3 TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).
4 TODO: unready_all
5 TODO: myhttpd header parsing
6 TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)?
7 TODO: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/archive/s2ce.aspx
8
9 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
10 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
11 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
12
13 5.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
14 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
15 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
16 method call.
17 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
18 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
19 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
20 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
21
22 5.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
23 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
24 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
25 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
26 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
27
28 5.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
29 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
30 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
31 out of the box.
32 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
33 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
34 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
35
36 5.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
37 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
38 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
39 Waldorf).
40 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
41
42 5.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
43 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
44 (testcase by Marc Mims).
45 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
46 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
47 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
48 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
49 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
50 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
51 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
52 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
53 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
54 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
55
56 5.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
57 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
58 together.
59 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
60 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
61 the most common source of confusion.
62 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
63 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
64 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
65 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
66
67 5.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
68 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
69 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
70 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
71 - new method $state->swap_sv.
72 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
73 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
74 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
75 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
76 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
77 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
78 - use common::sense everywhere now.
79 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
80 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
81
82 5.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
83 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
84 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
85 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
86 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
87 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
88 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
89
90 5.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
91 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
92 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
93
94 5.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
95 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
96 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
97 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
98 not on demand.
99 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
100
101 5.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
102 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
103 when no threads had been readied between detecting
104 the event loop and actually running it.
105 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
106 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
107 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
108 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
109 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
110 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
111 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
112 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
113 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
114 for hardcode select overriding.
115
116 5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
117 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
118 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
119 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
120
121 5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
122 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
123 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
124 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
125 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
126 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
127 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
128 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
129 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
130 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
131 (Coro::State::enable_times).
132
133 5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
134 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
135 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
136 idle_upto).
137 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
138 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
139 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
140 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
141 had already been freed.
142 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
143 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
144 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
145 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
146 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
147 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
148 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
149 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
150 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
151 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
152 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
153 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
154
155 5.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
156 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
157 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
158 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
159 should support a prepare callback.
160
161 5.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
162 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
163 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
164 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
165
166 5.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
167 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
168 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
169 spurious warnings.
170 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
171 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
172 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
173 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
174 - deprecate Coro::guard.
175 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
176 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
177 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
178 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
179 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
180 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
181 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
182 to avoid needless segfaults.
183
184 5.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
185 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
186 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
187 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
188 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
189 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
190 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
191 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
192 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
193 destruction.
194 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
195 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
196 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
197 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
198 pthreads fare better?).
199 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
200
201 5.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
202 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
203 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
204 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
205
206 5.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
207 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
208 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
209 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
210 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
211 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
212 LWP data transfers.
213 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
214 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
215 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
216 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
217 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
218 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
219 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
220 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
221 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
222 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
223 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
224 callbacks.
225 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
226 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
227 through the idle threads now.
228 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
229 - eg/event was pretty broken.
230 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
231
232 5.0 Thu Nov 20 10:35:05 CET 2008
233 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
234 stability issues.
235 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
236 - removed timed_* functions - they were not being used anyways
237 and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism -
238 and were annoying to support anyways :)
239 - removed SemaphoreSet's waiter method - use sem method instead.
240 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
241 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
242 ("Attempt to unreference...").
243 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
244 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
245 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
246 it was available but waiters were still blocked).
247 - calling throw on a coroutine that is waiting for a semaphore will
248 no longer make it acquire the semaphore (and thus leak a count).
249 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
250 anymore.
251 - new functions Coro::rouse_cb and Coro::rouse_wait for easier
252 conversion of callback-style to blocking-style.
253 - new methods $coro->schedule_to and ->cede_to, to specifically
254 schedule or cede to a specific coroutine.
255 - new function Coro::Semaphore::wait.
256 - use named constants in Coro::Channel (Richard Hundt).
257 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
258 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
259 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
260 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
261 those functions and atcually create new ones.
262 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
263 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
264 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
265 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
266 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
267 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a
268 factor of two.
269 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a
270 factor of three.
271 - used new SLF interface to speed up Coro::AIO by roughly a factor of
272 four and reduce its memory usage considerably.
273 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore,
274 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement
275 a new method "sem" to get at the underlying semaphore object.
