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.

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.

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.
4 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists 71 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
5 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own). 72 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
6 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures. 73 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
74 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
