1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
4 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
5 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
6
7 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
8 - added a README.linux-glibc.
9 - new module Coro::Select.
10 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
11 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
12 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
13
14 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
15 - made lazy context switching the default.
16 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
17 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
18 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
19 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
20
21 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
22 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
23 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
24 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
25 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
26 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
27 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
28
29 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
30 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
31 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
32 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
33
34 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
35 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
36 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
37 without Event, which freezes).
38
39 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
40 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
41
42 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
43 - some tests for Event.
44 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
45 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
46 new ones.
47 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
48 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
49
50 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
51 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
52 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
53 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
54
55 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
56 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
57 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
58 error.
59 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
60 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
61 - implemented terminate with args + join.
62
63 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
64 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
65 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
66 in various modules.
67 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
68 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
69
70 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
71 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
72 inside Coro::Handle.
73 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
74 speed reasons.
75 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
76 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
77 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
78 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
79 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
80 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
81 under some circumstances.
82 - other bugfixes.
83
84 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
85 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
86 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
87 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
88 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
89 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
90 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
91 syntax.
92 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
93 - new simple priority system.
94 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
95 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
96
97 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
98 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
99 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
100 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
101 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
102 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
103 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
104 "Callback called exit" messages).
105 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
106 - much better Coro::Socket support.
107
108 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
109 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
110 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
111 should work well in practise ;)
112 - added Coro::RWLock.
113 - Coro::Specific now works.
114
115 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
116 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
117 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
118 - new module Coro::Socket.
119
120 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
121 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
122 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
123 for yield.
124 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
125 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
126 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
127 perl-5.6.
128 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
129 - the idle process is now overriden
130 by default in Coro::Event.
131 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
132 - canceling events now works in all cases.
133 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
134 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
135 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
136 non-blocking i/o.
137 - performance tuning.
138
139 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
140 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
141 - add Coro::State::flush function.
142 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
143 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
144 - continuations have a saner syntax.
145 - no more memleaks.
146
147 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
148 - release candidate 1 ;)
149 - slightly nicer code.
150 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
151
152 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
153 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
154 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
155 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
156 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
157 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
158 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
159
160 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
161 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
162 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
163
164 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
165 - @_ is now properly localized.
166 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
167 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
168 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
169 coroutine-specific vars.
170 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
171
172 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
173 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
174 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
175 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
176 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
177 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
178 model. Still crude and subject to change.
179 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
180
181 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
182 - implemented "async" attribute.
183 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
184 - added Coro::Channel.
185 - more testcases, still no docs.
186
187 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
188 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
189
