9 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
10
116.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
12 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
13 perl bug, of all things.
14
156.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
16 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
17 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
18 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
19 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
20 possibly causing a deadlock.
21 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
22 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
23 where the actual call is.
24 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
25 the right thing to do, just in case.
26 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
27 or under adverse conditions.
28
296.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
30 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
31 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
32
336.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
34 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
35 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
36 by Darin McBride).
37
386.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
39 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
40 while the request was ongoing.
41
426.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
43 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
44 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
45 likely causing a crash.
46
476.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
48 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
49 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
50 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
51 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
52 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
53 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
54 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
55 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
56 this detection cannot work reliably.
57 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
58 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
59
606.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
61 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
62 perls.
63 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
64 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
65 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
66 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
67 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
68 the testsuite.
69 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
70 improved compatibility with LWP.
71 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
72 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
73 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
74 - libcoro version 3 "released".
75 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
76 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
77 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
78
796.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
80 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
81 big endian systems (reported by many people).
82 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
83
846.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
85 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
86 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
87 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
88 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
89 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
90 - use fd -1 in mmap.
91 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
92 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
93
946.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
95 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
96 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
97
986.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
99 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
100 - update ecb.h.
101
1026.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
103 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
104 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
105 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
106 twice just to be sure.
107 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
108 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
109 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
110 even better performance...).
111
1126.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
113 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
114 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
115 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
116 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
117
1186.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
119 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
120 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
121 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
122
1236.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
124 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
125 AnyEvent 6.x.
7 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h 126 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
8 hasn't been included. 127 hasn't been included.
