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