1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
4
5 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
6 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
7 of new features.
8 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
9 Highly correct stuff, that is...
10 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
11 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
12
13 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
14 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
15 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
16 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
17 so preselect it.
18
19 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
20 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
21 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
22
23 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
24 - added a README.linux-glibc.
25 - new module Coro::Select.
26 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
27 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
28 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
29
30 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
31 - made lazy context switching the default.
32 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
33 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
34 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
35 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
36
37 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
38 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
39 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
40 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
41 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
42 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
43 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
44
45 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
46 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
47 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
48 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
49
50 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
51 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
52 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
53 without Event, which freezes).
54
55 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
56 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
57
58 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
59 - some tests for Event.
60 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
61 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
62 new ones.
63 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
64 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
65
66 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
67 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
68 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
69 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
70
71 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
72 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
73 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
74 error.
75 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
76 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
77 - implemented terminate with args + join.
78
79 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
80 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
81 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
82 in various modules.
83 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
84 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
85
86 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
87 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
88 inside Coro::Handle.
89 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
90 speed reasons.
91 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
92 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
93 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
94 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
95 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
96 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
97 under some circumstances.
98 - other bugfixes.
99
100 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
101 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
102 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
103 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
104 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
105 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
106 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
107 syntax.
108 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
109 - new simple priority system.
110 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
111 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
112
113 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
114 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
115 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
116 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
117 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
118 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
119 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
120 "Callback called exit" messages).
121 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
122 - much better Coro::Socket support.
123
124 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
125 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
126 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
127 should work well in practise ;)
128 - added Coro::RWLock.
129 - Coro::Specific now works.
130
131 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
132 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
133 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
134 - new module Coro::Socket.
135
136 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
137 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
138 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
139 for yield.
140 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
141 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
142 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
143 perl-5.6.
144 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
145 - the idle process is now overriden
146 by default in Coro::Event.
147 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
148 - canceling events now works in all cases.
149 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
150 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
151 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
152 non-blocking i/o.
153 - performance tuning.
154
155 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
156 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
157 - add Coro::State::flush function.
158 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
159 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
160 - continuations have a saner syntax.
161 - no more memleaks.
162
163 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
164 - release candidate 1 ;)
165 - slightly nicer code.
166 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
167
168 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
169 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
170 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
171 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
172 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
173 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
174 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
175
176 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
177 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
178 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
179
180 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
181 - @_ is now properly localized.
182 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
183 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
184 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
185 coroutine-specific vars.
186 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
187
188 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
189 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
190 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
191 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
192 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
193 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
194 model. Still crude and subject to change.
195 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
196
197 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
198 - implemented "async" attribute.
199 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
200 - added Coro::Channel.
201 - more testcases, still no docs.
202
203 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
204 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
205
