7 | - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly, |
|
|
8 | exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks. |

|
|
11 | - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV). |
|
|
12 | - update ecb.h. |

15 | - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads |
|
|
16 | backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins |
|
|
17 | pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack |
|
|
18 | twice just to be sure. |
|
|
19 | (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS, |
|
|
20 | in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows |
|
|
21 | backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for |
|
|
22 | even better performance...). |

|
25 | - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore |
|
|
26 | (reported by Chip Salzenberg). |
|
|
27 | - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in |
|
|
28 | Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes. |
|
|
29 | |
|
|
30 | 6.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011 |
|
|
31 | - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for |
|
|
32 | compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :) |
|
|
33 | - more inconsequential ecb.h updates. |
|
|
34 | |
|
|
35 | 6.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011 |
|
|
36 | - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to |
|
|
37 | AnyEvent 6.x. |
|
|
38 | - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h |
|
|
39 | hasn't been included. |

|
42 | - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables |
|
|
43 | in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't |
|
|
44 | handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar |
|
|
45 | systems. |
|
|

47 | 6.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011 |
|
|
48 | - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used |
|
|
49 | was not good. thisone should be better. |
|
|
50 | - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself. |
|
