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 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
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 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
15 about 2-5% speed improvement here.

174.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
18 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
19 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.

214.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
22 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
23 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
24 debugging, tracing and much more.
25 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
26 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
27 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
28 flags.
29 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
30 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
31 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
32 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
33 - added Coro::killall.
34 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
35 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
36 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
37 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
38 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
39 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
40 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
41 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
42 - many minor tweaks.
43
443.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
45 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
46
473.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
48 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
49 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
50
513.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
52 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
53 pst's sometimes.
54 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
55 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
56 be threadsafe...).
57 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
58 but stateful semantics.
59 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
60 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
61
623.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
63 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
64 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
65 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
66 (EXPERIMENTAL).
67 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
68 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
69 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
70 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
71
723.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
73 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
74 it by default.
75 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
76 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
77 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
78 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
79 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
80 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
81 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
82 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
83 performance.
84
853.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
86 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
87 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
88
893.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
90 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
91 them without asking.

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