10 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
11
126.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
13 - use stability canary.
14 - update libecb.
15
166.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
17 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
18 SATO Kentaro).
19 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
20
216.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
22 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
23 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
24 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
25 when used inside a Coro.
26 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
27 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
28 but wasn't legal until now.
29 - slightly better c header file detection.
30
316.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
32 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
33
346.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
35 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
36 interpreter variables.
37 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
38 by Andreas König).
39 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
40
416.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
42 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
43 perl bug, of all things.
44
456.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
46 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
47 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
48 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
49 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
50 possibly causing a deadlock.
51 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
52 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
53 where the actual call is.
54 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
55 the right thing to do, just in case.
56 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
57 or under adverse conditions.
58
596.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
60 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
61 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
62
636.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
64 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
65 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
66 by Darin McBride).
67
686.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
69 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
70 while the request was ongoing.
71
726.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
73 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
74 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
75 likely causing a crash.
76
776.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
78 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
79 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
80 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
81 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
82 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
83 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
84 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
85 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
86 this detection cannot work reliably.
87 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
88 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
89
906.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
91 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
92 perls.
93 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
94 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
95 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
96 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
97 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
98 the testsuite.
99 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
100 improved compatibility with LWP.
101 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
102 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
103 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
104 - libcoro version 3 "released".
105 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
106 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
107 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
108
1096.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
110 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
111 big endian systems (reported by many people).
112 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
113
1146.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
115 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
116 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
117 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
118 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
119 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
8 - use fd = -1 in mmap. 120 - use fd -1 in mmap.
9 - cast I32 to int in error message printf. 121 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
122 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
