3TODO: possibly convert some of the Event modules into AnyEvent users. 33.0
4 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
5 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
6 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm.
7 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
8 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
9 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
10 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
11 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
12 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
13 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
14 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
15 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
16 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
17 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
18 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
19 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
20 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
21 - updated to newest libcoro.
22 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
23 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
24 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
25 spuriously without the event having happened.

5TODO: eg/lwp to use Coro::Select 272.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
6TODO: Event/LWP.pm 28 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
7 - should compile with perl 5.9.x now. 29 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
30 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
31 make LWP non-blocking.
32 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
33 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
8 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. 34 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
9 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env. 35 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
10 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket. 36 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.

14 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's. 40 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
15 - made Coro::Util an AnyEvent user, moved it to Coro/.
16 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. coroutines that die 41 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
17 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main coroutine 42 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
