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

468 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
469 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
470 in various modules.
471 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
472 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
473
474 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
475 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
476 inside Coro::Handle.
477 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
478 speed reasons.
479 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
480 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
481 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
482 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
483 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

487
488 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001

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