84.0 8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
9 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
10 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
11 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
12 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
13 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
14# - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
15# stuff in Coro::Util.
16 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
17 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
18
194.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
20 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
21 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
22 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
23 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
24 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
25 This also catches recursive invocations.
26 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
27
284.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
29 - port to threaded perls.

314.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
32 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
33 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
34 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
35 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
36 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
37 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
38 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
39 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
40 speeds up context switching a bit.
41 - further tune default stack sizes.
42 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
43 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
44 resulting in races between coroutines.
45 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
46 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
47 an unrelated coroutine.
48 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
49 more detail in Coro::State.
50 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
51 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
52 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
53 invalidating pointers.
54
554.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
56 - added Coro::throw method.
57 - minor code cleanups.
58
594.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
60 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
61 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
62 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
63 or use tracing).
64 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
65 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
66 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
67
684.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
69 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
70 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
71
724.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 73 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
