1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 0.5
4 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
5 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
6 in various modules.
7 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
8 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
9
10 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
11 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
12 inside Coro::Handle.
13 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
14 speed reasons.
15 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
16 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
17 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
18 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
19 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
20 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
21 under some circumstances.
22 - other bugfixes.
23
24 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
25 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
26 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
27 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
28 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
29 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
30 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
31 syntax.
32 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
33 - new simple priority system.
34 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
35 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
36
37 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
38 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
39 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
40 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
41 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
42 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
43 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
44 "Callback called exit" messages).
45 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
46 - much better Coro::Socket support.
47
48 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
49 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
50 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
51 should work well in practise ;)
52 - added Coro::RWLock.
53 - Coro::Specific now works.
54
55 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
56 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
57 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
58 - new module Coro::Socket.
59
60 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
61 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
62 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
63 for yield.
64 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
65 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
66 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
67 perl-5.6.
68 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
69 - the idle process is now overriden
70 by default in Coro::Event.
71 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
72 - canceling events now works in all cases.
73 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
74 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
75 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
76 non-blocking i/o.
77 - performance tuning.
78
79 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
80 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
81 - add Coro::State::flush function.
82 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
83 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
84 - continuations have a saner syntax.
85 - no more memleaks.
86
87 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
88 - release candidate 1 ;)
89 - slightly nicer code.
90 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
91
92 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
93 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
94 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
95 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
96 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
97 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
98 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
99
100 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
101 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
102 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
103
104 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
105 - @_ is now properly localized.
106 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
107 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
108 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
109 coroutine-specific vars.
110 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
111
112 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
113 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
114 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
115 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
116 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
117 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
118 model. Still crude and subject to change.
119 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
120
121 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
122 - implemented "async" attribute.
123 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
124 - added Coro::Channel.
125 - more testcases, still no docs.
126
127 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
128 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
