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

468 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
469 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
470 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
471 in various modules.
472 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
473 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
474
475 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
476 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
477 inside Coro::Handle.
478 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
479 speed reasons.
480 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
481 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
482 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
483 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
484 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

486 under some circumstances.
487 - other bugfixes.
488
489 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001

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