9 - FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself will now use Carp::confess
10 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
11 where the actual call is.
12
136.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
14 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
15 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
16
176.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
18 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
19 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
20 by Darin McBride).
21
226.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
23 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
24 while the request was ongoing.
25
266.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
27 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
28 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
29 likely causing a crash.
30
316.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
32 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
33 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
34 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
35 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
36 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
37 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
38 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
39 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
40 this detection cannot work reliably.
41 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
42 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
43
446.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
45 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
46 perls.
47 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
48 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
49 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
50 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
51 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
52 the testsuite.
53 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
54 improved compatibility with LWP.
55 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
56 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
57 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
58 - libcoro version 3 "released".
59 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
60 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
61 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
62
636.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
64 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
65 big endian systems (reported by many people).
66 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
67
686.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
69 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
70 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
71 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
72 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
73 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
74 - use fd -1 in mmap.
75 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
76 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
77
786.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
79 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
80 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
81
826.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
83 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
84 - update ecb.h.
85
866.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
87 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
88 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
89 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
90 twice just to be sure.
91 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
92 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
93 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
94 even better performance...).
95
966.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
97 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
98 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
99 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
100 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
101
1026.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
103 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
104 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
105 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
6 106
76.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011 1076.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
8 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to 108 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
9 AnyEvent 6.x. 109 AnyEvent 6.x.
10 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h 110 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
