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)).

63.52 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.

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.
7 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore. 76 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
8 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize. 77 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
9 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context, 78 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
10 which can dramatically improve performance, but people 79 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
11 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about 80 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
