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 4.22
9 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
10 and Coro::Handle.
11
12 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
13 - fix a spurious memory read.
14 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
15
16 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
17 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
18 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
19 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
20 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
21 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
22 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
23 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
24 directly supported by Coro.
25 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
26 stuff in Coro::Util.
27 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
28 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
29 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
30
31 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
32 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
33 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
34 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
35 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
36 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
37 This also catches recursive invocations.
38 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
39
40 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
41 - port to threaded perls.
42
43 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
44 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
45 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
46 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
47 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
48 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
49 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
50 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
51 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
52 speeds up context switching a bit.
53 - further tune default stack sizes.
54 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
55 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
56 resulting in races between coroutines.
57 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
58 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
59 an unrelated coroutine.
60 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
61 more detail in Coro::State.
62 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
63 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
64 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
65 invalidating pointers.
66
67 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
68 - added Coro::throw method.
69 - minor code cleanups.
70
71 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
72 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
73 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
74 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
75 or use tracing).
76 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
77 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
78 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
79
80 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
81 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
82 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
83
84 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
85 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
86 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
87 debugging, tracing and much more.
88 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
89 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
90 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
91 flags.
92 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
93 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
94 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
95 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
96 - added Coro::killall.
97 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
98 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
99 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
100 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
101 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
102 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
103 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
104 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
105 - many minor tweaks.
106
107 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
108 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
109
110 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
111 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
112 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
113
114 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
115 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
116 pst's sometimes.
117 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
118 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
119 be threadsafe...).
120 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
121 but stateful semantics.
122 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
123 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
124
125 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
126 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
127 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
128 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
129 (EXPERIMENTAL).
130 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
131 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
132 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
133 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
134
135 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
136 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
137 it by default.
138 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
139 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
140 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
141 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
142 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
143 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
144 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
145 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
146 performance.
147
148 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
149 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
150 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
151
152 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
153 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
154 them without asking.
155
156 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
157 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
158 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
159 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
160 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
161 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
162 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
163
164 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
165 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
166 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
167 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
168 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
169 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
170 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
171 obsolete platforms.
172
173 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
174 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
175 but was rather flaky in practise.
176 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
177 it was reused.
178 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
179 in cede_notself.
180
181 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
182 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
183 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
184 documented and - hopefully - improved.
185 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
186 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
187 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
188 that could errronously trigger.
189 - fix various large and small memleaks.
190 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
191 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
192 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
193 - added Coro::guard function.
194 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
195 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
196 and 128k coros with async_pool).
197 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
198
199 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
200 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
201 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
202 - simplify configuration for users.
203 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
204 their coro replacements.
205
206 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
207 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
208 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
209 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
210 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
211 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
212 - save/restore tainted status.
213 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
214
215 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
216 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
217 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
218 - give a better error message on deadlock.
219 - document Coro::nready.
220 - enhanced testsuite.
221
222 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
223 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
224
225 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
226 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
227 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
228 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
229 pool (size currently hardcoded).
230 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
231 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
232 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
233 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
234 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
235 check for changed watchers.
236 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
237 per event.
238 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
239 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
240 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
241 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
242 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
243 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
244 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
245 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
246 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
247 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
248 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
249 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
250 - updated to newest libcoro.
251 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
252 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
253 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
254 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
255 if somebody asks for it :)
256 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
257 spuriously without the event having happened.
258
259 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
260 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
261 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
262 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
263 make LWP non-blocking.
264 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
265 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
266 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
267 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
268 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
269 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
270 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
271 by LWP(!!).
272 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
273 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
274 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
275 did already.
276
277 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
278 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
279 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
280 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
281 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
282 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
283 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
284 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
285 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
286
287 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
288 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
289
290 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
291
292 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
293 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
294 mark & sweep gc run.
295 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
296
297 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
298 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
299 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
300
301 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
302 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
303 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
304 wrong package.
305 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
306 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
307 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
308 normally uses.
309 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
310
311 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
312 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
313
314 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
315 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
316 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
317 - strict'ify some modules.
318 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
319 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
320 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
321
322 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
323 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
324 when 'l'inux method was used.
325
326 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
327 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
328
329 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
330 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
331 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
332 Coro::State::flush method.
333 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
334
335 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
336 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
337 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
338 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
339 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
340 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
341
342 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
343 - change of contact address.
344
345 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
346 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
347 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
348
349 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
350 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
351 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
352 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
353
354 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
355 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
356
357 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
358 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
359 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
360 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
361 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
362 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
363 fixable).
364 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
365
366 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
367 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
368 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
369 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
370 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
371 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
372 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
373 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
374 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
375 - fix for threaded perl.
376
377 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
378 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
379 memory leaks.
380 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
381 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
382 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
383
384 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
385 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
386 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
387
388 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
389 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
390 of new features.
391 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
392 Highly correct stuff, that is...
393 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
394 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
395
396 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
397 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
398 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
399 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
400 so preselect it.
401
402 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
403 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
404 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
405
406 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
407 - added a README.linux-glibc.
408 - new module Coro::Select.
409 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
410 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
411 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
412
413 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
414 - made lazy context switching the default.
415 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
416 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
417 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
418 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
419
420 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
421 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
422 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
423 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
424 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
425 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
426 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
427
428 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
429 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
430 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
431 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
432
433 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
434 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
435 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
436 without Event, which freezes).
437
438 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
439 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
440
441 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
442 - some tests for Event.
443 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
444 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
445 new ones.
446 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
447 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
448
449 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
450 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
451 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
452 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
453
454 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
455 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
456 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
457 error.
458 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
459 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
460 - implemented terminate with args + join.
461
462 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
463 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
464 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
465 in various modules.
466 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
467 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
468
469 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001

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

495
496 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
497 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
498 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
499 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
500 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
501 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
502 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
503 "Callback called exit" messages).
504 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
505 - much better Coro::Socket support.
506
507 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
508 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
509 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
510 should work well in practise ;)
511 - added Coro::RWLock.
512 - Coro::Specific now works.
513
514 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
515 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
516 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
517 - new module Coro::Socket.
518
519 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
520 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
521 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
522 for yield.
523 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
524 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
525 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
526 perl-5.6.
527 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
528 - the idle process is now overriden
529 by default in Coro::Event.
530 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
531 - canceling events now works in all cases.
532 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
533 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
534 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
535 non-blocking i/o.
536 - performance tuning.
537
538 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
539 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
540 - add Coro::State::flush function.
541 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
542 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
543 - continuations have a saner syntax.
544 - no more memleaks.
545
546 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
547 - release candidate 1 ;)
548 - slightly nicer code.
549 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
550
551 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
552 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
553 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
554 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
555 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
556 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
557 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
558
559 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
560 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
561 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
562
563 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
564 - @_ is now properly localized.
565 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
566 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
567 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
568 coroutine-specific vars.
569 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
570
571 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
572 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
573 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
574 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
575 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
576 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
577 model. Still crude and subject to change.
578 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
579
580 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
581 - implemented "async" attribute.
582 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
583 - added Coro::Channel.
584 - more testcases, still no docs.
585
