3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO. 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

73.61 8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
9
104.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
11 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
12 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
13 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
14 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
15 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
16 This also catches recursive invocations.
17 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
18
194.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
20 - port to threaded perls.
21
224.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
23 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
24 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
25 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
26 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
27 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
28 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
29 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
30 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
31 speeds up context switching a bit.
32 - further tune default stack sizes.
33 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
34 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
35 resulting in races between coroutines.
36 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
37 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
38 an unrelated coroutine.
39 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
40 more detail in Coro::State.
41 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
42 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
43 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
44 invalidating pointers.
45
464.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
47 - added Coro::throw method.
48 - minor code cleanups.
49
504.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
51 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
52 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
53 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
54 or use tracing).
55 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
56 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
57 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
58
594.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
60 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
61 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
62
634.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
64 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
65 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
66 debugging, tracing and much more.
67 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
68 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
69 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
70 flags.
71 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
72 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
73 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
74 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
75 - added Coro::killall.
76 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
77 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
78 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
79 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
80 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
81 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
82 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
83 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
84 - many minor tweaks.
85
863.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
87 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
88
893.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
90 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
91 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
92
933.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
94 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
95 pst's sometimes.

101 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
102 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
