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?

5 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.

73.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
8 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
9 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
10 - simplify configuration for users.
11 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
12 their coro replacements.

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

233.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
25 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
26 - give a better error message on deadlock.
27 - document Coro::nready.
28 - enhanced testsuite.

31 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
32
333.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
34 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
35 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
7 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. 36 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
37 pool (size currently hardcoded).
8 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). 38 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
9 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. 39 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
10 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 40 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
11 Event watchers were used directly. 41 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
42 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
43 check for changed watchers.
44 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
45 per event.
12 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 46 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
47 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
48 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
49 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
50 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
13 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now 51 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
14 without going through a _coro_state member. 52 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
15 - state/coro switching is much faster now. 53 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
16 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 54 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
17 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 55 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
18 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 56 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
19 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 57 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
20 - updated to newest libcoro. 58 - updated to newest libcoro.
59 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
60 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
61 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
62 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
63 if somebody asks for it :)
64 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
65 spuriously without the event having happened.

23 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 68 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
24 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 69 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
25 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 70 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
