9 5.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
10 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
11 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
12 method call.
13 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
14 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
15 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
16 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
17
18 5.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
19 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
20 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
21 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
22 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
23
24 5.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
25 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
26 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
27 out of the box.
28 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
29 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
30 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
31
32 5.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
33 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
34 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
35 Waldorf).
36 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
37
38 5.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
39 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
40 (testcase by Marc Mims).
41 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
42 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
43 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
44 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
45 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
46 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
47 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
48 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
49 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
50 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
51
52 5.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
53 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
54 together.
55 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
56 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
57 the most common source of confusion.
58 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
59 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
60 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
61 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
62
63 5.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
64 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
65 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
66 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
67 - new method $state->swap_sv.
68 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
69 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
70 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
71 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
72 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
73 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
74 - use common::sense everywhere now.
75 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
76 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
77
78 5.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
79 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
80 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
81 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
82 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
83 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
84 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
85
86 5.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
87 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
88 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
89
90 5.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
91 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
92 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
93 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
94 not on demand.
95 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
96
97 5.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
98 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
99 when no threads had been readied between detecting
100 the event loop and actually running it.
101 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
102 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
103 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
104 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
105 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
106 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
107 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
108 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
109 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
110 for hardcode select overriding.
111
112 5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
113 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
114 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
115 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
116
117 5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
118 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
119 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
120 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
121 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
122 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
123 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
124 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
125 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
126 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
127 (Coro::State::enable_times).
128
129 5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
130 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
131 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
132 idle_upto).
133 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
134 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
135 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
136 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
137 had already been freed.
138 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
139 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
140 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
141 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
142 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
143 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
144 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
145 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
146 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
147 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
148 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
149 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
150
151 5.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
152 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
153 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
154 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
155 should support a prepare callback.
156
157 5.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
158 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
159 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
160 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
161
162 5.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
163 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
164 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
165 spurious warnings.
166 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
167 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
168 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
169 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
170 - deprecate Coro::guard.
171 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
172 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
173 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
174 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
175 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
176 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
177 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
178 to avoid needless segfaults.
179
180 5.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
181 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
182 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
183 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
184 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
185 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
186 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
187 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
188 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
189 destruction.
190 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
191 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
192 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
193 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
194 pthreads fare better?).
195 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
196
197 5.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
198 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
199 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
200 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
201
202 5.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
203 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
204 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
205 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
206 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
207 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
208 LWP data transfers.
209 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
210 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
211 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
212 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
213 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
214 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
215 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
216 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
217 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
218 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
219 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
220 callbacks.
221 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
222 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
223 through the idle threads now.
224 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
225 - eg/event was pretty broken.
226 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
227
228 5.0 Thu Nov 20 10:35:05 CET 2008
229 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
230 stability issues.
231 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
232 - removed timed_* functions - they were not being used anyways
233 and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism -
234 and were annoying to support anyways :)
235 - removed SemaphoreSet's waiter method - use sem method instead.
236 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
237 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
238 ("Attempt to unreference...").
239 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
240 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
241 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
242 it was available but waiters were still blocked).
243 - calling throw on a coroutine that is waiting for a semaphore will
244 no longer make it acquire the semaphore (and thus leak a count).
245 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
246 anymore.
247 - new functions Coro::rouse_cb and Coro::rouse_wait for easier
248 conversion of callback-style to blocking-style.
249 - new methods $coro->schedule_to and ->cede_to, to specifically
250 schedule or cede to a specific coroutine.
251 - new function Coro::Semaphore::wait.
252 - use named constants in Coro::Channel (Richard Hundt).
253 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
254 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
255 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
256 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
257 those functions and atcually create new ones.
258 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
259 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
260 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
261 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
262 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
263 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a
264 factor of two.
265 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a
266 factor of three.
267 - used new SLF interface to speed up Coro::AIO by roughly a factor of
268 four and reduce its memory usage considerably.
269 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore,
270 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement
271 a new method "sem" to get at the underlying semaphore object.
272 - implement Coro::Channel in terms of Coro::Semaphore, for a moderate
273 (in comparison) 20-40% speedup.
