3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?

7 - minor documentation cleanup.

92.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
10 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
11 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
12 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
13 make LWP non-blocking.
14 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
15 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
16 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
17 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
18 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
19 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
20 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
21 by LWP(!!).
22 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
23 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
24 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
25 did already.
26
272.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
28 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
29 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
30 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
31 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
32 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
33 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
34 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
35 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
36
372.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
38 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
39
401.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
41
421.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
43 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
44 mark & sweep gc run.
45 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
46
471.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
48 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
49 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
50
511.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
52 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
53 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
54 wrong package.
55 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
56 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
57 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
58 normally uses.
59 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
60
611.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
62 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
63
641.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
65 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
66 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
67 - strict'ify some modules.
68 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
69 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
70 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
71
721.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
73 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
74 when 'l'inux method was used.
75
761.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
77 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
78
791.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
80 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
81 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
82 Coro::State::flush method.
83 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
84
851.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
86 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
87 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
88 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
89 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
90 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
91
921.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
93 - change of contact address.
94
951.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
96 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
97 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
98
991.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
100 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
101 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
102 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
103
1040.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
105 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
106
1070.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
108 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
