5 - made Coro::Util and Coro::Select use AnyEvent, moved to Coro/. 63.

13 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
14 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
15 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
16 pool (size currently hardcoded).
17 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
18 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
19 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
20 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
21 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
22 check for changed watchers.
23 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
24 per event.
25 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
26 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
27 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
28 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
29 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
30 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
31 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
32 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
33 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
34 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
35 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
36 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
37 - updated to newest libcoro.
38 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
39 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
40 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
41 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
42 if somebody asks for it :)
43 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
44 spuriously without the event having happened.

47 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
48 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
6 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 49 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
7 make LWP non-blocking. 50 make LWP non-blocking.
8 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). 51 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
9 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef. 52 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
10 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. 53 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
