
31
325.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
33 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
34 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
35 Waldorf).
36 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
37
385.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
39 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
40 (testcase by Marc Mims).
41 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
42 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
43 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
44 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
45 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
46 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
47 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
48 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
49 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
50 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
51
525.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
53 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
54 together.
55 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
56 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
57 the most common source of confusion.
58 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
59 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
60 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
61 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
62
635.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
64 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
65 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
66 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
67 - new method $state->swap_sv.
68 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
69 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
70 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
71 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
72 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
73 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
74 - use common::sense everywhere now.
75 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
76 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
77
785.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
79 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
80 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
81 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
82 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
83 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
84 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
85
865.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
87 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
88 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
89
905.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
91 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
92 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
93 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
94 not on demand.
95 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
96
975.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
98 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
99 when no threads had been readied between detecting
100 the event loop and actually running it.
101 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
102 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
103 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
104 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
105 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
106 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
107 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
108 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
109 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
110 for hardcode select overriding.
111
1125.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
113 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
114 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
115 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
116
1175.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
118 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
119 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
120 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
121 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
122 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
123 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
124 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
125 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
126 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
127 (Coro::State::enable_times).

115.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009 1295.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
12 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent, 130 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
13 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle, 131 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
14 idle_upto). 132 idle_upto).
