1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X.
4 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust
5 way to clone padlists (uses less memory and
6 a perl function instead of our own).
7
8 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
9 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
10
11 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
12
13 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
14 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
15 mark & sweep gc run.
16 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
17
18 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
19 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
20 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
21
22 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
23 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
24 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
25 wrong package.
26 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
27 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
28 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
29 normally uses.
30 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
31
32 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
33 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
34
35 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
36 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
37 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
38 - strict'ify some modules.
39 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
40 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
41 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
42
43 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
44 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
45 when 'l'inux method was used.
46
47 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
48 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
49
50 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
51 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
52 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
53 Coro::State::flush method.
54 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
55
56 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
57 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
58 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
59 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
60 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
61 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
62
63 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
64 - change of contact address.
65
66 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
67 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
68 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
69
70 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
71 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
72 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
73 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
74
75 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
76 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
77
78 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
79 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
80 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
81 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
82 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
83 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
84 fixable).
85 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
86
87 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
88 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
89 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
90 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
91 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
92 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
93 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
94 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
95 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
96 - fix for threaded perl.
97
98 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
99 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
100 memory leaks.
101 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
102 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
103 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
104
105 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
106 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
107 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
108
109 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
110 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
111 of new features.
112 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
113 Highly correct stuff, that is...
114 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
115 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
116
117 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
118 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
119 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
120 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
121 so preselect it.
122
123 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
124 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
125 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
126
127 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
128 - added a README.linux-glibc.
129 - new module Coro::Select.
130 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
131 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
132 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
133
134 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
135 - made lazy context switching the default.
136 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
137 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
138 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
139 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
140
141 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
142 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
143 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
144 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
145 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
146 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
147 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
148
149 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
150 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
151 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
152 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
153
154 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
155 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
156 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
157 without Event, which freezes).
158
159 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
160 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
161
162 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
163 - some tests for Event.
164 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
165 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
166 new ones.
167 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
168 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
169
170 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
171 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
172 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
173 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
174
175 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
176 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
177 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
178 error.
179 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
180 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
181 - implemented terminate with args + join.
182
183 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
184 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
185 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
186 in various modules.
187 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
188 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
189
190 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
191 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
192 inside Coro::Handle.
193 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
194 speed reasons.
195 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
196 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
197 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
198 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
199 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
200 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
201 under some circumstances.
202 - other bugfixes.
203
204 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
205 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
206 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
207 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
208 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
209 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
210 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
211 syntax.
212 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
213 - new simple priority system.
214 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
215 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
216
217 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
218 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
219 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
220 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
221 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
222 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
223 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
224 "Callback called exit" messages).
225 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
226 - much better Coro::Socket support.
227
228 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
229 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
230 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
231 should work well in practise ;)
232 - added Coro::RWLock.
233 - Coro::Specific now works.
234
235 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
236 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
237 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
238 - new module Coro::Socket.
239
240 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
241 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
242 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
243 for yield.
244 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
245 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
246 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
247 perl-5.6.
248 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
249 - the idle process is now overriden
250 by default in Coro::Event.
251 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
252 - canceling events now works in all cases.
253 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
254 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
255 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
256 non-blocking i/o.
257 - performance tuning.
258
259 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
260 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
261 - add Coro::State::flush function.
262 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
263 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
264 - continuations have a saner syntax.
265 - no more memleaks.
266
267 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
268 - release candidate 1 ;)
269 - slightly nicer code.
270 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
271
272 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
273 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
274 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
275 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
276 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
277 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
278 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
279
280 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
281 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
282 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
283
284 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
285 - @_ is now properly localized.
286 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
287 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
288 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
289 coroutine-specific vars.
290 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
291
292 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
293 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
294 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
295 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
296 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
297 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
298 model. Still crude and subject to change.
299 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
300
301 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
302 - implemented "async" attribute.
303 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
304 - added Coro::Channel.
305 - more testcases, still no docs.
306
307 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
308 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
309
