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.
8 - use fd -1 in mmap. 77 - use fd -1 in mmap.
9 - cast I32 to int in error message printf. 78 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
10 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels. 79 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
