| 3 | TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective |
3 | 3.0 |
| 4 | TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines? |
4 | - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon: |
| 5 | TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies? |
5 | the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release). |

|
| 7 | - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. |
6 | - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack |

|
|
9 | - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. |
| 9 | - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but |
10 | - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but |
| 10 | Event watchers were used directly. |
11 | no Coro::Event watchers were used. |
|
|
12 | - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not |
|
|
13 | check for changed watchers. |
| 11 | - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. |

|
|
15 | - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub. |
|
|
16 | - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant. |
|
|
17 | - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under |
|
|
18 | some circumstances lead to stack corruption. |
| 12 | - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now |
19 | - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported |
| 13 | without going through a _coro_state member. |
20 | directly now without going through a _coro_state member. |
| 14 | - state/coro switching is much faster now. |

|
27 | - implement enhanced support for valgrind. |
|
|
28 | - implement is_ready and return value for ready. |
|
|
29 | - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return |
|
|
30 | spuriously without the event having happened. |
