4TODO: "internals mode" 4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: "use defaults for everything" 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).

103.7
11 - added Coro::Debug, interactive coroutine debugging.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
15 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
17
183.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
19 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
20
213.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
22 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
23 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
24
253.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
26 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
27 pst's sometimes.
28 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
29 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
30 be threadsafe...).
31 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
32 but stateful semantics.
33 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
34 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
35
363.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
37 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
38 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
39 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
40 (EXPERIMENTAL).
41 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
42 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
43 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
44 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
45
463.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
47 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
48 it by default.
49 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
50 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
51 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
52 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
53 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
54 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
55 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
56 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
57 performance.
58
593.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
60 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
61 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
62
633.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
64 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
65 them without asking.
66
673.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
68 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
69 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
70 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
71 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
72 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
73 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
74
753.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
76 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
77 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
78 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
79 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
80 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
81 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
82 obsolete platforms.
83
843.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
85 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
86 but was rather flaky in practise.
87 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
88 it was reused.
89 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
90 in cede_notself.
91
923.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
93 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
94 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
95 documented and - hopefully - improved.
96 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
97 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
98 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
99 that could errronously trigger.
100 - fix various large and small memleaks.
101 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
102 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
103 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
104 - added Coro::guard function.
105 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
106 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
107 and 128k coros with async_pool).
108 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
109
1103.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
7 - improve portability to slightly older perls. 111 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
8 - use cleaner coroutine destruction. 112 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
113 - simplify configuration for users.
114 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
115 their coro replacements.
