3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
7 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
8 them without asking.
9
103.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
11 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
12 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
13 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
14 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
15 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
16 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
17
183.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
19 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
20 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
21 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
22 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
23 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
24 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
25 obsolete platforms.
26
273.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
28 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
29 but was rather flaky in practise.
30 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
31 it was reused.
32 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
33 in cede_notself.
34
353.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
36 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
37 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
38 documented and - hopefully - improved.
39 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
40 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
41 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
42 that could errronously trigger.
43 - fix various large and small memleaks.
44 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
45 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
46 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
47 - added Coro::guard function.
48 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
49 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
50 and 128k coros with async_pool).
51 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
52
533.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
54 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
55 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
56 - simplify configuration for users.
57 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
58 their coro replacements.
59
603.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
61 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
62 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
63 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
64 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
65 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
66 - save/restore tainted status.
67 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
68
693.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
70 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
71 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
72 - give a better error message on deadlock.
73 - document Coro::nready.
74 - enhanced testsuite.
75
763.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
77 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
78
793.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
80 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
81 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
82 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
83 pool (size currently hardcoded).
84 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
85 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
86 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
87 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
88 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
89 check for changed watchers.
90 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
91 per event.
92 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
93 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
94 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
95 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
96 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
97 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
98 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
99 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
100 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
101 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
102 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
103 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
104 - updated to newest libcoro.
105 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
106 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
107 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
108 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
109 if somebody asks for it :)
110 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
111 spuriously without the event having happened.
112
1132.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
114 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
115 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
116 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
117 make LWP non-blocking.
118 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
119 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
120 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
121 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
122 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
123 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
124 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
125 by LWP(!!).
126 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
127 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
128 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
129 did already.
130
1312.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
132 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
133 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
134 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
135 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
136 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
137 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
138 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
139 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
140
1412.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
142 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
143

145
1461.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
147 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
148 mark & sweep gc run.
149 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
150
1511.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
152 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
153 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
154
1551.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
156 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
157 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
158 wrong package.
159 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
160 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
161 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
162 normally uses.
163 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
164
1651.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
166 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
167
1681.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
169 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
170 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
171 - strict'ify some modules.
172 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
173 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
174 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
175
1761.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
177 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
178 when 'l'inux method was used.
179
1801.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
181 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
182
1831.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
184 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
185 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
186 Coro::State::flush method.
187 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
188
1891.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
190 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
191 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
192 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
193 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
194 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
195
1961.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
197 - change of contact address.

201 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
202
2031.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
204 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
205 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
206 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
207
2080.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
209 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
210
30.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004 2110.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
