4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
6TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
7 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
8 but very lacking in others).

11 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
12 pst's sometimes.
13 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
14 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
15 be threadsafe...).
16 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
17 but stateful semantics.
18 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
19 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
20
213.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
22 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
23 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
24 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
25 (EXPERIMENTAL).
26 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
27 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
28 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
29 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.

313.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
32 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
33 it by default.
34 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
35 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
36 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
37 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
38 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
39 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
40 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
41 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
42 performance.
43
443.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
45 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
46 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
47
483.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
49 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
50 them without asking.
51
523.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
53 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
54 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
55 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
56 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
57 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
58 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
59
603.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
61 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
62 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
63 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
64 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
65 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
66 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
67 obsolete platforms.
68
693.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
70 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
71 but was rather flaky in practise.
72 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
73 it was reused.
74 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
75 in cede_notself.
76
773.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
78 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
79 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
80 documented and - hopefully - improved.
81 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
82 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
83 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
84 that could errronously trigger.
85 - fix various large and small memleaks.
86 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
87 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
88 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
89 - added Coro::guard function.
90 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
91 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
92 and 128k coros with async_pool).
93 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
94
953.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
6 - improve portability to slightly older perls. 96 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
7 - use cleaner coroutine destruction. 97 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
8 - simplify configuration for users. 98 - simplify configuration for users.
9 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over 99 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
10 their coro replacements. 100 their coro replacements.
