1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
4 - added a README.linux-glibc.
5 - new module Coro::Select.
6 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
7 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
8 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
9
10 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
11 - made lazy context switching the default.
12 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
13 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
14 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
15 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
16
17 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
18 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
19 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
20 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
21 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
22 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
23 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
24
25 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
26 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
27 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
28 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
29
30 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
31 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
32 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
33 without Event, which freezes).
34
35 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
36 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
37
38 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
39 - some tests for Event.
40 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
41 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
42 new ones.
43 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
44 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
45
46 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
47 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
48 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
49 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
50
51 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
52 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
53 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
54 error.
55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
57 - implemented terminate with args + join.
58
59 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
60 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
61 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
62 in various modules.
63 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
64 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
65
66 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
67 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
68 inside Coro::Handle.
69 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
70 speed reasons.
71 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
72 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
73 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
74 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
75 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
76 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
77 under some circumstances.
78 - other bugfixes.
79
80 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
81 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
82 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
83 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
84 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
85 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
86 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
87 syntax.
88 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
89 - new simple priority system.
90 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
91 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
92
93 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
94 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
95 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
96 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
97 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
98 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
99 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
100 "Callback called exit" messages).
101 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
102 - much better Coro::Socket support.
103
104 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
105 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
106 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
107 should work well in practise ;)
108 - added Coro::RWLock.
109 - Coro::Specific now works.
110
111 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
112 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
113 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
114 - new module Coro::Socket.
115
116 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
117 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
118 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
119 for yield.
120 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
121 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
122 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
123 perl-5.6.
124 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
125 - the idle process is now overriden
126 by default in Coro::Event.
127 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
128 - canceling events now works in all cases.
129 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
130 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
131 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
132 non-blocking i/o.
133 - performance tuning.
134
135 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
136 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
137 - add Coro::State::flush function.
138 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
139 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
140 - continuations have a saner syntax.
141 - no more memleaks.
142
143 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
144 - release candidate 1 ;)
145 - slightly nicer code.
146 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
147
148 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
149 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
150 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
151 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
152 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
153 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
154 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
155
156 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
157 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
158 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
159
160 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
161 - @_ is now properly localized.
162 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
163 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
164 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
165 coroutine-specific vars.
166 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
167
168 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
169 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
170 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
171 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
172 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
173 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
174 model. Still crude and subject to change.
175 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
176
177 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
178 - implemented "async" attribute.
179 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
180 - added Coro::Channel.
181 - more testcases, still no docs.
182
183 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
184 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
185
