# Content
1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2
3 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
4 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
5
6 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
7 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
8 memory leaks.
9 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
10 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
11 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
12
13 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
14 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
15 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
16
17 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
18 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
19 of new features.
20 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
21 Highly correct stuff, that is...
22 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
23 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
24
25 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
26 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
27 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
28 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
29 so preselect it.
30
31 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
32 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
33 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
34
35 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
36 - added a README.linux-glibc.
37 - new module Coro::Select.
38 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
39 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
40 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
41
42 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
43 - made lazy context switching the default.
44 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
45 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
46 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
47 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
48
49 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
50 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
51 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
52 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
53 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
54 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
55 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
56
57 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
58 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
59 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
60 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
61
62 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
63 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
64 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
65 without Event, which freezes).
66
67 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
68 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
69
70 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
71 - some tests for Event.
72 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
73 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
74 new ones.
75 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
76 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
77
78 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
79 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
80 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
81 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
82
83 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
84 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
85 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
86 error.
87 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
88 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
89 - implemented terminate with args + join.
90
91 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
92 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
93 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
94 in various modules.
95 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
96 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
97
98 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
99 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
100 inside Coro::Handle.
101 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
102 speed reasons.
103 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
104 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
105 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
106 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
107 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
108 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
109 under some circumstances.
110 - other bugfixes.
111
112 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
113 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
114 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
115 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
116 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
117 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
118 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
119 syntax.
120 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
121 - new simple priority system.
122 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
123 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
124
125 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
126 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
127 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
128 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
129 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
130 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
131 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
132 "Callback called exit" messages).
133 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
134 - much better Coro::Socket support.
135
136 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
137 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
138 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
139 should work well in practise ;)
140 - added Coro::RWLock.
141 - Coro::Specific now works.
142
143 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
144 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
145 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
146 - new module Coro::Socket.
147
148 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
149 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
150 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
151 for yield.
152 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
153 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
154 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
155 perl-5.6.
156 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
157 - the idle process is now overriden
158 by default in Coro::Event.
159 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
160 - canceling events now works in all cases.
161 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
162 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
163 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
164 non-blocking i/o.
165 - performance tuning.
166
167 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
168 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
169 - add Coro::State::flush function.
170 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
171 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
172 - continuations have a saner syntax.
173 - no more memleaks.
174
175 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
176 - release candidate 1 ;)
177 - slightly nicer code.
178 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
179
180 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
181 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
182 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
183 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
184 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
185 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
186 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
187
188 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
189 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
190 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
191
192 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
193 - @_ is now properly localized.
194 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
195 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
196 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
197 coroutine-specific vars.
198 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
199
200 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
201 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
202 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
203 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
204 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
205 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
206 model. Still crude and subject to change.
207 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
208
209 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
210 - implemented "async" attribute.
211 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
212 - added Coro::Channel.
213 - more testcases, still no docs.
214
215 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
216 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
217
