136.57
14 - allow rouse_wait to be called in a different thread.
15 - slightly clarify rouse_cb/rouse_wait documentation.
16 - slightly improve rouse callback performance and memory usage.
17
186.56 Thu Feb 20 19:40:07 CET 2020
19 - Coro::EV::time*once functions used ev_once, which is not cancelable.
20 This could cause problems due to I/O watchers not being stopped up
21 on exceptions/cancellation.
22
236.55 Fri Jul 19 17:28:09 CEST 2019
24 - Coro::RWLock woke up only one reader instead of all after a wrlock
25 (analyzed and patch by Maxim Skorobogatov).
26 - slightly improved documentation of Coro::RWLock and RWLock testcase.
27 - quickly (re)-ported to minix 3.3 before minix crashed again.
28
296.54 Sun Dec 16 11:06:07 CET 2018
30 - reinstate Coro::Select::select prototype - it breaks more than it fixes.
31
326.53 Sun Dec 16 10:33:15 CET 2018
33 - the autogenerated prototypes of Coro::AIO now add ";" at the end
34 to avoid generating named unary operators and messing up parsing
35 (mostly affects aio_mlockall 4 | 8 which was parsed as
36 (aio_mlockall 4) | 8).
37 - do not use a prototype for select in Coro::Select, as CORE::select also
38 doesn't have one.
39
406.52 Tue Aug 14 18:49:43 CEST 2018
41 - libcoro update: allow sharing of coro threads using the pthreads
42 backend among different pthreads, as is required by Coro::Multicore.
43 - always allow ->call and ->eval when the coro is the current coroutine. this
44 makes it possible, among other things, to call these on $Coro::main.
45 - minor code cleanups.
46
476.514 Thu Aug 31 18:25:31 CEST 2017
48 - safe_cancel no longer croaks when called on already-destroyed
49 thread, but instead "just works".
50
516.513 Sat Jul 15 01:18:51 CEST 2017
52 - experimental 5.22 comaptibility changes (PadlistNAMES).
53 - removed attributes example and made sure the other examples
54 still work.
55 - fix some statevar types for newer perls, should be of no consequence.
56
576.512 Fri Jul 14 05:03:17 CEST 2017
58 - seems to pass test suite down till 5.8.9, so make this the
59 minimum requirement in Makefile.PL.
60 - experimental 5.24 compatibility changes (SUB_ARGARRAY).
61 - experimental 5.26 compatibility changes (PL_comppad -> PADOFFSET).
62 - disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid broken (but well-intentioned)
63 fortified longjmp variants in some libcs.
64 - re-try JIT allocation without PROT_EXEC, to hopefully improve
65 portability (still doesn't seem to work around broken selinux
66 mmap everywhere).
67 - speling fixes (Xavier Guimard).
68
696.511 Sun Jun 26 23:44:50 CEST 2016
70 - make it compile with threaded perls again.
71 - simplify and speed up __DIE__ and __WARN__ handling.
72
736.51 Sat Jun 25 20:57:20 CEST 2016
74 - 6.5 release didn't compile on most older perls due to
75 a logic error enabling experimental 5.24 code for all versions.
76 - since various broken or deficient patches float around
77 to work around the vtbl API breakage in perl, let's provide
78 our own workaround, which seems to be much less invasive
79 and more compatible than the approaches seen so far. YMMV.
80 - work around assertion failure in perl_destruct on 5.24
81 (analyzed by Dave Mitchell).
82
836.5 Wed Jun 22 22:23:50 CEST 2016
84 - swap_sv swapping order was not symmetrical, causing
85 wrong swaps when swap_sv was used multiple times on the
86 same sv in the same thread.
87 - swap_sv calls can now be undone by calling it again
88 with the same variables.
89 - swap_sv calls will now be undone in async_pool threads.
90 - split Coro::Semaphore::up/adjust into separate xs functions
91 for better error reporting, at slight codesize increase.
92 - (libcoro) arm assembly support, please test and report.
93 - adjust to PL_savestack changes in perl 5.24 (adapted from
94 the debian patch, which unfortunately gets it wrong).
95
966.49 Sat Oct 17 01:40:12 CEST 2015
97 - throwing an exception to a thread waiting in
98 Coro::Handle using Coro::EV did not stop the watchers,
99 causing the next call to fail (testcase by Martin Pritchard).
100 - bump minimum perl version to 5.10.
101
1026.48 Sun Oct 4 19:03:51 CEST 2015
103 - fix memory leak when Coro::Handle uses Coro::EV internally
104 (testcase by Sten Sten).
105 - update code to libev 4 API (internally, Coro still used the
106 version 3 API calls).
107 - remove unused hv_sig.
108
1096.47 Sat Jul 11 03:58:20 CEST 2015
110 - swap_svs - NVs can be in the SV head beginning with 5.20.
111
1126.46 Tue Jun 30 14:36:30 CEST 2015
113 - restore portability to perls with windows fork emulation
114 (patch by Petr Písař).
115
1166.45 Tue Jun 30 01:40:08 CEST 2015
117 - restore portability to perl 5.16 and below.
118
1196.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015
120 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
121 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
122 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
123 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
124 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
125 - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
126
1276.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
128 - use stability canary.
129 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
130 - update libecb.
131
1326.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
133 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
134 SATO Kentaro).
135 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
136
1376.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
10 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x. 138 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
139 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
140 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
141 when used inside a Coro.
11 - allow zero as agrument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing 142 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
12 as no argument. this works with older versions as well, 143 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
13 but wasn't legal until now. 144 but wasn't legal until now.
145 - slightly better c header file detection.
14 146
156.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014 1476.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
16 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20. 148 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
