1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.

3 0.5
4 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
5 in various modules.
6 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
7
8 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
9 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
10 inside Coro::Handle.
11 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
12 speed reasons.
13 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
14 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
15 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
16 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
17 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
18 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
19 under some circumstances.
20 - other bugfixes.
21
22 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
23 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
24 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
25 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
26 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
27 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
28 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
29 syntax.
30 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
31 - new simple priority system.
32 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
33 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
34
35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
36 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
37 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
38 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
39 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
40 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
41 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
42 "Callback called exit" messages).
43 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
44 - much better Coro::Socket support.
45
46 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
47 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
48 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
49 should work well in practise ;)
50 - added Coro::RWLock.
51 - Coro::Specific now works.
52
53 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
54 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
55 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
56 - new module Coro::Socket.
57
58 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
59 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
60 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
61 for yield.
62 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
63 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
64 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
65 perl-5.6.
66 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
67 - the idle process is now overriden
68 by default in Coro::Event.
69 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
70 - canceling events now works in all cases.
71 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
72 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
73 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
74 non-blocking i/o.
75 - performance tuning.
76
77 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
78 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
79 - add Coro::State::flush function.
80 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
81 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
82 - continuations have a saner syntax.
83 - no more memleaks.
84
85 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
86 - release candidate 1 ;)
87 - slightly nicer code.
88 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
89
90 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
91 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
92 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
93 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
94 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
95 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
96 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
97
98 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
99 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
100 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
101
102 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
103 - @_ is now properly localized.
104 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
105 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
106 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
107 coroutine-specific vars.
108 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
109
110 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
111 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
112 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
113 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
114 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
115 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
116 model. Still crude and subject to change.
117 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
118
119 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
120 - implemented "async" attribute.
121 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
122 - added Coro::Channel.
123 - more testcases, still no docs.
124
125 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
126 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
