32.1 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.3
7 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
8 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
9 documented and - hopefully - improved.
10 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
11 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
12 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
13 that could errronously trigger.
14 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
15 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
16 - added Coro::guard function.
17
183.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
19 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
20 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
21 - simplify configuration for users.
22 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
23 their coro replacements.
24
253.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
26 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
27 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
28 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
29 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
30 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
31 - save/restore tainted status.
32 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
33
343.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
35 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
36 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
37 - give a better error message on deadlock.
38 - document Coro::nready.
39 - enhanced testsuite.

413.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
42 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
43
443.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
45 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
46 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
47 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
48 pool (size currently hardcoded).
49 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
50 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
51 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
52 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
53 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
54 check for changed watchers.
55 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
56 per event.
57 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
58 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
59 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
60 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
61 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
62 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
63 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
64 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
65 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
66 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
67 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
68 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
69 - updated to newest libcoro.
70 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
71 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
72 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
73 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
74 if somebody asks for it :)
75 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
76 spuriously without the event having happened.
77
782.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
79 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
80 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
81 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
82 make LWP non-blocking.
83 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
84 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
85 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
86 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
87 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
88 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
89 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
90 by LWP(!!).
91 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
92 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
93 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
94 did already.
95
962.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
97 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
98 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
4 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists 99 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
5 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own). 100 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
6 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures. 101 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
102 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
7 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X, 103 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
