3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?) 4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

63.3 84.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
13 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
14 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
15 flags.
16 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
17 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
18 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
19 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
20 - added Coro::killall.
21 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
22 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
23 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
24 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
25 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
26 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
27 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
28 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
29 - many minor tweaks.
30
313.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
32 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
33
343.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
35 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
36 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
37
383.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
39 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
40 pst's sometimes.
41 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
42 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
43 be threadsafe...).
44 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
45 but stateful semantics.
46 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
47 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
48
493.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
50 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
51 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
52 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
53 (EXPERIMENTAL).
54 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
55 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
56 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
57 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
58
593.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
60 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
61 it by default.
62 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
63 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
64 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
65 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
66 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
67 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
68 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
69 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
70 performance.
71
723.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
73 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
74 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
75
763.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
77 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
78 them without asking.
79
803.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
81 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
82 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
83 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
84 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
85 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
86 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
87
883.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
89 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
90 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
91 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
92 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
93 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
94 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
95 obsolete platforms.
96
973.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
98 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
99 but was rather flaky in practise.
100 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
101 it was reused.
102 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
103 in cede_notself.
104
1053.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007

8 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed, 107 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
9 documented and - hopefully - improved. 108 documented and - hopefully - improved.
10 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority. 109 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.

12 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te") 111 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
13 that could errronously trigger. 112 that could errronously trigger.
14 - fix various large and small memleaks. 113 - fix various large and small memleaks.

16 that immediately frees the coroutine data. 115 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
116 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
17 - added Coro::guard function. 117 - added Coro::guard function.
18 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine, 118 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
19 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async, 119 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
20 and 128k coros with async_pool). 120 and 128k coros with async_pool).
121 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
