3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines? 4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?

7 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
8
93.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
10 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
11 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
12
133.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
14 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
15 them without asking.
16
173.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
18 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
19 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
20 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
21 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
22 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
23 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
24
253.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
26 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
27 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
28 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
29 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
30 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
31 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
32 obsolete platforms.
33
343.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
35 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
36 but was rather flaky in practise.
37 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
38 it was reused.
39 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
40 in cede_notself.
41
423.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
43 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
44 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
45 documented and - hopefully - improved.
46 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
47 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
48 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
49 that could errronously trigger.
50 - fix various large and small memleaks.
51 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
52 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
53 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
54 - added Coro::guard function.
55 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
56 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
57 and 128k coros with async_pool).
58 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
59
603.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
61 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
62 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
63 - simplify configuration for users.
64 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
65 their coro replacements.
66
673.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
68 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
69 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
70 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
71 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
72 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
73 - save/restore tainted status.
74 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
75
763.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
78 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
79 - give a better error message on deadlock.
80 - document Coro::nready.
81 - enhanced testsuite.
82
833.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
84 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
85
863.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
87 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
88 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
89 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
90 pool (size currently hardcoded).
91 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
92 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 93 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 Event watchers were used directly. 94 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
95 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
96 check for changed watchers.
97 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
98 per event.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 99 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
10 - minor documentation cleanup. 100 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
101 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
102 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
103 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
104 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
105 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
106 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
11 - very minor optimisations and cleanups. 107 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
108 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
109 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
110 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
111 - updated to newest libcoro.
112 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
113 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
114 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
115 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
116 if somebody asks for it :)
117 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
118 spuriously without the event having happened.

14 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 121 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
15 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 122 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
