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)).

63.5 84.02
9 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
10 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
11 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
12 or use tracing).
13 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
14
154.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
16 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
17 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
18
194.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
20 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
21 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
22 debugging, tracing and much more.
23 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
24 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
25 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
26 flags.
27 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
28 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
29 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
30 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
31 - added Coro::killall.
32 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
33 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
34 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
35 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
36 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
37 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
38 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
39 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
40 - many minor tweaks.
41
423.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
43 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
44
453.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
46 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
47 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
48
493.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
50 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
51 pst's sometimes.
52 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
53 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
54 be threadsafe...).
55 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
56 but stateful semantics.
57 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
58 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
59
603.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
61 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
62 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
63 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
64 (EXPERIMENTAL).
65 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
66 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
67 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
68 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
69
703.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
71 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
72 it by default.
73 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
74 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
75 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
76 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
77 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
78 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
79 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
80 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
81 performance.
82
833.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
84 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
85 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
86
873.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
88 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
89 them without asking.

8 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event. 93 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
9 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects. 94 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
10 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes. 95 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
96 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
97 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
