1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm.
4 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
5 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
6 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
7 Event watchers were used directly.
8 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
9 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now
10 without going through a _coro_state member.
11 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
12 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
13 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
14 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
15 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
16 - updated to newest libcoro.
17 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
18
192.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
20 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
21 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
22 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
23 make LWP non-blocking.
24 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
25 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
26 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
27 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
28 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
29 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
30 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
31 by LWP(!!).
32 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
33 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
34 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
35 did already.
36
372.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
38 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
39 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
40 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
41 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
42 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
43 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
44 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
45 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
46
472.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
48 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
49
501.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
51
521.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
53 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
54 mark & sweep gc run.
55 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
56
571.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
58 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
59 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
60
611.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
62 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
63 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
64 wrong package.
65 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
66 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
67 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
68 normally uses.
69 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
70
711.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
72 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
73
741.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
75 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
76 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
77 - strict'ify some modules.
78 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
79 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
80 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
81
821.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
83 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
84 when 'l'inux method was used.
85
861.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
87 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
88
891.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
90 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
91 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
92 Coro::State::flush method.
93 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
94
951.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
96 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
97 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
98 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
99 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
100 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
101
1021.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
103 - change of contact address.
104
1051.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
106 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
107 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
108
1091.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
110 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
111 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
112 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
113
1140.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
115 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
116
1170.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
118 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
119 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
120 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
121 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
122 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
123 fixable).
124 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
125
1260.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
127 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
128 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
129 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
130 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
131 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
132 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
133 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
134 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
135 - fix for threaded perl.
136
1370.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
138 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
139 memory leaks.
140 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
141 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
142 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
143
1440.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
145 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
146 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
147
1480.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
149 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
150 of new features.
3 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker. 151 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
4 Highly correct stuff, that is... 152 Highly correct stuff, that is...
153 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
154 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

60.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003 1560.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
7 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD, 157 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
8 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext. 158 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
9 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin, 159 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
