115.0
12 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use 4.912 for the stable version.
13 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
14 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
15 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
16 ("Attempt to unreference...").
17 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
18 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
19 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
20 it was available but waiters were waiting(.
21 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
22 anymore.
23 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
24 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
25 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
26 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
27 those functions and atcually create new ones.
28 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
29 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
30 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
31 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
32 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
33 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a factor
34 of two.
35 - removed timed_down and timed_guard functions - they were not being used
36 anyways and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism - and were
37 annoying to support anyways :
38 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a factor
39 of three.
40 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
41 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
42 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).

45 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
46 ("Attempt to unreference...").

484.912 Thu Nov 13 18:31:23 CET 2008
49 - minor cleanups.
50 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
51 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
52 when destroyed.
53
544.911 Tue Nov 11 04:26:17 CET 2008
55 - "port" to threaded perls.
56
574.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008
58 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
59 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
60 - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field
61 (unknown impact).
9 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work 62 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work
10 instead of being ignored. 63 instead of being ignored.
11 - typo: new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field 64 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
12 (unknown impact).
13 - clean up cctx creation code a bit. 65 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
66 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).

16 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there). 69 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
17 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend, 70 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
