10 | 5.0 |
13 | |
|
|
14 | 5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009 |
|
|
15 | - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by |
|
|
16 | Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). |
|
|
17 | - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker. |
|
|
18 | |
|
|
19 | 5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009 |
|
|
20 | - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via |
|
|
21 | AnyEvent::Socket instead. |
|
|
22 | - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores. |
|
|
23 | - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic |
|
|
24 | to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf). |
|
|
25 | - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent. |
|
|
26 | - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures, |
|
|
27 | reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno. |
|
|
28 | - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering |
|
|
29 | (Coro::State::enable_times). |
|
|
30 | |
|
|
31 | 5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009 |
|
|
32 | - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent, |
|
|
33 | as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle, |
|
|
34 | idle_upto). |
|
|
35 | - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions. |
|
|
36 | - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages. |
|
|
37 | - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to |
|
|
38 | avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those |
|
|
39 | had already been freed. |
|
|
40 | - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore. |
|
|
41 | - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked |
|
|
42 | list instead of an array (~5-10%). |
|
|
43 | - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells. |
|
|
44 | - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage. |
|
|
45 | - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or |
|
|
46 | Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing |
|
|
47 | (the same is true for Coro::Handle). |
|
|
48 | - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once. |
|
|
49 | - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle. |
|
|
50 | - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend |
|
|
51 | (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto). |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | 5.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009 |
|
|
54 | - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in |
|
|
55 | Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later. |
|
|
56 | - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options, |
|
|
57 | should support a prepare callback. |
|
|
58 | |
|
|
59 | 5.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009 |
|
|
60 | - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume. |
|
|
61 | - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close |
|
|
62 | the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn). |
|
|
63 | |
|
|
64 | 5.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008 |
|
|
65 | - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave). |
|
|
66 | - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid |
|
|
67 | spurious warnings. |
|
|
68 | - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet. |
|
|
69 | - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly. |
|
|
70 | - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods. |
|
|
71 | - take advantage of the new Guard module. |
|
|
72 | - deprecate Coro::guard. |
|
|
73 | - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when |
|
|
74 | testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test. |
|
|
75 | - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable. |
|
|
76 | - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval. |
|
|
77 | - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one |
|
|
78 | when temporarily switching to another coroutine. |
|
|
79 | - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction, |
|
|
80 | to avoid needless segfaults. |
|
|
81 | |
|
|
82 | 5.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008 |
|
|
83 | - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug |
|
|
84 | compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing |
|
|
85 | openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :). |
|
|
86 | - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't |
|
|
87 | seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval "" |
|
|
88 | inside a function called from multiple coroutines. |
|
|
89 | - use a different method to detect destruction time. |
|
|
90 | - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global |
|
|
91 | destruction. |
|
|
92 | - fixed and expanded the call/cc example. |
|
|
93 | - renamed _terminate to _coro_run. |
|
|
94 | - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown. |
|
|
95 | - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will |
|
|
96 | pthreads fare better?). |
|
|
97 | - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine. |
|
|
98 | |
|
|
99 | 5.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008 |
|
|
100 | - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly |
|
|
101 | working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than |
|
|
102 | it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :( |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | 5.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008 |
|
|
105 | - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro. |
|
|
106 | - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. |
|
|
107 | - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors |
|
|
108 | and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. |
|
|
109 | - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking |
|
|
110 | LWP data transfers. |
|
|
111 | - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more |
|
|
112 | correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state |
|
|
113 | objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. |
|
|
114 | - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. |
|
|
115 | - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably |
|
|
116 | doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub). |
|
|
117 | - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done. |
|
|
118 | - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle. |
|
|
119 | - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers |
|
|
120 | do not have this method (and don't need it either). |
|
|
121 | - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse |
|
|
122 | callbacks. |
|
|
123 | - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and |
|
|
124 | others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace |
|
|
125 | through the idle threads now. |
|
|
126 | - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables. |
|
|
127 | - eg/event was pretty broken. |
|
|
128 | - better 5.8.6 compatibility. |
|
|
129 | |
|
