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?

63.5
7 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
8 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
9 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
10 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
11 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
12 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.

15 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
16 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
17 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
18 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
19 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
20 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
21 obsolete platforms.
22
233.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
24 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
25 but was rather flaky in practise.
26 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
27 it was reused.
28 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
29 in cede_notself.
30
313.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
32 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
33 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
34 documented and - hopefully - improved.
35 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
36 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
37 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
38 that could errronously trigger.
39 - fix various large and small memleaks.
40 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
41 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
42 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
43 - added Coro::guard function.
44 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
45 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
46 and 128k coros with async_pool).
47 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
48
493.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
50 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
51 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
52 - simplify configuration for users.
53 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
54 their coro replacements.
55
563.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
57 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
58 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
59 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
60 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
61 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
62 - save/restore tainted status.
63 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
64
653.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
66 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
67 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
68 - give a better error message on deadlock.
69 - document Coro::nready.
70 - enhanced testsuite.
71
723.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
73 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
74
753.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
76 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
77 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
7 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. 78 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
79 pool (size currently hardcoded).
8 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). 80 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
9 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. 81 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
10 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 82 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
11 Event watchers were used directly. 83 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
84 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
85 check for changed watchers.
86 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
87 per event.
12 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 88 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
89 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
90 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
91 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
92 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
13 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now 93 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
14 without going through a _coro_state member. 94 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
15 - state/coro switching is much faster now. 95 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
16 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 96 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
17 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 97 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
18 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 98 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
19 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 99 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
20 - updated to newest libcoro. 100 - updated to newest libcoro.
101 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
102 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
103 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
104 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
105 if somebody asks for it :)
106 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
107 spuriously without the event having happened.

23 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 110 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
24 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 111 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
25 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 112 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
