33.0 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: fast reloads in cf cause segfaults (coro_state_free->destroy->crash)

73.41
8 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
9 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
10
113.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
12 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
13 but was rather flaky in practise.
14 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
15 it was reused.
16 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
17 in cede_notself.
18
193.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
20 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
21 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
22 documented and - hopefully - improved.
23 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
24 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
25 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
26 that could errronously trigger.
27 - fix various large and small memleaks.
28 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
29 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
30 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
31 - added Coro::guard function.
32 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
33 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
34 and 128k coros with async_pool).
35 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
36
373.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
38 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
39 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
40 - simplify configuration for users.
41 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
42 their coro replacements.
43
443.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
45 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
46 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
47 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
48 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
49 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
50 - save/restore tainted status.
51 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
52
533.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
54 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
55 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
56 - give a better error message on deadlock.
57 - document Coro::nready.
58 - enhanced testsuite.

603.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
61 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
62
633.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
64 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
65 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
4 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. 66 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
67 pool (size currently hardcoded).
5 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). 68 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
6 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. 69 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 70 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 Event watchers were used directly. 71 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
72 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
73 check for changed watchers.
74 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
75 per event.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 76 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
77 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
78 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
79 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
80 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
10 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now 81 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
11 without going through a _coro_state member. 82 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
12 - state/coro switching is much faster now. 83 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
13 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 84 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
14 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 85 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
15 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 86 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
16 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 87 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
17 - updated to newest libcoro. 88 - updated to newest libcoro.
18 - implement enhanced support for valgrind. 89 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
90 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
91 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
92 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
93 if somebody asks for it :)
94 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
95 spuriously without the event having happened.

21 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 98 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
22 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 99 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
23 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 100 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
