8 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
9 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
10 likely causing a crash.
11
126.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
13 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
14 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
15 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
16 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
17 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
18 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
19 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
20 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
21 this detection cannot work reliably.
22 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
23 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
24
256.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
26 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
27 perls.
28 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
29 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
30 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
31 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
32 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
33 the testsuite.
34 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
35 improved compatibility with LWP.
36 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
37 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
38 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
39 - libcoro version 3 "released".
40 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
41 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
42 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
43
446.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
45 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
46 big endian systems (reported by many people).
47 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
48
496.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
50 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
51 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
52 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
53 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
54 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
55 - use fd -1 in mmap.
56 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
57 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
58
596.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
60 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
61 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
62
636.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
64 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
65 - update ecb.h.
66
676.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
68 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
69 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
70 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
71 twice just to be sure.
72 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
73 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
74 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
75 even better performance...).
76
776.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
78 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
79 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
80 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
81 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
82
836.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
8 - use even more effciient and more compatible condvars for 84 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
9 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :) 85 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
10 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates. 86 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.

126.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011 886.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
