6.1.0

Changes since 6.0.x

New features

• ext-sockets support can now be manually disabled by passing --without-pmmpthread-sockets to configure. Previously, socket support was decided based on whether ext-sockets was present or not.
• Added Thread::getRunningCount() - returns the number of threads started by pmmpthread (does not include the main thread)

Fixes

• Fixed OPcache protected memory violation (and probable crash) when setting ThreadSafe properties in weak mode (causing them to be coerced)
• Fixed race condition on monitor states causing sporadic test failures and probably random issues in production
• Reduce likelihood of known race conditions with map_ptr occurring (these are difficult to fix but can be mitigated to some extent in the meantime)
• Fixed race condition Worker::isTerminated() sometimes reporting false after Worker::collect() retrieved a task whose isTerminated() was set to true (this caused some flaky behaviour in the test suite)

Other changes

• Restructure CI workflows to make them easier to maintain
• Use opcache.protect_memory=1 on CI to detect OPcache protected memory violations
• Disable fail-fast on Actions workflows

6.0.12

Changes since 6.0.11

• Worker now notifies itself when a task is ready for collection. This permits the use of wait() with a collect() precondition inside a synchronized block to wait for task completion (used in various tests).
• Fixed support for 8.3 typed constants and static variable initializers.

6.0.11

Changes since 6.0.10

• ThreadSafeArray now performs significantly better when used as a channel/queue (tracking of start and end).
• Rewritten and/or scrapped a bunch of examples to remove bad, outdated code and improve documentation.

6.0.10

Changes since 6.0.9

• Fixed use-after-free in copied closures containing static variables (#130)

6.0.9

Changes since 6.0.8

• Fixed crash and UNKNOWN:0 when reading an undefined offset of ThreadSafeArray
• ThreadSafeArray's ArrayAccess methods are now consistent with regular array-syntax operations. Previously, some errors such as non-thread-safe value errors were not generated by these functions.

6.0.8

Changes since 6.0.7

• Fixed usage of enum cases in class constants and property defaults causing segfaults.
• Removed unused cast_object handler causing crashes on PHP 8.3.0beta2.

6.0.7

Changes since 6.0.6

• Thread shutdown handlers are now called immediately when a thread's run() exits. Previously, this wouldn't happen until the parent thread called join() or stopped referencing the thread object.
• Thread::getCurrentThread() now works properly inside shutdown handlers (#68).
• Fixed potential global deadlock when inside a shutdown handler (#67).

6.0.6

Changes since 6.0.5

• Fixed compilation for PHP 8.3 as of php/php-src@1a0ef2c
• Improved error messages in exceptions thrown by Thread::start()

4.2.2

Changes since 4.2.1

• Improved error messages in exceptions thrown by Thread::start()
• Fixed compiler warning in pthreads_prepare_immutable_class_dependencies()

6.0.5

Changes since 6.0.4

• Fixed objects not being able to be passed to another thread once their creator thread no longer references them.
• Fixed crash when accessing nonexistent multi-dimensional offsets of ThreadSafeArray.
