1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost.
4
5 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
6 - added a README.linux-glibc.
7 - new module Coro::Select.
8 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
9 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
10 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
11
12 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
13 - made lazy context switching the default.
14 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
15 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
16 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
17 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
18
19 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
20 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
21 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
22 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
23 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
24 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
25 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
26
27 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
28 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
29 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
30 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
31
32 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
33 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
34 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
35 without Event, which freezes).
36
37 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
38 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
39
40 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
41 - some tests for Event.
42 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
43 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
44 new ones.
45 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
46 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
47
48 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
49 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
50 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
51 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
52
53 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
55 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
56 error.
57 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
58 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
59 - implemented terminate with args + join.
60
61 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
62 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
63 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
64 in various modules.
65 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
66 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
67
68 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
69 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
70 inside Coro::Handle.
71 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
72 speed reasons.
73 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
74 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
75 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
76 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
77 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
78 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
79 under some circumstances.
80 - other bugfixes.
81
82 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
83 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
84 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
85 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
86 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
87 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
88 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
89 syntax.
90 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
91 - new simple priority system.
92 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
93 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
94
95 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
96 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
97 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
98 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
99 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
100 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
101 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
102 "Callback called exit" messages).
103 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
104 - much better Coro::Socket support.
105
106 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
107 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
108 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
109 should work well in practise ;)
110 - added Coro::RWLock.
111 - Coro::Specific now works.
112
113 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
114 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
115 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
116 - new module Coro::Socket.
117
118 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
119 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
120 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
121 for yield.
122 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
123 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
124 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
125 perl-5.6.
126 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
127 - the idle process is now overriden
128 by default in Coro::Event.
129 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
130 - canceling events now works in all cases.
131 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
132 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
133 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
134 non-blocking i/o.
135 - performance tuning.
136
137 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
138 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
139 - add Coro::State::flush function.
140 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
141 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
142 - continuations have a saner syntax.
143 - no more memleaks.
144
145 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
146 - release candidate 1 ;)
147 - slightly nicer code.
148 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
149
150 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
151 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
152 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
153 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
154 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
155 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
156 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
157
158 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
159 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
160 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
161
162 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
163 - @_ is now properly localized.
164 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
165 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
166 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
167 coroutine-specific vars.
168 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
169
170 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
171 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
172 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
173 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
174 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
175 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
176 model. Still crude and subject to change.
177 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
178
179 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
180 - implemented "async" attribute.
181 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
182 - added Coro::Channel.
183 - more testcases, still no docs.
184
185 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
186 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
187
