1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
4 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
5
6 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
7 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
8 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
9 - strict'ify some modules.
10 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
11 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
12 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
13
14 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
15 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
16 when 'l'inux method was used.
17
18 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
19 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
20
21 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
22 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
23 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
24 Coro::State::flush method.
25 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
26
27 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
28 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
29 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
30 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
31 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
32 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
33
34 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
35 - change of contact address.
36
37 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
38 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
39 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
40
41 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
42 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
43 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
44 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
45
46 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
47 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
48
49 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
50 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
51 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
52 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
53 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
54 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
55 fixable).
56 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
57
58 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
59 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
60 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
61 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
62 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
63 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
64 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
65 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
66 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
67 - fix for threaded perl.
68
69 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
70 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
71 memory leaks.
72 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
73 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
74 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
75
76 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
77 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
78 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
79
80 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
81 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
82 of new features.
83 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
84 Highly correct stuff, that is...
85 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
86 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
87
88 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
89 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
90 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
91 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
92 so preselect it.
93
94 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
95 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
96 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
97
98 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
99 - added a README.linux-glibc.
100 - new module Coro::Select.
101 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
102 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
103 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
104
105 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
106 - made lazy context switching the default.
107 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
108 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
109 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
110 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
111
112 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
113 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
114 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
115 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
116 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
117 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
118 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
119
120 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
121 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
122 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
123 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
124
125 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
126 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
127 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
128 without Event, which freezes).
129
130 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
131 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
132
133 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
134 - some tests for Event.
135 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
136 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
137 new ones.
138 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
139 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
140
141 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
142 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
143 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
144 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
145
146 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
147 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
148 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
149 error.
150 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
151 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
152 - implemented terminate with args + join.
153
154 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
155 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
156 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
157 in various modules.
158 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
159 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
160
161 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
162 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
163 inside Coro::Handle.
164 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
165 speed reasons.
166 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
167 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
168 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
169 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
170 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
171 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
172 under some circumstances.
173 - other bugfixes.
174
175 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
176 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
177 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
178 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
179 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
180 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
181 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
182 syntax.
183 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
184 - new simple priority system.
185 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
186 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
187
188 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
189 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
190 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
191 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
192 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
193 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
194 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
195 "Callback called exit" messages).
196 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
197 - much better Coro::Socket support.
198
199 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
200 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
201 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
202 should work well in practise ;)
203 - added Coro::RWLock.
204 - Coro::Specific now works.
205
206 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
207 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
208 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
209 - new module Coro::Socket.
210
211 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
212 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
213 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
214 for yield.
215 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
216 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
217 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
218 perl-5.6.
219 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
220 - the idle process is now overriden
221 by default in Coro::Event.
222 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
223 - canceling events now works in all cases.
224 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
225 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
226 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
227 non-blocking i/o.
228 - performance tuning.
229
230 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
231 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
232 - add Coro::State::flush function.
233 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
234 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
235 - continuations have a saner syntax.
236 - no more memleaks.
237
238 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
239 - release candidate 1 ;)
240 - slightly nicer code.
241 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
242
243 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
244 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
245 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
246 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
247 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
248 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
249 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
250
251 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
252 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
253 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
254
255 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
256 - @_ is now properly localized.
257 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
258 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
259 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
260 coroutine-specific vars.
261 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
262
263 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
264 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
265 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
266 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
267 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
268 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
269 model. Still crude and subject to change.
270 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
271
272 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
273 - implemented "async" attribute.
274 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
275 - added Coro::Channel.
276 - more testcases, still no docs.
277
278 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
279 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
280