274 - used new SLF interface to reimplement Coro::Signal gaining
275 some unknown (because I was too lazy), but certain, speedup, and also
276 making signals reliable for the first time.
277 - used new SLF interface and other optimisations to speed up async_pool
278 by a factor of two. It also doesn't rely on perl's exception mechanism
279 to exit anymore. The overhead for terminating an async_pool, coro over
280 a normal async is now very small.
281 - sped up coroutine creation/destruction by 40%.
282 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
283 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
284 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).
285 - use new rouse functions to speed up and simplify Coro::BDB.
286 - make "prefer perl native functions" work with threaded perls.
287 - condense Coro::Debug ps output, hint at v and w flags.
288 - (libcoro) lots of minor cleanups and portability improvements.
289
290 4.914 Wed Nov 19 12:54:18 CET 2008
291 - fix a disastrous bug in the readline optimisation
292 introduced in 4.801.
293
294 4.913 Sat Nov 15 07:58:28 CET 2008
295 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
296 ("Attempt to unreference...").
297
298 4.912 Thu Nov 13 18:31:23 CET 2008
299 - minor cleanups.
300 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
301 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
302 when destroyed.
303
304 4.911 Tue Nov 11 04:26:17 CET 2008
305 - "port" to threaded perls.
306
307 4.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008
308 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
309 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
310 - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field
311 (unknown impact).
312 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work
313 instead of being ignored.
314 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
315 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
316 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
317
318 4.9 Sat Nov 8 17:45:27 CET 2008
319 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
320 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
321 also speed it up considerably.
322 - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
323 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
324 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
325 - Coro::State::cctx_stacksize wasn't applied correctly.
326 - new function Coro::State::cctx_max_idle.
327 - the default max number of idle C contexts is now 4.
328 - (libcoro) try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
329 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officially
330 allow the creation of empty source contexts.
331 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
332 - tried to hack around openbsd bugs.
333
334 4.804 Wed Nov 5 16:36:00 CET 2008
335 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
336 socket, sometimes causing freezes.
337 - (libcoro) fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly
338 methods, which can cause crashes on x86/x86_64 with a sufficiently
339 aggressive compiler.
340 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
341 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
342
343 4.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
344 - (libcoro) use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc
345 otpimisations for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
346 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
347
348 4.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
349 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
350 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
351
352 4.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
353 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
354 - backport to 5.8.8.
355
356 4.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
357 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
358 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
359 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
360 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
361
362 4.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
363 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
364
365 4.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
366 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
367 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
368 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
369 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
370 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
371
372 4.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
373 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
374 code reference).
375 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
376 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
377 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
378 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
379
380 4.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
381 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
382 in Coro::Storable.
383 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
384
385 4.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
386 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
387 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
388 outdated software). Reported by John S.
389
390 4.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
391 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
392 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
393 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
394
395 4.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
396 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
397 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
398 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
399
400 4.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
401 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
402 - require EV 3.3+.
403
404 4.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
405 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
406 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
407 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
408 stuff seems just too broken.
409 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
410
411 4.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
412 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
413 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
414
415 4.73 Thu May 29 2008
416 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
417 there being runnable coroutines.
418 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
419 warnings for some other modules.
420 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
421
422 4.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
423 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
424 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
425 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
426 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
427 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
428 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
429 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
430 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
431 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
432 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
433 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
434 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
435
436 4.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
437 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
438 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
439 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
440 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
441 scheduling.
442
443 4.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
444 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
445 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
446 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
447 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
448 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
449 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
450 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
451
452 4.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
453 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
454 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
455 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
456 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
457 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
458 actual impact unknown.
459
460 4.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
461 - make it compile again on 5.8.
462
463 4.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
464 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
465
466 4.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
467 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
468 were compiled on 5.8 only.
469
470 4.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
471 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
472 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
473 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
474 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
475
476 4.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
477 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
478 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
479 leading to crashes and worse.
480 - document force_cctx.
481
482 4.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
483 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
484 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
485
486 4.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
487 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
488 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
489 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
490 (also add testcase).
491 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
492 apparently having loads of fun with that).
