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).

103.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
11 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
12
133.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
14 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
15 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
16
173.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
18 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
19 pst's sometimes.
20 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
21 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
22 be threadsafe...).
23 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
24 but stateful semantics.
25 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
26 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
27
283.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
29 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
30 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
31 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
32 (EXPERIMENTAL).
33 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
34 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
35 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
36 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
37
383.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
39 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
40 it by default.
41 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
42 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
43 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
44 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
45 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
46 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
47 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
48 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
49 performance.
50
513.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
52 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
53 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
54
553.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
56 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
57 them without asking.
58
593.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
60 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
61 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
62 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
63 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
64 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
65 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
66
673.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
68 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
69 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
70 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
71 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
72 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
73 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
74 obsolete platforms.
75
763.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
77 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
78 but was rather flaky in practise.
79 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
80 it was reused.
81 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
82 in cede_notself.
83
843.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
85 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
86 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
87 documented and - hopefully - improved.
5 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority. 88 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
89 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
90 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
91 that could errronously trigger.
92 - fix various large and small memleaks.
93 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
94 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
95 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
96 - added Coro::guard function.
97 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
98 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
99 and 128k coros with async_pool).
100 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
