9 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
10 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
11 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
12 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
13 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
14 This also catches recursive invocations.
15 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.

18 - port to threaded perls.

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

444.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
45 - added Coro::throw method.
46 - minor code cleanups.
47
484.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
49 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
50 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
51 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
52 or use tracing).
53 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
54 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
55 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