493 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
494
495 4.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
496 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
497 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
498 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
499 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
500 Andreas König.
501
502 4.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
503 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
504 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
505
506 4.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
507 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
508 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
509
510 4.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
511 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
512 from longmess and also skips the innermost
513 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
514 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
515 at a <1% speed hit.
516 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
517 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
518
519 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
520 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
521
522 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
523 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
524
525 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
526 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
527 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
528 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
529
530 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
531 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
532
533 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
534 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
535 when the stack changed.
536 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
537 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
538 if available.
539 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
540 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
541 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
542
543 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
544 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
545 and Coro::Handle.
546
547 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
548 - fix a spurious memory read.
549 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
550
551 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
552 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
553 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
554 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
555 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
556 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
557 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
558 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
559 directly supported by Coro.
560 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
561 stuff in Coro::Util.
562 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
563 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
564 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
565
566 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
567 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
568 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
569 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
570 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
571 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
572 This also catches recursive invocations.
573 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
574
575 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
576 - port to threaded perls.
577
578 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
579 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
580 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
581 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
582 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
583 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
584 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
585 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
586 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
587 speeds up context switching a bit.
588 - further tune default stack sizes.
589 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
590 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
591 resulting in races between coroutines.
592 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
593 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
594 an unrelated coroutine.
595 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
596 more detail in Coro::State.
597 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
598 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
599 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
600 invalidating pointers.
601
602 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
603 - added Coro::throw method.
604 - minor code cleanups.
605
606 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
607 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
608 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
609 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
610 or use tracing).
611 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
612 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
613 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
614
615 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
616 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
617 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
618
619 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
620 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
621 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
622 debugging, tracing and much more.
623 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
624 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
625 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
626 flags.
627 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
628 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
629 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
630 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
631 - added Coro::killall.
632 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
633 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
634 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
635 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
636 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
637 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
638 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
639 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
640 - many minor tweaks.
641
642 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
643 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
644
645 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
646 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
647 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
648
649 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
650 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
651 pst's sometimes.
652 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
653 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
654 be threadsafe...).
655 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
656 but stateful semantics.
657 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
658 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
659
660 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
661 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
662 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
663 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
664 (EXPERIMENTAL).
665 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
666 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
667 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
668 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
669
670 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
671 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
672 it by default.
673 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
674 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
675 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
676 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
677 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
678 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
679 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
680 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
681 performance.
682
683 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
684 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
685 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
686
687 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
688 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
689 them without asking.
690
691 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
692 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
693 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
694 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
695 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
696 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
697 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
698
699 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
700 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
701 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
702 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
703 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
704 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
705 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
706 obsolete platforms.
707
708 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
709 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
710 but was rather flaky in practise.
711 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
712 it was reused.
713 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
714 in cede_notself.
715
716 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
717 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
718 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
719 documented and - hopefully - improved.
720 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
721 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
722 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
723 that could errronously trigger.
724 - fix various large and small memleaks.
725 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
726 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
727 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
728 - added Coro::guard function.
729 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
730 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
731 and 128k coros with async_pool).
732 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
733
734 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
735 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
736 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
737 - simplify configuration for users.
738 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
739 their coro replacements.
740
741 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
742 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
743 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
744 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
745 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
746 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
747 - save/restore tainted status.
748 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
749
750 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
751 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
752 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
753 - give a better error message on deadlock.
754 - document Coro::nready.
755 - enhanced testsuite.
756
757 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
758 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
759
760 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
761 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
762 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
763 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
764 pool (size currently hardcoded).
765 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
766 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
767 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
768 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
769 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
770 check for changed watchers.
771 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
772 per event.
773 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
774 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
775 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
776 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
777 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
778 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
779 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
780 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
781 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
782 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
783 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
784 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
785 - updated to newest libcoro.
786 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
787 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
788 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
789 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
790 if somebody asks for it :)
791 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
792 spuriously without the event having happened.
793
794 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
795 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
796 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
797 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
798 make LWP non-blocking.
799 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
800 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
801 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
802 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
803 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
804 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
805 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
806 by LWP(!!).
807 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
808 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
809 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
810 did already.
811
812 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
813 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
814 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
815 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
816 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
817 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
818 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
819 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
820 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
821
822 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
823 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
824
825 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
826
827 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
828 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
829 mark & sweep gc run.
