8 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
9 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
10 my attention by Max Maischein).
11 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
12
135.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
14 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
15
165.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
17 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
18 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
19 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
20 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
21 saves quite a lot of memory.
22
235.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
24 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
25 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
26 method call.
27 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
28 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
29 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
30 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
31
325.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
33 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
34 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
35 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
36 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
37
385.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
39 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
40 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
41 out of the box.
42 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
43 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
44 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
45
465.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
47 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
48 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
49 Waldorf).
50 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
51
525.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
53 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
54 (testcase by Marc Mims).
55 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
56 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
57 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
58 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
59 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
60 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
61 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
62 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
63 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
64 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
65
665.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
67 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
68 together.
69 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
70 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
71 the most common source of confusion.
72 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
73 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
74 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
75 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
76
775.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
78 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
79 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
80 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
81 - new method $state->swap_sv.
82 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
83 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
84 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
85 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
86 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
87 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
88 - use common::sense everywhere now.
89 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
90 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.

11 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes 93 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
12 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug. 94 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
13 - speed up Coro::async considerably. 95 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
96 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
97 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
98 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
