3 0.5
4 - small tweaks.
5
6 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
7 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
8 inside Coro::Handle.
9 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
10 speed reasons.
11 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
12 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
13 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
14 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
15 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
16 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
17 under some circumstances.
18 - other bugfixes.
19
20 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
21 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
22 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
23 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
24 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
25 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
26 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
27 syntax.
28 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
29 - new simple priority system.
30 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
31 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
32
33 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
34 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
35 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
36 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
37 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
38 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
39 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
40 "Callback called exit" messages).
41 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
42 - much better Coro::Socket support.
43
44 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
45 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
46 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
47 should work well in practise ;)
48 - added Coro::RWLock.
49 - Coro::Specific now works.
50
51 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
52 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
53 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
54 - new module Coro::Socket.
55
56 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
57 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
58 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
59 for yield.
60 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
61 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
62 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
63 perl-5.6.
64 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
65 - the idle process is now overriden
66 by default in Coro::Event.
67 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
68 - canceling events now works in all cases.
69 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
70 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
71 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
72 non-blocking i/o.
73 - performance tuning.
74
75 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
76 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
77 - add Coro::State::flush function.
78 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
79 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
80 - continuations have a saner syntax.
81 - no more memleaks.
82
83 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
84 - release candidate 1 ;)
85 - slightly nicer code.
86 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
87
88 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
89 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
90 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
91 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
92 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
93 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
94 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
95
96 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
97 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
98 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
99
100 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
101 - @_ is now properly localized.
102 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
103 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
104 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
105 coroutine-specific vars.
106 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
107
108 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
109 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
110 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
111 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
112 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
113 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
114 model. Still crude and subject to change.
115 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
116
117 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
118 - implemented "async" attribute.
119 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
120 - added Coro::Channel.
121 - more testcases, still no docs.
122
123 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
124 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
