# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 root 1.113
3 root 1.218 TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4 root 1.226 TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5     (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 root 1.247 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7 root 1.173
8 root 1.295 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
9     (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
10     if available.
11 root 1.296 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
12 root 1.297 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
13 root 1.298 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
14 root 1.295
15 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
16 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
17     and Coro::Handle.
18    
19 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
20 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
21 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
22 root 1.290
23 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
24 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
25 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
26 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
27     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
28     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
29 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
30 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
31     directly supported by Coro.
32     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
33     stuff in Coro::Util.
34 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
35 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
36 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
37 root 1.282
38 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
39 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
40 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
41     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
42 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
43     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
44     This also catches recursive invocations.
45 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
46 root 1.277
47 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
48     - port to threaded perls.
49    
50 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
51 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
52     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
53 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
54     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
55 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
56     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
57     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
58     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
59     speeds up context switching a bit.
60 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
61 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
62 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
63     resulting in races between coroutines.
64     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
65 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
66     an unrelated coroutine.
67 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
68     more detail in Coro::State.
69 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
70     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
71 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
72     invalidating pointers.
73 root 1.264
74 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
75 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
76     - minor code cleanups.
77    
78 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
79 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
80 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
81     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
82     or use tracing).
83     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
84 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
85     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
86 root 1.258
87 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
88 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
89     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
90 root 1.255
91 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
92 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
93 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
94     debugging, tracing and much more.
95 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
96     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
97     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
98     flags.
99 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
100 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
101 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
102     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
103 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
104 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
105 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
106 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
107 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
108     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
109     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
110 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
111 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
112 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
113 root 1.232
114 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
115 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
116    
117 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
118     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
119 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
120 root 1.227
121 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
122 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
123     pst's sometimes.
124 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
125 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
126     be threadsafe...).
127     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
128     but stateful semantics.
129 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
130     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
131 root 1.223
132     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
133 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
134 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
135 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
136     (EXPERIMENTAL).
137 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
138     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
139     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
140     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
141 root 1.217
142 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
143 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
144     it by default.
145     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
146     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
147     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
148 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
149 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
150 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
151     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
152     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
153     performance.
154 root 1.211
155 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
156 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
157     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
158    
159 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
160     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
161     them without asking.
162    
163 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
164 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
165     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
166 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
167     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
168 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
169     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
170 root 1.204
171 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
172 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
173     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
174 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
175     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
176     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
177     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
178     obsolete platforms.
179 root 1.202
180 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
181 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
182     but was rather flaky in practise.
183 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
184     it was reused.
185 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
186     in cede_notself.
187 root 1.197
188 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
189 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
190 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
191     documented and - hopefully - improved.
192 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
193 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
194 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
195     that could errronously trigger.
196 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
197 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
198     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
199 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
200 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
201 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
202     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
203     and 128k coros with async_pool).
204 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
205 root 1.184
206 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
207 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
208 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
209 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
210     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
211     their coro replacements.
212 root 1.179
213 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
214     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
215     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
216     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
217     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
218     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
219     - save/restore tainted status.
220     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
221    
222 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
223     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
224 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
225 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
226 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
227 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
228 root 1.169
229 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
230     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
231    
232 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
233 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
234     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
235 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
236     pool (size currently hardcoded).
237 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
238 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
239 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
240 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
241 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
242     check for changed watchers.
243 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
244     per event.
245 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
246 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
247 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
248 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
249     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
250 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
251     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
252 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
253 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
254 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
255 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
256     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
257 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
258 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
259 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
260 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
261     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
262     if somebody asks for it :)
263 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
264     spuriously without the event having happened.
265 root 1.146
266 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
267 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
268     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
269 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
270     make LWP non-blocking.
271     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
272 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
273 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
274     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
275 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
276     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
277 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
278     by LWP(!!).
279     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
280 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
281     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
282     did already.
283 root 1.135
284 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
285     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
286     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
287 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
288     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
289     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
290 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
291 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
292 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
293 root 1.130
294 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
295 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
296    
297 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
298    
299 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
300 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
301     mark & sweep gc run.
302 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
303 root 1.125
304 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
305 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
306 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
307    
308 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
309 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
310 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
311 root 1.117 wrong package.
312 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
313     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
314 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
315     normally uses.
316 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
317 root 1.117
318 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
319     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
320    
321 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
322 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
323 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
324     - strict'ify some modules.
325 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
326 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
327     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
328 root 1.112
329 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
330     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
331     when 'l'inux method was used.
332

337 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
338 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
339     Coro::State::flush method.
340 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
341 root 1.106
342 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
343 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
344 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
345 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.

362     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
363    
364 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
365 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
366 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
367     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
368     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
369     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
370     fixable).
371 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
372 pcg 1.91
373 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
374 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
375     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
376 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
377 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
378     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
379     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
380     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
381 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
382 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
383 pcg 1.86
384 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
385 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
386     memory leaks.
387     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
388 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
389     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
390 pcg 1.84
391 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
392     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
393 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
394    
395 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
396     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
397     of new features.
398 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
399     Highly correct stuff, that is...
400 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
401     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

403 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
404 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
405 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
406 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
407     so preselect it.
408 root 1.76
409 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003

412 root 1.74
413 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
414 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
415     - new module Coro::Select.
416     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
417     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
418 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
419 root 1.72
420 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
421     - made lazy context switching the default.

423     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
424     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
425     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
426    
427 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
428 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
429 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
430     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
431     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
432     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
433     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
434 root 1.69
435 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
436     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
437     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
438     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
439    
440 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
441 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
442     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
443     without Event, which freezes).
444 root 1.65
445 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001

449 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
450 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
451     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
452     new ones.
453     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
454 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
455 root 1.60
456 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001

479 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
480     speed reasons.
481     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
482     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
483     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
484 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
485 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

528 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
529     for yield.
530 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
531 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
532 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in

558 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
559     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
560 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
561     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
562     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.

579 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
580     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
581     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
582 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
583 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
