5 - should compile with perl 5.9.x now. 53.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
7 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
8 - give a better error message on deadlock.
9 - document Coro::nready.
10 - enhanced testsuite.

13 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

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

492.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
50 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
51 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
52 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
53 make LWP non-blocking.
54 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
55 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
56 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
57 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
58 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
59 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
60 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
61 by LWP(!!).
62 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
63 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
64 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
65 did already.
