3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines? 4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?

7 - minor documentation cleanup. 6 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
7 but was rather flaky in practise.
8 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
9 it was reused.
10 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
11 in cede_notself.

133.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
14 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
15 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
16 documented and - hopefully - improved.
17 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
18 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
19 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
20 that could errronously trigger.
21 - fix various large and small memleaks.
22 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
23 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
24 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
25 - added Coro::guard function.
26 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
27 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
28 and 128k coros with async_pool).
29 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.

313.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
32 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
33 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
34 - simplify configuration for users.
35 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
36 their coro replacements.
37
383.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
39 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
40 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
41 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
42 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
43 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
44 - save/restore tainted status.
45 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
46
473.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
48 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
49 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
50 - give a better error message on deadlock.
51 - document Coro::nready.
52 - enhanced testsuite.
53
543.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
55 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
56
573.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
58 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
59 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
60 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
61 pool (size currently hardcoded).
62 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
63 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
64 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
65 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
66 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
67 check for changed watchers.
68 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
69 per event.
70 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
71 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
72 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
73 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
74 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
75 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
76 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
77 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
8 - verys minor optimisations and cleanups. 78 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
79 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
80 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
81 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
82 - updated to newest libcoro.
83 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
84 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
85 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
86 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
87 if somebody asks for it :)
88 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
89 spuriously without the event having happened.

11 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 92 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
12 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 93 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