276 - implement Coro::Channel in terms of Coro::Semaphore, for a moderate
277 (in comparison) 20-40% speedup.
278 - used new SLF interface to reimplement Coro::Signal gaining
279 some unknown (because I was too lazy), but certain, speedup, and also
280 making signals reliable for the first time.
281 - used new SLF interface and other optimisations to speed up async_pool
282 by a factor of two. It also doesn't rely on perl's exception mechanism
283 to exit anymore. The overhead for terminating an async_pool, coro over
284 a normal async is now very small.
285 - sped up coroutine creation/destruction by 40%.
286 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
287 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
288 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).
289 - use new rouse functions to speed up and simplify Coro::BDB.
290 - make "prefer perl native functions" work with threaded perls.
291 - condense Coro::Debug ps output, hint at v and w flags.
292 - (libcoro) lots of minor cleanups and portability improvements.
293
294 4.914 Wed Nov 19 12:54:18 CET 2008
295 - fix a disastrous bug in the readline optimisation
296 introduced in 4.801.
297
298 4.913 Sat Nov 15 07:58:28 CET 2008
299 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
300 ("Attempt to unreference...").
301
302 4.912 Thu Nov 13 18:31:23 CET 2008
303 - minor cleanups.
304 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
305 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
306 when destroyed.
307
308 4.911 Tue Nov 11 04:26:17 CET 2008
309 - "port" to threaded perls.
310
311 4.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008
312 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
313 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
314 - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field
315 (unknown impact).
316 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work
317 instead of being ignored.
318 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
319 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
320 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
321
322 4.9 Sat Nov 8 17:45:27 CET 2008
323 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
324 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
325 also speed it up considerably.
326 - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
327 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
328 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
329 - Coro::State::cctx_stacksize wasn't applied correctly.
330 - new function Coro::State::cctx_max_idle.
331 - the default max number of idle C contexts is now 4.
332 - (libcoro) try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
333 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officially
334 allow the creation of empty source contexts.
335 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
336 - tried to hack around openbsd bugs.
337
338 4.804 Wed Nov 5 16:36:00 CET 2008
339 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
340 socket, sometimes causing freezes.
341 - (libcoro) fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly
342 methods, which can cause crashes on x86/x86_64 with a sufficiently
343 aggressive compiler.
344 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
345 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
346
347 4.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
348 - (libcoro) use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc
349 otpimisations for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
350 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
351
352 4.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
353 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
354 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
355
356 4.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
357 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
358 - backport to 5.8.8.
359
360 4.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
361 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
362 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
363 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
364 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
365
366 4.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
367 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
368
369 4.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
370 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
371 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
372 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
373 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
374 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
375
376 4.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
377 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
378 code reference).
379 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
380 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
381 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
382 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
383
384 4.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
385 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
386 in Coro::Storable.
387 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
388
389 4.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
390 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
391 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
392 outdated software). Reported by John S.
393
394 4.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
395 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
396 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
397 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
398
399 4.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
400 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
401 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
402 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
403
404 4.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
405 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
406 - require EV 3.3+.
407
408 4.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
409 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
410 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
411 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
412 stuff seems just too broken.
413 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
414
415 4.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
416 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
417 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
418
419 4.73 Thu May 29 2008
420 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
421 there being runnable coroutines.
422 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
423 warnings for some other modules.
424 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
425
426 4.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
427 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
428 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
429 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
430 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
431 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
432 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
433 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
434 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
435 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
436 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
437 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
438 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
439
440 4.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
441 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
442 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
443 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
444 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
445 scheduling.
446
447 4.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
448 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
449 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
450 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
451 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
452 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
453 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
454 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
455
456 4.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
457 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
458 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
459 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
460 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
461 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
462 actual impact unknown.
463
464 4.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
465 - make it compile again on 5.8.
466
467 4.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
468 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
469
470 4.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
471 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
472 were compiled on 5.8 only.
473
474 4.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
475 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
476 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
477 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
478 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
479
480 4.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
481 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
482 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
483 leading to crashes and worse.
484 - document force_cctx.
485
486 4.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
487 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
488 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
489
490 4.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
491 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
492 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
493 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
494 (also add testcase).
495 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
496 apparently having loads of fun with that).
