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 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
14
15 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
16 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
17 and Coro::Handle.
18
19 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
20 - fix a spurious memory read.
21 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
22
23 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
24 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
25 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
26 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
27 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
28 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
29 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
30 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
31 directly supported by Coro.
32 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
33 stuff in Coro::Util.
34 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
35 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
36 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
37
38 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
39 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
40 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
41 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
42 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
43 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
44 This also catches recursive invocations.
45 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
46
47 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
48 - port to threaded perls.
49
50 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
51 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
52 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
53 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
54 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
55 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
56 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
57 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
58 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
59 speeds up context switching a bit.
60 - further tune default stack sizes.
61 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
62 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
63 resulting in races between coroutines.
64 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
65 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
66 an unrelated coroutine.
67 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
68 more detail in Coro::State.
69 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
70 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
71 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
72 invalidating pointers.
73
74 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
75 - added Coro::throw method.
76 - minor code cleanups.
77
78 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
79 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
80 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
81 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
82 or use tracing).
83 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
84 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
85 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
86
87 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
88 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
89 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
90
91 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
92 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
93 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
94 debugging, tracing and much more.
95 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
96 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
97 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
98 flags.
99 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
100 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
101 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
102 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
103 - added Coro::killall.
104 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
105 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
106 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
107 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
108 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
109 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
110 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
111 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
112 - many minor tweaks.
113
114 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
115 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
116
117 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
118 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
119 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
120
121 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
122 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
123 pst's sometimes.
124 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
125 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
126 be threadsafe...).
127 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
128 but stateful semantics.
129 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
130 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
131
132 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
133 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
134 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
135 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
136 (EXPERIMENTAL).
137 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
138 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
139 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
140 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
141
142 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
143 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
144 it by default.
145 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
146 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
147 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
148 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
149 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
150 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
151 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
152 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
153 performance.
154
155 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
156 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
157 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
158
159 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
160 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
161 them without asking.
162
163 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
164 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
165 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
166 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
167 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
168 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
169 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
170
171 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
172 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
173 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
174 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
175 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
176 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
177 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
178 obsolete platforms.
179
180 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
181 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
182 but was rather flaky in practise.
183 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
184 it was reused.
185 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
186 in cede_notself.
187
188 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
189 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
190 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
191 documented and - hopefully - improved.
192 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
193 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
194 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
195 that could errronously trigger.
196 - fix various large and small memleaks.
197 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
198 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
199 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
200 - added Coro::guard function.
201 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
202 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
203 and 128k coros with async_pool).
204 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
205
206 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
207 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
208 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
209 - simplify configuration for users.
210 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
211 their coro replacements.
212
213 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
214 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
215 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
216 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
217 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
218 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
219 - save/restore tainted status.
220 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
221
222 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
223 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
224 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
225 - give a better error message on deadlock.
226 - document Coro::nready.
227 - enhanced testsuite.
228
229 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
230 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
231
232 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
233 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
234 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
235 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
236 pool (size currently hardcoded).
237 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
238 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
239 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
240 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
241 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
242 check for changed watchers.
243 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
244 per event.
245 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
246 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
247 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
248 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
249 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
250 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
251 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
252 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
253 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
254 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
255 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
256 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
257 - updated to newest libcoro.
258 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
259 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
260 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
261 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
262 if somebody asks for it :)
263 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
264 spuriously without the event having happened.
265
266 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
267 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
268 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
269 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
270 make LWP non-blocking.
271 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
272 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
273 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
274 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
275 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
276 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
277 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
278 by LWP(!!).
279 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
280 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
281 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
282 did already.
283
284 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
285 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
286 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
287 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
288 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
289 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
290 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
291 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
292 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
293
294 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
295 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
296
297 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
298
299 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
300 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
301 mark & sweep gc run.
302 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
303
304 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
305 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
306 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
307
308 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
309 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
310 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
311 wrong package.
312 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
313 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
314 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
315 normally uses.
316 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
317
318 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
319 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
320
321 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
322 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
323 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
324 - strict'ify some modules.
325 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
326 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
327 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
328
329 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
330 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
331 when 'l'inux method was used.
332
333 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
334 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
335
336 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
337 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
338 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
339 Coro::State::flush method.
340 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
341
342 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
343 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
344 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
345 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
346 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
347 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
348
349 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
350 - change of contact address.
351
352 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
353 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
354 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
355
356 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
357 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
358 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
359 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
360
361 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
362 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
363
364 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
365 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
366 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
367 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
368 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
369 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
370 fixable).
371 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
372
373 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
374 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
375 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
376 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
377 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
378 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
379 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
380 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
381 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
382 - fix for threaded perl.
383
384 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
385 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
386 memory leaks.
387 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
388 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
389 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
390
391 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
392 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
393 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
394
395 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
396 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
397 of new features.
398 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
399 Highly correct stuff, that is...
400 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
401 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
402
403 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
404 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
405 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
406 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
407 so preselect it.
408
409 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
410 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
411 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
412
413 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
414 - added a README.linux-glibc.
415 - new module Coro::Select.
416 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
417 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
418 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
419
420 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
421 - made lazy context switching the default.
422 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
423 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
424 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
425 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
426
427 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
428 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
429 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
430 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
431 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
432 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
433 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
434
435 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
436 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
437 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
438 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
439
440 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
441 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
442 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
443 without Event, which freezes).
444
445 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
446 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
447
448 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
449 - some tests for Event.
450 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
451 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
452 new ones.
453 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
454 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
455
456 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
457 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
458 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
459 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
460
461 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
462 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
463 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
464 error.
465 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
466 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
467 - implemented terminate with args + join.
468
469 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
470 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
471 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
472 in various modules.
473 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
474 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
475
476 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
477 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
478 inside Coro::Handle.
479 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
480 speed reasons.
481 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
482 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
483 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
484 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
485 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

487 under some circumstances.
488 - other bugfixes.
489
490 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001

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

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