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?
6
7 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm.
8 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
9 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
10 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
11 Event watchers were used directly.
12 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
13 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now
14 without going through a _coro_state member.
15 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
16 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
17 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
18 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
19 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
20 - updated to newest libcoro.
21
222.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
23 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
24 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
25 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
26 make LWP non-blocking.
27 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
28 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
29 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
30 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
31 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
32 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
33 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
34 by LWP(!!).
35 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
36 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
37 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
38 did already.
39
402.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
41 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
42 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
43 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
44 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
45 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
46 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
47 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
48 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.

502.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
51 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
52
531.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
54
551.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
56 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
57 mark & sweep gc run.
58 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
59
601.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
61 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
62 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
63
641.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
65 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
66 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
67 wrong package.
68 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
69 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
70 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
71 normally uses.
72 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
73
741.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
75 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
76
771.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
78 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
79 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
80 - strict'ify some modules.
81 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
82 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
83 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
84
851.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
86 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
87 when 'l'inux method was used.
