9 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
10 interpreter variables.
11 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
12 by Andreas König).
13 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
14
156.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
16 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
17 perl bug, of all things.
18
196.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
20 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
21 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
22 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
23 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
24 possibly causing a deadlock.
25 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
26 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
27 where the actual call is.
28 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
29 the right thing to do, just in case.
30 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
31 or under adverse conditions.
32
336.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
34 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
35 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
36
376.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
38 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
39 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
40 by Darin McBride).
41
426.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
43 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
44 while the request was ongoing.
45
466.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
47 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
48 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
49 likely causing a crash.
50
516.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
52 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
53 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
54 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
55 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
56 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
57 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
58 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
59 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
60 this detection cannot work reliably.
61 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
62 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
63
646.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
65 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
66 perls.
67 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
68 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
69 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
70 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
71 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
72 the testsuite.
73 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
74 improved compatibility with LWP.
75 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
76 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
77 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
78 - libcoro version 3 "released".
79 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
80 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
81 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
82
836.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
84 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
85 big endian systems (reported by many people).
86 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
87
886.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
89 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
90 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
91 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
92 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
93 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
94 - use fd -1 in mmap.
95 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
96 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
97
986.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
99 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
100 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
101
1026.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
7 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV). 103 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
8 - update ecb.h. 104 - update ecb.h.
