1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.

3 0.49
4 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
5 inside Coro::Handle.
6 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
7 speed reasons.
8 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
9 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
10 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
11 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
12 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
13 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
14 under some circumstances.
15 - other bugfixes.
16
17 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
18 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
19 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
20 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
21 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
22 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
23 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
24 syntax.
25 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
26 - new simple priority system.
27 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
28 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
29
30 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
32 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
33 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
34 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
35 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
36 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
37 "Callback called exit" messages).
38 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
39 - much better Coro::Socket support.
40
41 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
42 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
43 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
44 should work well in practise ;)
45 - added Coro::RWLock.
46 - Coro::Specific now works.
47
48 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
49 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
50 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
51 - new module Coro::Socket.
52
53 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
54 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
55 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
56 for yield.
57 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
58 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
59 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
60 perl-5.6.
61 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
62 - the idle process is now overriden
63 by default in Coro::Event.
64 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
65 - canceling events now works in all cases.
66 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
67 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
68 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
69 non-blocking i/o.
70 - performance tuning.
71
72 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
73 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
74 - add Coro::State::flush function.
75 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
76 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
77 - continuations have a saner syntax.
78 - no more memleaks.
79
80 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
81 - release candidate 1 ;)
82 - slightly nicer code.
83 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
84
85 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
86 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
87 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
88 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
89 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
90 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
91 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
92
93 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
94 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
95 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
96
97 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
98 - @_ is now properly localized.
99 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
100 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
101 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
102 coroutine-specific vars.
103 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
104
105 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
106 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
107 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
108 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
109 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
110 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
111 model. Still crude and subject to change.
112 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
113
114 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
115 - implemented "async" attribute.
116 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
117 - added Coro::Channel.
118 - more testcases, still no docs.
119
120 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
121 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
