10 - bad things could happen in Coro::EV::timed_once if the arguments 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".
11 were wrong. Also support magic values as timed_io_once args. 75 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
12 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV 76 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
13 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV. 77 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
