3 0.51
4 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
5 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
6 error.
7
8 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
9 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
10 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
11 in various modules.
12 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
13 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
14
15 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
16 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
17 inside Coro::Handle.
18 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
19 speed reasons.
20 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
21 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
22 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
23 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
24 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
25 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
26 under some circumstances.
27 - other bugfixes.
28
29 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
30 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
31 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
32 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
33 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
34 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
35 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
36 syntax.
37 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
38 - new simple priority system.
39 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
40 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
41
42 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
43 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
44 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
45 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
46 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
47 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
48 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
49 "Callback called exit" messages).
50 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
51 - much better Coro::Socket support.
52
53 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
54 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
55 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
56 should work well in practise ;)
57 - added Coro::RWLock.
58 - Coro::Specific now works.
59
60 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
61 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
62 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
63 - new module Coro::Socket.
64
65 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
66 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
67 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
68 for yield.
69 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
70 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
71 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
72 perl-5.6.
73 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
74 - the idle process is now overriden
75 by default in Coro::Event.
76 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
77 - canceling events now works in all cases.
78 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
79 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
80 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
81 non-blocking i/o.
82 - performance tuning.
83
84 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
85 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
86 - add Coro::State::flush function.
87 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
88 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
89 - continuations have a saner syntax.
90 - no more memleaks.
91
92 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
93 - release candidate 1 ;)
94 - slightly nicer code.
95 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
96
97 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
98 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
99 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
100 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
101 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
102 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
103 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
104
105 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
106 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
107 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
108
109 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
110 - @_ is now properly localized.
111 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
112 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
113 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
114 coroutine-specific vars.
115 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
116
117 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
118 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
119 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
120 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
121 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
122 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
123 model. Still crude and subject to change.
124 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
125
126 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
127 - implemented "async" attribute.
128 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
129 - added Coro::Channel.
130 - more testcases, still no docs.
131
132 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
133 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