497 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
498
499 4.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
500 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
501 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
502 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
503 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
504 Andreas König.
505
506 4.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
507 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
508 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
509
510 4.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
511 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
512 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
513
514 4.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
515 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
516 from longmess and also skips the innermost
517 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
518 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
519 at a <1% speed hit.
520 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
521 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
522
523 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
524 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
525
526 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
527 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
528
529 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
530 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
531 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
532 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
533
534 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
535 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
536
537 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
538 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
539 when the stack changed.
540 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
541 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
542 if available.
543 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
544 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
545 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
546
547 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
548 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
549 and Coro::Handle.
550
551 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
552 - fix a spurious memory read.
553 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
554
555 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
556 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
557 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
558 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
559 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
560 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
561 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
562 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
563 directly supported by Coro.
564 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
565 stuff in Coro::Util.
566 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
567 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
568 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
569
570 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
571 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
572 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
573 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
574 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
575 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
576 This also catches recursive invocations.
577 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
578
579 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
580 - port to threaded perls.
581
582 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
583 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
584 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
585 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
586 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
587 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
588 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
589 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
590 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
591 speeds up context switching a bit.
592 - further tune default stack sizes.
593 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
594 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
595 resulting in races between coroutines.
596 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
597 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
598 an unrelated coroutine.
599 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
600 more detail in Coro::State.
601 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
602 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
603 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
604 invalidating pointers.
605
606 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
607 - added Coro::throw method.
608 - minor code cleanups.
609
610 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
611 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
612 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
613 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
614 or use tracing).
615 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
616 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
617 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
618
619 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
620 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
621 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
622
623 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
624 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
625 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
626 debugging, tracing and much more.
627 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
628 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
629 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
630 flags.
631 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
632 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
633 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
634 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
635 - added Coro::killall.
636 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
637 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
638 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
639 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
640 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
641 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
642 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
643 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
644 - many minor tweaks.
645
646 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
647 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
648
649 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
650 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
651 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
652
653 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
654 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
655 pst's sometimes.
656 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
657 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
658 be threadsafe...).
659 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
660 but stateful semantics.
661 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
662 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
663
664 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
665 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
666 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
667 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
668 (EXPERIMENTAL).
669 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
670 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
671 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
672 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
673
674 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
675 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
676 it by default.
677 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
678 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
679 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
680 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
681 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
682 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
683 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
684 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
685 performance.
686
687 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
688 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
689 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
690
691 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
692 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
693 them without asking.
694
695 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
696 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
697 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
698 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
699 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
700 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
701 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
702
703 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
704 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
705 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
706 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
707 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
708 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
709 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
710 obsolete platforms.
711
712 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
713 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
714 but was rather flaky in practise.
715 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
716 it was reused.
717 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
718 in cede_notself.
719
720 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
721 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
722 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
723 documented and - hopefully - improved.
724 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
725 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
726 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
727 that could errronously trigger.
728 - fix various large and small memleaks.
729 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
730 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
731 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
732 - added Coro::guard function.
733 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
734 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
735 and 128k coros with async_pool).
736 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
737
738 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
739 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
740 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
741 - simplify configuration for users.
742 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
743 their coro replacements.
744
745 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
746 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
747 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
748 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
749 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
750 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
751 - save/restore tainted status.
752 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
753
754 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
755 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
756 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
757 - give a better error message on deadlock.
758 - document Coro::nready.
759 - enhanced testsuite.
760
761 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
762 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
763
764 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
765 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
766 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
767 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
768 pool (size currently hardcoded).
769 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
770 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
771 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
772 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
773 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
774 check for changed watchers.
775 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
776 per event.
777 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
778 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
779 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
780 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
781 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
782 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
783 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
784 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
785 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
786 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
787 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
788 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
789 - updated to newest libcoro.
790 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
791 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
792 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
793 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
794 if somebody asks for it :)
795 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
796 spuriously without the event having happened.
797
798 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
799 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
800 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
801 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
802 make LWP non-blocking.
803 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
804 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
805 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
806 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
807 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
808 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
809 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
810 by LWP(!!).
811 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
812 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
813 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
814 did already.
