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 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
9 from longmess.
10
11 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
12 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
13
14 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
15 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
16
17 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
18 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
19 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
20 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
21
22 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
23 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
24
25 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
26 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
27 when the stack changed.
28 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
29 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
30 if available.
31 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
32 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
33 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
34
35 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
36 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
37 and Coro::Handle.
38
39 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
40 - fix a spurious memory read.
41 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
42
43 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
44 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
45 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
46 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
47 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
48 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
49 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
50 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
51 directly supported by Coro.
52 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
53 stuff in Coro::Util.
54 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
55 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
56 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
57
58 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
59 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
60 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
61 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
62 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
63 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
64 This also catches recursive invocations.
65 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
66
67 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
68 - port to threaded perls.
69
70 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
71 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
72 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
73 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
74 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
75 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
76 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
77 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
78 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
79 speeds up context switching a bit.
80 - further tune default stack sizes.
81 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
82 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
83 resulting in races between coroutines.
84 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
85 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
86 an unrelated coroutine.
87 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
88 more detail in Coro::State.
89 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
90 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
91 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
92 invalidating pointers.
93
94 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
95 - added Coro::throw method.
96 - minor code cleanups.
97
98 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
99 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
100 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
101 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
102 or use tracing).
103 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
104 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
105 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
106
107 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
108 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
109 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
110
111 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
112 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
113 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
114 debugging, tracing and much more.
115 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
116 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
117 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
118 flags.
119 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
120 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
121 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
122 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
123 - added Coro::killall.
124 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
125 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
126 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
127 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
128 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
129 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
130 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
131 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
132 - many minor tweaks.
133
134 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
135 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
136
137 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
138 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
139 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
140
141 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
142 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
143 pst's sometimes.
144 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
145 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
146 be threadsafe...).
147 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
148 but stateful semantics.
149 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
150 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
151
152 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
153 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
154 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
155 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
156 (EXPERIMENTAL).
157 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
158 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
159 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
160 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
161
162 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
163 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
164 it by default.
165 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
166 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
167 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
168 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
169 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
170 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
171 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
172 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
173 performance.
174
175 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
176 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
177 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
178
179 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
180 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
181 them without asking.
182
183 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
184 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
185 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
186 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
187 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
188 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
189 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
190
191 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
192 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
193 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
194 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
195 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
196 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
197 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
198 obsolete platforms.
199
200 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
201 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
202 but was rather flaky in practise.
203 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
204 it was reused.
205 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
206 in cede_notself.
207
208 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
209 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
210 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
211 documented and - hopefully - improved.
212 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
213 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
214 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
215 that could errronously trigger.
216 - fix various large and small memleaks.
217 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
218 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
219 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
220 - added Coro::guard function.
221 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
222 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
223 and 128k coros with async_pool).
224 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
225
226 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
227 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
228 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
229 - simplify configuration for users.
230 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
231 their coro replacements.
232
233 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
234 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
235 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
236 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
237 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
238 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
239 - save/restore tainted status.
240 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
241
242 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
243 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
244 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
245 - give a better error message on deadlock.
246 - document Coro::nready.
247 - enhanced testsuite.
248
249 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
250 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
251
252 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
253 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
254 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
255 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
256 pool (size currently hardcoded).
257 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
258 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
259 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
260 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
261 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
262 check for changed watchers.
263 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
264 per event.
265 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
266 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
267 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
268 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
269 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
270 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
271 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
272 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
273 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
274 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
275 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
276 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
277 - updated to newest libcoro.
278 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
279 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
280 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
281 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
282 if somebody asks for it :)
283 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
284 spuriously without the event having happened.
285
286 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
287 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
288 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
289 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
290 make LWP non-blocking.
291 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
292 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
293 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
294 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
295 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
296 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
297 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
298 by LWP(!!).
299 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
300 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
301 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
302 did already.
303
304 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
305 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
306 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
307 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
308 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
309 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
310 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
311 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
312 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
313
314 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
315 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
316
317 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
318
319 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
320 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
321 mark & sweep gc run.
322 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
323
324 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
325 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
326 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
327
328 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
329 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
330 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
331 wrong package.
332 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
333 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
334 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
335 normally uses.
336 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
337
338 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
339 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
340
341 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
342 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
343 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
344 - strict'ify some modules.
345 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
346 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
347 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
348
349 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
350 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
351 when 'l'inux method was used.
352
353 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
354 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
355
356 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
357 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
358 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
359 Coro::State::flush method.
360 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
361
362 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
363 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
364 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
365 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
366 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
367 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
368
369 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
370 - change of contact address.
371
372 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
373 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
374 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
375
376 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
377 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
378 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
379 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
380
381 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
382 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
383
384 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
385 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
386 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
387 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
388 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
389 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
390 fixable).
391 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
392
393 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
394 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
395 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
396 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
397 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
398 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
399 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
400 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
401 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
402 - fix for threaded perl.
403
404 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
405 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
406 memory leaks.
407 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
408 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
409 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
410
411 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
412 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
413 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
414
415 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
416 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
417 of new features.
418 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
419 Highly correct stuff, that is...
420 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
421 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
422
423 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
424 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
425 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
426 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
427 so preselect it.
428
429 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
430 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
431 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
432
433 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
434 - added a README.linux-glibc.
435 - new module Coro::Select.
436 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
437 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
438 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
439
440 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
441 - made lazy context switching the default.
442 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
443 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
444 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
445 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
446
447 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
448 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
449 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
450 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
451 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
452 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
453 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
454
455 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
456 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
457 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
458 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
459
460 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
461 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
462 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
463 without Event, which freezes).

467
468 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
469 - some tests for Event.
470 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
471 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
472 new ones.
473 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
474 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
475
476 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
477 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
478 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.

480
481 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
482 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
483 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
484 error.
485 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
486 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
487 - implemented terminate with args + join.
488
489 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
490 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
491 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
492 in various modules.
493 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
494 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
495
496 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
497 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
498 inside Coro::Handle.
499 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
500 speed reasons.
501 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
502 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
503 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
504 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
505 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
506 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
507 under some circumstances.
508 - other bugfixes.
509
510 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001

517 syntax.
518 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
519 - new simple priority system.
520 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
521 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
522
523 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
524 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
525 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
526 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
527 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
528 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
529 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
530 "Callback called exit" messages).
531 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
532 - much better Coro::Socket support.
533
534 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
535 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
536 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
537 should work well in practise ;)
538 - added Coro::RWLock.
539 - Coro::Specific now works.
540
541 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
542 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
543 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
544 - new module Coro::Socket.
545
546 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
547 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
548 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
549 for yield.
550 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
551 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
552 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
553 perl-5.6.
554 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
555 - the idle process is now overriden
556 by default in Coro::Event.
557 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
558 - canceling events now works in all cases.
559 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
560 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
561 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
562 non-blocking i/o.
563 - performance tuning.
564
565 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
566 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
567 - add Coro::State::flush function.
568 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
569 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
570 - continuations have a saner syntax.
571 - no more memleaks.
572
573 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
574 - release candidate 1 ;)
575 - slightly nicer code.
576 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
577
578 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
579 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
580 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
581 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
582 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
583 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
584 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
585
586 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
587 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
588 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
589
590 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
591 - @_ is now properly localized.
592 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
593 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
594 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
595 coroutine-specific vars.
596 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
597
598 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
599 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
600 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
601 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
602 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
603 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
604 model. Still crude and subject to change.
605 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
606
607 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
608 - implemented "async" attribute.
609 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
