5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),

7 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
8 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
9 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.

115.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
12 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
13 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
14 method call.
15 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
16 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
17 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
18 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.

205.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
21 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
22 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
23 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
24 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
25
265.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
27 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
28 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
29 out of the box.
30 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
31 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
32 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
33
345.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
35 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
36 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
37 Waldorf).
38 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
39
405.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
41 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
42 (testcase by Marc Mims).
43 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
44 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
45 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
46 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
47 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
48 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
49 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
50 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
51 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
52 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
53
545.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
55 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
56 together.
57 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
58 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
59 the most common source of confusion.
60 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
61 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
62 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
63 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
64
655.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
66 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
67 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
68 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
69 - new method $state->swap_sv.
70 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
71 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
72 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
73 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
74 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
75 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
76 - use common::sense everywhere now.
77 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
78 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
79
805.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
81 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
82 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
83 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
84 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
85 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
86 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
87
885.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
89 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
90 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
91
925.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
93 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
94 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
11 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded, 95 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
12 not on demand. 96 not on demand.
97 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.

16 when no threads had been readied between detecting 101 when no threads had been readied between detecting
17 the event loop and actually running it. 102 the event loop and actually running it.
