9 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
10 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
11 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
12 - implement some other ยต-optimisations.

144.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
15 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
16
174.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
18 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
19 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
20 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
21 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
22 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
23
244.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
25 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
26 code reference).
27 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
28 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
29 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
30 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
31
324.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
33 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
34 in Coro::Storable.
35 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
36
374.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
38 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
39 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
40 outdated software). Reported by John S.
41
424.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
43 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
44 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
45 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
46
474.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
48 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
49 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
50 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
51
524.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
53 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
54 - require EV 3.3+.
55
564.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
57 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
58 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
59 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
60 stuff seems just too broken.
61 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
62
634.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
64 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
65 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
66
674.73 Thu May 29 2008
68 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
69 there being runnable coroutines.
70 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
71 warnings for some other modules.
72 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
73
744.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
75 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
76 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
77 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
78 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
79 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
80 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
81 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
82 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
83 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
84 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
85 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
86 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
87
884.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
89 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
90 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
91 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
92 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
93 scheduling.
94
954.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
96 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
97 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
98 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
99 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
100 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
101 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
102 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.

8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported 105 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
9 by the Coro module. It was a mistake. 106 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
107 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
108 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
10 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to, 109 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
11 actual impact unknown. 110 actual impact unknown.
