1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
4 Highly correct stuff, that is...
5
6 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
7 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
8 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
9 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
10 so preselect it.
11
12 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
13 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
14 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
15
16 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
17 - added a README.linux-glibc.
18 - new module Coro::Select.
19 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
20 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
21 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
22
23 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
24 - made lazy context switching the default.
25 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
26 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
27 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
28 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
29
30 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
31 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
32 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
33 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
34 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
35 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
36 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
37
38 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
39 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
40 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
41 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
42
43 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
44 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
45 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
46 without Event, which freezes).
47
48 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
49 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
50
51 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
52 - some tests for Event.
53 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
54 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
55 new ones.
56 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
57 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
58
59 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
60 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
61 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
62 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
63
64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
65 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
66 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
67 error.
68 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
69 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
70 - implemented terminate with args + join.
71
72 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
73 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
74 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
75 in various modules.
76 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
77 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
78
79 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
80 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
81 inside Coro::Handle.
82 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
83 speed reasons.
84 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
85 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
86 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
87 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
88 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
89 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
90 under some circumstances.
91 - other bugfixes.
92
93 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
94 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
95 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
96 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
97 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
98 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
99 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
100 syntax.
101 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
102 - new simple priority system.
103 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
104 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
105
106 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
107 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
108 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
109 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
110 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
111 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
112 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
113 "Callback called exit" messages).
114 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
115 - much better Coro::Socket support.
116
117 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
118 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
119 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
120 should work well in practise ;)
121 - added Coro::RWLock.
122 - Coro::Specific now works.
123
124 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
125 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
126 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
127 - new module Coro::Socket.
128
129 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
130 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
131 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
132 for yield.
133 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
134 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
135 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
136 perl-5.6.
137 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
138 - the idle process is now overriden
139 by default in Coro::Event.
140 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
141 - canceling events now works in all cases.
142 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
143 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
144 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
145 non-blocking i/o.
146 - performance tuning.
147
148 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
149 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
150 - add Coro::State::flush function.
151 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
152 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
153 - continuations have a saner syntax.
154 - no more memleaks.
155
156 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
157 - release candidate 1 ;)
158 - slightly nicer code.
159 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
160
161 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
162 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
163 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
164 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
165 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
166 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
167 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
168
169 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
170 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
171 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
172
173 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
174 - @_ is now properly localized.
175 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
176 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
177 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
178 coroutine-specific vars.
179 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
180
181 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
182 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
183 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
184 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
185 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
186 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
187 model. Still crude and subject to change.
188 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
189
190 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
191 - implemented "async" attribute.
192 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
193 - added Coro::Channel.
194 - more testcases, still no docs.
195
196 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
197 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
198
