3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?
6
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 Event watchers were used directly.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
10 - minor documentation cleanup.
11 - very minor optimisations and cleanups.
12
132.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
14 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
15 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
16 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
17 make LWP non-blocking.
18 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
19 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
20 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
21 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
22 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
23 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
24 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
25 by LWP(!!).
26 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
27 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
28 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
29 did already.
30
312.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
32 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
33 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
34 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
35 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
36 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
37 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
38 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
39 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
40
412.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
42 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
43
441.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
45
461.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
47 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
48 mark & sweep gc run.
49 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
50
511.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
52 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
53 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
54
551.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
56 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
57 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
58 wrong package.
59 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
60 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
61 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
62 normally uses.
63 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
64
651.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
66 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
67
681.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
69 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
70 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
71 - strict'ify some modules.
72 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
73 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
74 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
75
761.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
77 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
78 when 'l'inux method was used.
79
801.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
81 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
82
831.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
84 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
85 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
86 Coro::State::flush method.
87 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
88
891.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
90 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
91 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
92 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
93 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
94 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
95
961.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
97 - change of contact address.
98
991.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
100 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
101 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
102
1031.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
104 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
105 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
106 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
107
1080.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
109 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
110
1110.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
112 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
113 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
114 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
115 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
116 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
117 fixable).
118 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
119
1200.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
121 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
122 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
123 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
124 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
125 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
126 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
127 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
128 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
129 - fix for threaded perl.
130
1310.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
132 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
133 memory leaks.
134 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
135 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
136 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
137
1380.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
139 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
140 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
141
1420.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
143 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
144 of new features.
145 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
146 Highly correct stuff, that is...
147 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
148 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
149
1500.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
151 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
152 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
153 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
154 so preselect it.
155
1560.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
157 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
158 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
159
1600.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
161 - added a README.linux-glibc.
162 - new module Coro::Select.
163 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
164 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
165 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
166
1670.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
168 - made lazy context switching the default.
169 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
170 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
171 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
172 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
173
1740.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
175 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
176 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
177 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
178 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
179 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
180 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
181
1820.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
183 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
184 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
185 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
2 186
30.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002 1870.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
4 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on 188 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
5 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin, 189 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
6 without Event, which freezes). 190 without Event, which freezes).
