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
5TODO: fast reloads in cf cause segfaults (coro_state_free->destroy->crash) 5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

73.41 84.0
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - unbelievable, but true: $_, $@ and many other "saved" variables
13 actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, of course,
14 while increasing performance while losing all the save flags.
15 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
16 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
17 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
18 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
19 - added Coro::killall.
20 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
21 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
22 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
23 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
24 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
25 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
26 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
27 - all internal members are named _something for easier subclassing.
28 - many minor tweaks.

303.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
31 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
32
333.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
34 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
35 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
36
373.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
38 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
39 pst's sometimes.
40 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
41 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
42 be threadsafe...).
43 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
44 but stateful semantics.
45 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
46 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
47
483.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
49 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
50 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
51 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
52 (EXPERIMENTAL).
53 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
54 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
55 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
56 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
57
583.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
59 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
60 it by default.
61 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
62 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
63 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
64 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
65 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
66 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
67 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
68 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
69 performance.
70
713.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
72 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
73 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
74
753.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
76 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
77 them without asking.
78
793.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
80 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
81 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
82 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
83 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
84 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
85 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
86
873.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
8 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/, 88 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
9 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error. 89 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
90 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
91 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
92 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
93 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
94 obsolete platforms.