815
816 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
817 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
818 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
819 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
820 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
821 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
822 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
823 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
824 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
825
826 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
827 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
828
829 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
830
831 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
832 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
833 mark & sweep gc run.
834 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
835
836 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
837 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
838 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
839
840 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
841 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
842 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
843 wrong package.
844 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
845 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
846 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
847 normally uses.
848 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
849
850 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
851 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
852
853 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
854 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
855 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
856 - strict'ify some modules.
857 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
858 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
859 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
860
861 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
862 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
863 when 'l'inux method was used.
864
865 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
866 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
867
868 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
869 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
870 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
871 Coro::State::flush method.
872 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
873
874 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
875 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
876 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
877 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
878 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
879 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
880
881 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
882 - change of contact address.
883
884 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
885 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
886 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
887
888 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
889 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
890 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
891 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
892
893 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
894 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
895
896 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
897 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
898 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
899 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
900 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
901 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
902 fixable).
903 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
904
905 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
906 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
907 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
908 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
909 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
910 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
911 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
912 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
913 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
914 - fix for threaded perl.
915
916 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
917 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
918 memory leaks.
919 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
920 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
921 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
922
923 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
924 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
925 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
926
927 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
928 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
929 of new features.
930 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
931 Highly correct stuff, that is...
932 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
933 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
934
935 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
936 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
937 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
938 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
939 so preselect it.
940
941 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
942 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
943 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
944
945 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
946 - added a README.linux-glibc.
947 - new module Coro::Select.
948 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
949 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
950 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
951
952 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
953 - made lazy context switching the default.
954 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
955 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
956 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
957 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
958
959 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
960 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
961 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
962 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
963 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
964 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
965 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
966
967 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
968 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
969 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
970 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
971
972 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
973 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
974 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
975 without Event, which freezes).
976
977 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
978 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
979
980 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
981 - some tests for Event.
982 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
983 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
984 new ones.
985 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
986 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
987
988 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
989 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
990 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
991 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
992
993 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
994 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
995 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
996 error.
997 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
998 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
999 - implemented terminate with args + join.
1000
1001 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
1002 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
1003 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
1004 in various modules.
1005 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
1006 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
1007
1008 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
1009 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
1010 inside Coro::Handle.
1011 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
1012 speed reasons.
1013 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
1014 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
1015 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
1016 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
1017 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
1018 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
1019 under some circumstances.
1020 - other bugfixes.
1021
1022 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
1023 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
1024 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
1025 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
1026 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
1027 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
1028 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
1029 syntax.
1030 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
1031 - new simple priority system.
1032 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
1033 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
1034
1035 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
1036 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
1037 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
1038 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
1039 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
1040 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
1041 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
1042 "Callback called exit" messages).
1043 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
1044 - much better Coro::Socket support.
1045
1046 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
1047 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
1048 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
1049 should work well in practise ;)
1050 - added Coro::RWLock.
1051 - Coro::Specific now works.
1052
1053 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
1054 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
1055 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
1056 - new module Coro::Socket.
1057
1058 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
1059 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
1060 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
1061 for yield.
1062 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
1063 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
1064 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
1065 perl-5.6.
1066 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
1067 - the idle process is now overriden
1068 by default in Coro::Event.
1069 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
1070 - canceling events now works in all cases.
1071 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
1072 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
1073 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
1074 non-blocking i/o.
1075 - performance tuning.
1076
1077 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
1078 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
1079 - add Coro::State::flush function.
1080 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
1081 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
1082 - continuations have a saner syntax.
1083 - no more memleaks.
1084
1085 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
1086 - release candidate 1 ;)
1087 - slightly nicer code.
1088 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
1089
1090 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
1091 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
1092 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
1093 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
1094 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
1095 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
1096 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
1097
1098 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
1099 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
1100 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
1101
1102 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
1103 - @_ is now properly localized.
1104 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
1105 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
1106 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
1107 coroutine-specific vars.
1108 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
1109
1110 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
1111 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
1112 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
1113 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
1114 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
1115 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
1116 model. Still crude and subject to change.
1117 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
1118
1119 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
1120 - implemented "async" attribute.
1121 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
1122 - added Coro::Channel.
1123 - more testcases, still no docs.
1124
1125 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
1126 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
1127
