2 2
30.53 3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?
6
7 - minor documentation cleanup.
8
92.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
10 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
11 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
12 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
13 make LWP non-blocking.
14 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
15 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
16 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
17 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
18 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
19 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
20 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
21 by LWP(!!).
22 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
23 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
24 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
25 did already.
26
272.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
28 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
29 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
30 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
31 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
32 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
33 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
34 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
35 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
36
372.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
38 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
39
401.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
41
421.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
43 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
44 mark & sweep gc run.
45 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
46
471.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
48 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
49 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
50
511.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
52 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
53 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
54 wrong package.
55 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
56 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
57 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
58 normally uses.
59 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
60
611.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
62 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
63
641.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
65 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
66 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
67 - strict'ify some modules.
68 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
69 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
70 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
71
721.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
73 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
74 when 'l'inux method was used.
75
761.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
77 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
78
791.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
80 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
81 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
82 Coro::State::flush method.
83 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
84
851.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
86 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
87 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
88 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
89 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
90 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
91
921.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
93 - change of contact address.
94
951.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
96 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
97 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
98
991.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
100 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
101 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
102 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
103
1040.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
105 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
106
1070.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
108 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
109 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
110 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
111 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
112 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
113 fixable).
114 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
115
1160.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
117 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
118 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
119 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
120 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
121 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
122 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
123 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
124 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
125 - fix for threaded perl.
126
1270.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
128 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
129 memory leaks.
130 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
131 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
132 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
133
1340.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
135 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
136 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
137
1380.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
139 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
140 of new features.
141 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
142 Highly correct stuff, that is...
143 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
144 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
145
1460.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
147 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
148 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
149 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
150 so preselect it.
151
1520.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
153 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
154 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
155
1560.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
157 - added a README.linux-glibc.
158 - new module Coro::Select.
159 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
160 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
161 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
162
1630.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
164 - made lazy context switching the default.
165 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
166 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
167 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
168 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
169
1700.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
171 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
172 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
173 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
174 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
175 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
176 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
177
1780.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
179 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
180 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
181 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
182
1830.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
184 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
185 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
186 without Event, which freezes).
187
1880.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
189 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.

7 new ones. 195 new ones.
8 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event). 196 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
