13
14 - libcoro update: allow sharing of coro threads using the pthreads
15 backend among different pthreads, as is required by Coro::Multicore.
16 - minor code cleanups.
17
186.514 Thu Aug 31 18:25:31 CEST 2017
19 - safe_cancel no longer croaks when called on already-destroyed
20 thread, but instead "just works".
21
226.513 Sat Jul 15 01:18:51 CEST 2017
23 - experimental 5.22 comaptibility changes (PadlistNAMES).
24 - removed attributes example and made sure the other examples
25 still work.
26 - fix some statevar types for newer perls, should be of no consequence.
27
286.512 Fri Jul 14 05:03:17 CEST 2017
29 - seems to pass test suite down till 5.8.9, so make this the
30 minimum requirement in Makefile.PL.
31 - experimental 5.24 compatibility changes (SUB_ARGARRAY).
32 - experimental 5.26 compatibility changes (PL_comppad -> PADOFFSET).
33 - disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid broken (but well-intentioned)
34 fortified longjmp variants in some libcs.
35 - re-try JIT allocation without PROT_EXEC, to hopefully improve
36 portability (still doesn't seem to work around broken selinux
37 mmap everywhere).
38 - speling fixes (Xavier Guimard).
39
406.511 Sun Jun 26 23:44:50 CEST 2016
41 - make it compile with threaded perls again.
42 - simplify and speed up __DIE__ and __WARN__ handling.
43
446.51 Sat Jun 25 20:57:20 CEST 2016
45 - 6.5 release didn't compile on most older perls due to
46 a logic error enabling experimental 5.24 code for all versions.
47 - since various broken or deficient patches float around
48 to work around the vtbl API breakage in perl, let's provide
49 our own workaround, which seems to be much less invasive
50 and more compatible than the approaches seen so far. YMMV.
51 - work around assertion failure in perl_destruct on 5.24
52 (analyzed by Dave Mitchell).
53
546.5 Wed Jun 22 22:23:50 CEST 2016
55 - swap_sv swapping order was not symmetrical, causing
56 wrong swaps when swap_sv was used multiple times on the
57 same sv in the same thread.
58 - swap_sv calls can now be undone by calling it again
59 with the same variables.
60 - swap_sv calls will now be undone in async_pool threads.
61 - split Coro::Semaphore::up/adjust into separate xs functions
62 for better error reporting, at slight codesize increase.
63 - (libcoro) arm assembly support, please test and report.
64 - adjust to PL_savestack changes in perl 5.24 (adapted from
65 the debian patch, which unfortunately gets it wrong).
66
676.49 Sat Oct 17 01:40:12 CEST 2015
68 - throwing an exception to a thread waiting in
69 Coro::Handle using Coro::EV did not stop the watchers,
70 causing the next call to fail (testcase by Martin Pritchard).
71 - bump minimum perl version to 5.10.
72
736.48 Sun Oct 4 19:03:51 CEST 2015
74 - fix memory leak when Coro::Handle uses Coro::EV internally
75 (testcase by Sten Sten).
76 - update code to libev 4 API (internally, Coro still used the
77 version 3 API calls).
78 - remove unused hv_sig.
79
806.47 Sat Jul 11 03:58:20 CEST 2015
81 - swap_svs - NVs can be in the SV head beginning with 5.20.
82
836.46 Tue Jun 30 14:36:30 CEST 2015
84 - restore portability to perls with windows fork emulation
85 (patch by Petr Písař).
86
876.45 Tue Jun 30 01:40:08 CEST 2015
88 - restore portability to perl 5.16 and below.
89
906.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015
91 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
92 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
93 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
94 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
95 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
96 - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
