84.0 84.1
9 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
10 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
11 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
12 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
13 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
14 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
15 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
16 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
17 speeds up context switching a bit.
18 - further tune default stack sizes.
19 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
20 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
21 resulting in races between coroutines.
22 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
23 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
24 an unrelated coroutine.
25 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
26 more detail in Coro::State.
27 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
28 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
29 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
30 invalidating pointers.

324.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
33 - added Coro::throw method.
34 - minor code cleanups.
35
364.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
37 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
38 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
39 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
40 or use tracing).
41 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
42 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
43 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
44
454.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
46 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
47 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.

494.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 50 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.

13 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, 54 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
