2 2
30.51 3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?
6
7 - avoid deadlock in Coro::Event's idle process when it is called
8 early with no active watchers.
9 - minor documentation cleanup.
10
112.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
12 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
13 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
14 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
15 make LWP non-blocking.
16 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
17 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
18 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
19 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
20 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
21 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
22 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
23 by LWP(!!).
24 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
25 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
26 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
27 did already.
28
292.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
30 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
31 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
32 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
33 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
34 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
35 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
36 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
37 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
38
392.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
40 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
41
421.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
43
441.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
45 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
46 mark & sweep gc run.
47 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
48
491.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
50 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
51 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
52
531.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
54 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
55 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
56 wrong package.
57 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
58 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
59 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
60 normally uses.
61 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
62
631.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
64 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
65
661.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
67 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
68 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
69 - strict'ify some modules.
70 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
71 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
72 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
73
741.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
75 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
76 when 'l'inux method was used.
77
781.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
79 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
80
811.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
82 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
83 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
84 Coro::State::flush method.
85 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
86
871.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
88 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
89 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
90 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
91 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
92 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
93
941.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
95 - change of contact address.
96
971.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
98 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
99 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
100
1011.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
102 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
103 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
104 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
105
1060.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
107 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
108
1090.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
110 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
111 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
112 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
113 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
114 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
115 fixable).
116 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
117
1180.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
119 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
120 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
121 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
122 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
123 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
124 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
125 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
126 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
127 - fix for threaded perl.
128
1290.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
130 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
131 memory leaks.
132 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
133 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
134 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
135
1360.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
137 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
138 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
139
1400.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
141 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
142 of new features.
143 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
144 Highly correct stuff, that is...
145 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
146 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
147
1480.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
149 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
150 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
151 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
152 so preselect it.
153
1540.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
155 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
156 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
157
1580.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
159 - added a README.linux-glibc.
160 - new module Coro::Select.
161 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
162 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
163 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
164
1650.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
166 - made lazy context switching the default.
167 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
168 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
169 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
170 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
171
1720.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
173 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
174 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
175 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
176 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
177 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
178 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
179
1800.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
181 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
182 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
183 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
184
1850.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
186 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
187 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
188 without Event, which freezes).
189
1900.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
191 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
192
1930.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
194 - some tests for Event.
195 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
196 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
197 new ones.
198 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
199 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
200
2010.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
202 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
203 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
204 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
205
2060.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
4 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination 207 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
5 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..." 208 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
6 error. 209 error.
7 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown. 210 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
8 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop. 211 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
