9 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
10 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
11
125.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
13 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
14 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
15 method call.
16 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
17 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
18 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
19 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
20
215.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
22 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
23 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
24 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
25 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
26
275.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
28 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
29 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
30 out of the box.
31 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
32 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
33 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
34
355.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
36 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
37 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
38 Waldorf).
39 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
40
415.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
42 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
43 (testcase by Marc Mims).
44 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
45 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
46 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
47 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
48 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
49 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
50 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
51 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
52 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
53 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
54
555.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
56 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
57 together.
58 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
59 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
60 the most common source of confusion.
61 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
62 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
63 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
64 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
65
665.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
67 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
68 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
69 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
70 - new method $state->swap_sv.
71 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
72 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
73 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
74 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
75 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
76 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
77 - use common::sense everywhere now.
78 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
79 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
80
815.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
82 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
83 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
84 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
85 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
86 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
87 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
88
895.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
90 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
91 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
92
935.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
94 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
95 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
96 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
97 not on demand.
98 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
99
1005.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
101 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
102 when no threads had been readied between detecting
103 the event loop and actually running it.
104 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
105 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
106 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
107 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
108 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
109 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
110 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
111 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
112 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
113 for hardcode select overriding.
114
1155.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
116 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
117 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
118 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
119
1205.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
11 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via 121 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
12 AnyEvent::Socket instead. 122 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
13 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores. 123 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
14 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic 124 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
15 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf). 125 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
