3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: "internals mode"
5TODO: "use defaults for everything"

7 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
8 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.

103.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
11 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
12 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
13 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
14 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
15 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
16 - save/restore tainted status.
17 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
18
193.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
20 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
21 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
22 - give a better error message on deadlock.
23 - document Coro::nready.
24 - enhanced testsuite.
25
263.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
27 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
28
293.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
30 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
31 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
32 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
33 pool (size currently hardcoded).
34 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
35 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
36 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
37 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
38 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
39 check for changed watchers.
40 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
41 per event.
42 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
43 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
44 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
45 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
46 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
47 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
48 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
49 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
50 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
51 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
52 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
53 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
54 - updated to newest libcoro.
55 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
56 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
57 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
58 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
59 if somebody asks for it :)
60 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
61 spuriously without the event having happened.
62
632.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
64 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
65 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
66 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
67 make LWP non-blocking.
68 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
69 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
70 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
71 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
72 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
73 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
74 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
75 by LWP(!!).
76 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
77 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
78 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
79 did already.
80
812.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
82 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
83 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
84 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
85 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
86 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
87 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
88 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
89 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
90
912.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
92 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
93
941.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
95
961.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
97 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
98 mark & sweep gc run.
99 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
100
1011.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
102 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
103 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
104
1051.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
106 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
107 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
108 wrong package.
109 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
110 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
111 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
112 normally uses.
113 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
114
1151.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
116 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
117
1181.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
119 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
120 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
121 - strict'ify some modules.
122 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
123 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
124 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
125
1261.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
127 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
128 when 'l'inux method was used.
129
1301.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
131 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
132
1331.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
134 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
135 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
136 Coro::State::flush method.
137 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
138
1391.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
3 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability. 140 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
4 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation. 141 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
5 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support. 142 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
143 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
144 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.

15 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again. 154 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
16 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for 155 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
17 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. 156 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
