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 4.32
9 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
10 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
11
12 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
13 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
14
15 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
16 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
17 when the stack changed.
18 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
19 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
20 if available.
21 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
22 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
23 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
24
25 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
26 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
27 and Coro::Handle.
28
29 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
30 - fix a spurious memory read.
31 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
32
33 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
34 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
35 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
36 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
37 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
38 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
39 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
40 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
41 directly supported by Coro.
42 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
43 stuff in Coro::Util.
44 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
45 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
46 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
47
48 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
49 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
50 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
51 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
52 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
53 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
54 This also catches recursive invocations.
55 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
56
57 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
58 - port to threaded perls.
59
60 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
61 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
62 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
63 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
64 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
65 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
66 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
67 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
68 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
69 speeds up context switching a bit.
70 - further tune default stack sizes.
71 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
72 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
73 resulting in races between coroutines.
74 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
75 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
76 an unrelated coroutine.
77 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
78 more detail in Coro::State.
79 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
80 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
81 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
82 invalidating pointers.
83
84 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
85 - added Coro::throw method.
86 - minor code cleanups.
87
88 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
89 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
90 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
91 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
92 or use tracing).
93 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
94 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
95 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
96
97 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
98 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
99 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
100
101 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
102 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
103 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
104 debugging, tracing and much more.
105 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
106 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
107 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
108 flags.
109 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
110 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
111 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
112 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
113 - added Coro::killall.
114 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
115 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
116 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
117 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
118 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
119 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
120 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
121 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
122 - many minor tweaks.
123
124 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
125 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
126
127 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
128 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
129 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
130
131 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
132 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
133 pst's sometimes.
134 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
135 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
136 be threadsafe...).
137 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
138 but stateful semantics.
139 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
140 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
141
142 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
143 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
144 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
145 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
146 (EXPERIMENTAL).
147 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
148 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
149 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
150 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
151
152 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
153 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
154 it by default.
155 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
156 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
157 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
158 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
159 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
160 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
161 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
162 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
163 performance.
164
165 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
166 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
167 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
168
169 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
170 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
171 them without asking.
172
173 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
174 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
175 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
176 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
177 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
178 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
179 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
180
181 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
182 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
183 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
184 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
185 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
186 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
187 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
188 obsolete platforms.
189
190 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
191 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
192 but was rather flaky in practise.
193 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
194 it was reused.
195 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
196 in cede_notself.
197
198 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
199 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
200 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
201 documented and - hopefully - improved.
202 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
203 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
204 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
205 that could errronously trigger.
206 - fix various large and small memleaks.
207 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
208 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
209 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
210 - added Coro::guard function.
211 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
212 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
213 and 128k coros with async_pool).
214 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
215
216 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
217 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
218 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
219 - simplify configuration for users.
220 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
221 their coro replacements.
222
223 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
224 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
225 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
226 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
227 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
228 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
229 - save/restore tainted status.
230 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
231
232 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
233 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
234 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
235 - give a better error message on deadlock.
236 - document Coro::nready.
237 - enhanced testsuite.
238
239 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
240 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
241
242 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
243 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
244 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
245 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
246 pool (size currently hardcoded).
247 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
248 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
249 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
250 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
251 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
252 check for changed watchers.
253 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
254 per event.
255 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
256 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
257 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
258 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
259 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
260 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
261 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
262 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
263 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
264 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
265 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
266 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
267 - updated to newest libcoro.
268 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
269 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
270 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
271 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
272 if somebody asks for it :)
273 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
274 spuriously without the event having happened.
275
276 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
277 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
278 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
279 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
280 make LWP non-blocking.
281 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
282 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
283 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
284 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
285 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
286 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
287 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
288 by LWP(!!).
289 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
290 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
291 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
292 did already.
293
294 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
295 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
296 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
297 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
298 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
299 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
300 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
301 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
302 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
303
304 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
305 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
306
307 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
308
309 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
310 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
311 mark & sweep gc run.
312 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
313
314 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
315 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
316 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
317
318 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
319 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
320 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
321 wrong package.
322 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
323 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
324 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
325 normally uses.
326 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
327
328 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
329 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
330
331 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
332 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
333 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
334 - strict'ify some modules.
335 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
336 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
337 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
338
339 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
340 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
341 when 'l'inux method was used.
342
343 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
344 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
345
346 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
347 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
348 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
349 Coro::State::flush method.
350 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
351
352 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
353 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
354 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
355 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
356 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
357 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
358
359 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
360 - change of contact address.
361
362 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
363 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
364 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
365
366 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
367 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
368 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
369 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
370
371 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
372 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
373
374 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
375 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
376 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
377 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
378 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
379 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
380 fixable).
381 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
382
383 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
384 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
385 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
386 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
387 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
388 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
389 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
390 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
391 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
392 - fix for threaded perl.
393
394 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
395 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
396 memory leaks.
397 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
398 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
399 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
400
401 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
402 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
403 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
404
405 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
406 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
407 of new features.
408 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
409 Highly correct stuff, that is...
410 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
411 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
412
413 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
414 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
415 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
416 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
417 so preselect it.
418
419 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
420 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
421 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
422
423 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
424 - added a README.linux-glibc.
425 - new module Coro::Select.
426 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
427 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
428 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
429
430 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
431 - made lazy context switching the default.
432 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
433 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
434 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
435 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
436
437 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
438 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
439 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
440 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
441 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
442 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
443 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
444
445 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
446 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
447 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
448 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
449
450 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
451 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
452 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
453 without Event, which freezes).
454
455 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
456 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
457
458 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
459 - some tests for Event.
460 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
461 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
462 new ones.
463 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).

470
471 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
472 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
473 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
474 error.
475 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
476 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
477 - implemented terminate with args + join.
478
479 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
480 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
481 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
482 in various modules.
483 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
484 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
485
486 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
487 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
488 inside Coro::Handle.
489 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
490 speed reasons.
491 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
492 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
493 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
494 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
495 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
496 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
497 under some circumstances.
498 - other bugfixes.
499
500 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001

503 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
504 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
505 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.

507 syntax.
508 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
509 - new simple priority system.
510 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
511 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
512
513 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
514 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
515 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
516 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
517 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
518 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
519 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
520 "Callback called exit" messages).
521 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
522 - much better Coro::Socket support.
523
524 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
525 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
526 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
527 should work well in practise ;)
528 - added Coro::RWLock.
529 - Coro::Specific now works.
530
531 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
532 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
533 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
534 - new module Coro::Socket.
535
536 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
537 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
538 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
539 for yield.
540 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
541 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
542 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
543 perl-5.6.
544 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
545 - the idle process is now overriden
546 by default in Coro::Event.
547 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
548 - canceling events now works in all cases.
549 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
550 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
551 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
552 non-blocking i/o.
553 - performance tuning.
554
555 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
556 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
557 - add Coro::State::flush function.
558 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
559 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
560 - continuations have a saner syntax.
561 - no more memleaks.
562
563 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
564 - release candidate 1 ;)
565 - slightly nicer code.
566 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
567
568 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
569 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
570 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
571 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
572 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
573 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
574 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
575
576 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
577 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
578 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
579
580 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
581 - @_ is now properly localized.
582 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
583 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
584 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
585 coroutine-specific vars.
586 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
587
588 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
589 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
590 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
591 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
592 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
593 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
594 model. Still crude and subject to change.
595 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
596
597 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
598 - implemented "async" attribute.
599 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
600 - added Coro::Channel.
601 - more testcases, still no docs.

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