10 - FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself will now use Carp::confess
11 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
12 where the actual call is.
13 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
14 or under adverse conditions.
15
166.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
17 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
18 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
19
206.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
21 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
22 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
23 by Darin McBride).
24
256.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
26 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
27 while the request was ongoing.
28
296.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
30 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
31 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
32 likely causing a crash.
33
346.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
35 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
36 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
37 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
38 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
39 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
40 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
41 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
42 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
43 this detection cannot work reliably.
44 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
45 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
46
476.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
48 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
49 perls.
50 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
51 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
52 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
53 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
54 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
55 the testsuite.
56 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
57 improved compatibility with LWP.
58 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
59 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
60 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
61 - libcoro version 3 "released".
62 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
63 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
64 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
65
666.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
67 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
68 big endian systems (reported by many people).
69 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
70
716.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
72 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
73 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
74 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
75 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
76 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
77 - use fd -1 in mmap.
78 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
79 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
80
816.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
82 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
83 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
84
856.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
86 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
87 - update ecb.h.
88
896.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
90 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
91 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
92 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
93 twice just to be sure.
94 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
95 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
96 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
97 even better performance...).
