63.
7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine.
8 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
9 - give a better error message on deadlock.
10 - document Coro::nready.
11 - enhanced testsuite.

133.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
14 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
15
163.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
17 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
18 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
19 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
20 pool (size currently hardcoded).
21 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
22 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
23 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
24 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
25 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
26 check for changed watchers.
27 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
28 per event.
29 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
30 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
31 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
32 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
33 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
34 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
35 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
36 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
37 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
38 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
39 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
40 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
41 - updated to newest libcoro.
42 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
43 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
44 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
45 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
46 if somebody asks for it :)
47 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
48 spuriously without the event having happened.
49
502.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
51 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
52 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
53 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
54 make LWP non-blocking.
55 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
56 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
57 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
58 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
59 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
60 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
61 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
62 by LWP(!!).
63 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
64 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
65 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
66 did already.
67
682.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
69 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
70 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
71 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
72 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
73 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
74 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
75 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
76 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
77
782.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
79 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
80
811.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
82
831.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
84 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
85 mark & sweep gc run.
86 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
87
881.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
89 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
90 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
91
921.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
93 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
94 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
95 wrong package.
96 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
97 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
98 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
99 normally uses.
100 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
101
1021.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
103 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
104
1051.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
106 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
107 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
108 - strict'ify some modules.
109 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
110 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
111 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
112
1131.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
114 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
115 when 'l'inux method was used.

118 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
119
1201.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
121 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
122 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
123 Coro::State::flush method.
124 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
125
1261.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
3 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability. 127 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
4 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation. 128 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
5 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support. 129 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
6 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed. 130 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
131 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.

18 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. 143 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
