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?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?

6 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
7 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
8 documented and - hopefully - improved.
9 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
10 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
11 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
12 that could errronously trigger.

143.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
15 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
16 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
17 - simplify configuration for users.
18 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
19 their coro replacements.

213.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
22 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
23 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
24 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
25 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
26 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
27 - save/restore tainted status.
28 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.

303.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
31 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
32 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
33 - give a better error message on deadlock.
34 - document Coro::nready.
35 - enhanced testsuite.

38 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

403.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
41 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
42 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
43 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
44 pool (size currently hardcoded).
45 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
46 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 47 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 Event watchers were used directly. 48 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
49 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
50 check for changed watchers.
51 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
52 per event.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 53 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
54 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
55 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
56 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
57 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
10 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now 58 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
11 without going through a _coro_state member. 59 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
12 - process swicthing is much faster now. 60 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
13 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 61 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
14 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 62 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
15 - possibly better support for threads.
16 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 63 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
17 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 64 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
65 - updated to newest libcoro.
66 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
67 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
68 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
69 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
70 if somebody asks for it :)
71 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
72 spuriously without the event having happened.

20 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 75 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
21 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 76 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
22 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 77 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
