3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
7 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
8 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
9 documented and - hopefully - improved.
10 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
11 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
12 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
13 that could errronously trigger.
14 - fix various large and small memleaks.
15 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
16 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
17 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
18 - added Coro::guard function.
19 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
20 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
21 and 128k coros with async_pool).
22 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
23
243.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
25 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
26 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
27 - simplify configuration for users.
28 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
29 their coro replacements.
30
313.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
32 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
33 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
34 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
35 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
36 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
37 - save/restore tainted status.
38 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
39
403.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
42 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
43 - give a better error message on deadlock.
44 - document Coro::nready.
45 - enhanced testsuite.
46
473.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
48 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
49
503.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
51 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
52 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
53 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
54 pool (size currently hardcoded).
55 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
56 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
57 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
58 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
59 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
60 check for changed watchers.
61 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
62 per event.
63 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
64 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
65 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
66 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
67 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
68 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
69 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
70 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
71 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
72 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
73 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
74 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
75 - updated to newest libcoro.
76 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
77 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
78 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
79 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
80 if somebody asks for it :)
81 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
82 spuriously without the event having happened.
83
842.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
85 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
86 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
87 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
88 make LWP non-blocking.
89 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
90 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
91 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
92 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
93 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
94 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
95 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
96 by LWP(!!).
97 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
98 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
99 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
100 did already.
101
1022.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
103 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
104 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
105 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
106 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
107 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
108 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
109 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
110 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
111
1122.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
113 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
114
1151.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
116
1171.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
118 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
119 mark & sweep gc run.
120 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
121
1221.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
124 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
125
1261.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
127 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
128 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
129 wrong package.
130 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
131 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
132 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
133 normally uses.
134 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
135
1361.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
137 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
138
1391.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
140 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
141 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
142 - strict'ify some modules.
143 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
144 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
145 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
146
1471.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
148 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
149 when 'l'inux method was used.
150
1511.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
152 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
153
1541.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
155 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
156 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
157 Coro::State::flush method.
158 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
159
1601.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
161 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
162 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
163 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
164 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
165 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