830 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
831
832 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
833 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
834 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
835
836 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
837 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
838 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
839 wrong package.
840 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
841 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
842 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
843 normally uses.
844 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
845
846 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
847 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
848
849 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
850 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
851 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
852 - strict'ify some modules.
853 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
854 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
855 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
856
857 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
858 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
859 when 'l'inux method was used.
860
861 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
862 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
863
864 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
865 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
866 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
867 Coro::State::flush method.
868 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
869
870 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
871 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
872 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
873 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
874 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
875 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
876
877 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
878 - change of contact address.
879
880 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
881 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
882 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
883
884 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
885 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
886 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
887 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
888
889 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
890 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
891
892 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
893 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
894 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
895 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
896 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
897 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
898 fixable).
899 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
900
901 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
902 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
903 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
904 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
905 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
906 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
907 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
908 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
909 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
910 - fix for threaded perl.
911
912 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
913 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
914 memory leaks.
915 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
916 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
917 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
918
919 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
920 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
921 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
922
923 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
924 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
925 of new features.
926 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
927 Highly correct stuff, that is...
928 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
929 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
930
931 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
932 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
933 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
934 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
935 so preselect it.
936
937 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
938 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
939 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
940
941 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
942 - added a README.linux-glibc.
943 - new module Coro::Select.
944 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
945 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
946 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
947
948 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
949 - made lazy context switching the default.
950 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
951 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
952 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
953 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
954
955 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
956 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
957 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
958 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
959 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
960 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
961 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
962
963 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
964 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
965 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
966 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
967
968 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
969 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
970 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
971 without Event, which freezes).
972
973 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
974 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
975
976 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
977 - some tests for Event.
978 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
979 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
980 new ones.
981 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
982 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
983
984 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
985 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
986 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
987 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
988
989 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
990 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
991 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
992 error.
993 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
994 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
995 - implemented terminate with args + join.
996
997 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
998 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
999 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
1000 in various modules.
1001 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
1002 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
1003
1004 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
1005 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
1006 inside Coro::Handle.
1007 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
1008 speed reasons.
1009 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
1010 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
1011 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
1012 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
1013 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
1014 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
1015 under some circumstances.
1016 - other bugfixes.
1017
1018 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
1019 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
1020 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
1021 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
1022 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
1023 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
1024 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
1025 syntax.
1026 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
1027 - new simple priority system.
1028 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
1029 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
1030
1031 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
1032 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
1033 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
1034 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
1035 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
1036 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
1037 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
1038 "Callback called exit" messages).
1039 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
1040 - much better Coro::Socket support.
1041
1042 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
1043 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
1044 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
1045 should work well in practise ;)
1046 - added Coro::RWLock.
1047 - Coro::Specific now works.
1048
1049 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
1050 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
1051 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
1052 - new module Coro::Socket.
1053
1054 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
1055 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
1056 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
1057 for yield.
1058 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
1059 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
1060 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
1061 perl-5.6.
1062 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
1063 - the idle process is now overriden
1064 by default in Coro::Event.
1065 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
1066 - canceling events now works in all cases.
1067 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
1068 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
1069 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
1070 non-blocking i/o.
1071 - performance tuning.
1072
1073 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
1074 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
1075 - add Coro::State::flush function.
1076 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
1077 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
1078 - continuations have a saner syntax.
1079 - no more memleaks.
1080
1081 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
1082 - release candidate 1 ;)
1083 - slightly nicer code.
1084 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
1085
1086 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
1087 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
1088 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
1089 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
1090 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
1091 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
1092 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
1093
1094 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
1095 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
1096 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
1097
1098 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
1099 - @_ is now properly localized.
1100 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
1101 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
1102 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
1103 coroutine-specific vars.
1104 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
1105
1106 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
1107 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
1108 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
1109 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
1110 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
1111 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
1112 model. Still crude and subject to change.
1113 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
1114
1115 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
1116 - implemented "async" attribute.
1117 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
1118 - added Coro::Channel.
1119 - more testcases, still no docs.
1120
1121 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
1122 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
1123
