1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4 TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7
8 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
9 - fix a spurious memory read.
10 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
11
12 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
13 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
14 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
15 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
16 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
17 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
18 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
19 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
20 directly supported by Coro.
21 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
22 stuff in Coro::Util.
23 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
24 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
25 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
26
27 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
28 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
29 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
30 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
31 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
32 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
33 This also catches recursive invocations.
34 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
35
36 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
37 - port to threaded perls.
38
39 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
40 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
41 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
42 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
43 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
44 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
45 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
46 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
47 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
48 speeds up context switching a bit.
49 - further tune default stack sizes.
50 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
51 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
52 resulting in races between coroutines.
53 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
54 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
55 an unrelated coroutine.
56 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
57 more detail in Coro::State.
58 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
59 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
60 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
61 invalidating pointers.
62
63 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
64 - added Coro::throw method.
65 - minor code cleanups.
66
67 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
68 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
69 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
70 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
71 or use tracing).
72 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
73 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
74 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
75
76 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
77 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
78 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
79
80 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
81 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
82 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
83 debugging, tracing and much more.
84 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
85 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
86 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
87 flags.
88 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
89 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
90 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
91 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
92 - added Coro::killall.
93 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
94 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
95 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
96 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
97 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
98 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
99 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
100 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
101 - many minor tweaks.
102
103 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
104 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
105
106 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
107 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
108 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
109
110 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
111 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
112 pst's sometimes.
113 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
114 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
115 be threadsafe...).
116 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
117 but stateful semantics.
118 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
119 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
120
121 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
122 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
123 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
124 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
125 (EXPERIMENTAL).
126 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
127 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
128 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
129 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
130
131 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
132 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
133 it by default.
134 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
135 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
136 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
137 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
138 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
139 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
140 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
141 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
142 performance.
143
144 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
145 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
146 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
147
148 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
149 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
150 them without asking.
151
152 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
153 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
154 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
155 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
156 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
157 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
158 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
159
160 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
161 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
162 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
163 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
164 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
165 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
166 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
167 obsolete platforms.
168
169 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
170 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
171 but was rather flaky in practise.
172 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
173 it was reused.
174 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
175 in cede_notself.
176
177 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
178 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
179 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
180 documented and - hopefully - improved.
181 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
182 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
183 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
184 that could errronously trigger.
185 - fix various large and small memleaks.
186 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
187 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
188 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
189 - added Coro::guard function.
190 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
191 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
192 and 128k coros with async_pool).
193 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
194
195 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
196 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
197 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
198 - simplify configuration for users.
199 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
200 their coro replacements.
201
202 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
203 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
204 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
205 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
206 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
207 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
208 - save/restore tainted status.
209 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
210
211 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
212 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
213 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
214 - give a better error message on deadlock.
215 - document Coro::nready.
216 - enhanced testsuite.
217
218 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
219 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
220
221 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
222 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
223 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
224 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
225 pool (size currently hardcoded).
226 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
227 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
228 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
229 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
230 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
231 check for changed watchers.
232 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
233 per event.
234 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
235 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
236 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
237 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
238 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
239 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
240 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
241 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
242 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
243 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
244 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
245 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
246 - updated to newest libcoro.
247 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
248 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
249 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
250 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
251 if somebody asks for it :)
252 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
253 spuriously without the event having happened.
254
255 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
256 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
257 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
258 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
259 make LWP non-blocking.
260 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
261 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
262 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
263 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
264 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
265 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
266 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
267 by LWP(!!).
268 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
269 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
270 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
271 did already.
272
273 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
274 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
275 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
276 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
277 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
278 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
279 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
280 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
281 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
282
283 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
284 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
285
286 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
287
288 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
289 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
290 mark & sweep gc run.
291 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
292
293 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
294 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
295 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
296
297 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
298 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
299 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
300 wrong package.
301 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
302 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
303 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
304 normally uses.
305 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
306
307 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
308 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
309
310 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
311 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
312 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
313 - strict'ify some modules.
314 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
315 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
316 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
317
318 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
319 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
320 when 'l'inux method was used.
321
322 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
323 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
324
325 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
326 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
327 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
328 Coro::State::flush method.
329 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
330
331 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
332 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
333 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
334 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
335 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
336 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
337
338 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
339 - change of contact address.
340
341 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
342 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
343 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
344
345 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
346 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
347 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
348 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
349
350 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
351 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
352
353 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
354 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
355 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
356 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
357 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
358 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
359 fixable).
360 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
361
362 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
363 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
364 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
365 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
366 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
367 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
368 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
369 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
370 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
371 - fix for threaded perl.
372
373 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
374 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
375 memory leaks.
376 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
377 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
378 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
379
380 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
381 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
382 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
383
384 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
385 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
386 of new features.
387 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
388 Highly correct stuff, that is...
389 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
390 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
391
392 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
393 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
394 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
395 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
396 so preselect it.
397
398 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
399 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
400 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
401
402 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
403 - added a README.linux-glibc.
404 - new module Coro::Select.
405 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
406 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
407 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
408
409 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
410 - made lazy context switching the default.
411 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
412 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
413 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
414 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
415
416 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
417 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
418 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
419 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
420 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
421 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
422 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
423
424 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
425 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
426 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
427 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
428
429 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
430 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
431 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
432 without Event, which freezes).
433
434 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
435 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
436
437 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
438 - some tests for Event.
439 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
440 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
441 new ones.
442 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
443 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
444
445 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
446 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
447 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
448 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
449
450 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
451 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
452 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
453 error.
454 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
455 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
456 - implemented terminate with args + join.
457
458 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
459 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
460 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
461 in various modules.
462 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
463 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
464
465 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001

467 inside Coro::Handle.
468 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
469 speed reasons.
470 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
471 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
472 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
473 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.

478
479 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001

490 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
491
492 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
493 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
494 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
495 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
496 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
497 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
498 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
499 "Callback called exit" messages).
500 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
501 - much better Coro::Socket support.
502
503 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
504 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
505 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
506 should work well in practise ;)
507 - added Coro::RWLock.
508 - Coro::Specific now works.
509
510 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
511 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
512 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
513 - new module Coro::Socket.
514
515 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
516 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
517 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
518 for yield.
519 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
520 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
521 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
522 perl-5.6.
523 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
524 - the idle process is now overriden
525 by default in Coro::Event.
526 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
527 - canceling events now works in all cases.
528 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
529 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
530 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
531 non-blocking i/o.
532 - performance tuning.
533
534 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
535 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
536 - add Coro::State::flush function.
537 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
538 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
539 - continuations have a saner syntax.
540 - no more memleaks.
541
542 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
543 - release candidate 1 ;)
544 - slightly nicer code.
545 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
546
547 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
548 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
549 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
550 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
551 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
552 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
553 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
554
555 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
556 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
557 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
558
559 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
560 - @_ is now properly localized.
561 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
562 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
563 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
564 coroutine-specific vars.
565 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
566
567 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
568 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
569 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
570 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
571 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
572 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
573 model. Still crude and subject to change.
574 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
575
576 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
577 - implemented "async" attribute.
578 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
579 - added Coro::Channel.
580 - more testcases, still no docs.

583 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
