53.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
6 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
7 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
8 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
9 pool (size currently hardcoded).
10 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
11 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
12 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
13 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
14 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
15 check for changed watchers.
16 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
17 per event.
18 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
19 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
20 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
21 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
22 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
23 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
24 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
25 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
26 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
27 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
28 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
29 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
30 - updated to newest libcoro.
31 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
32 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
33 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
34 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
35 if somebody asks for it :)
36 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
37 spuriously without the event having happened.

392.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
40 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
41 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
42 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
43 make LWP non-blocking.
44 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
45 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
46 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
47 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
48 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
49 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
50 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
51 by LWP(!!).
52 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
53 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
54 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
55 did already.
56
572.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
58 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
59 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
60 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
61 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
62 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
63 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
64 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
65 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
66
672.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
68 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.

701.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
71
721.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
73 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
74 mark & sweep gc run.
75 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
