7 - give a better error message on deadlock.
8 - enhanced testsuite.

11 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

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

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

76 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
