10 - avoid deadlock in Coro::Channel if maxsize == 1 (Richard Hundt).

9 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use 4.912 for the stable version. 13 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
14 stability issues.
10 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
16 - removed timed_* functions - they were not being used anyways
17 and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism -
18 and were annoying to support anyways :)
19 - removed SemaphoreSet's waiter method - use sem instead.
20 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
21 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
22 ("Attempt to unreference...").
23 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
24 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
25 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
26 it was available but waiters were waiting(.
27 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
28 anymore.
29 - use named constants in Coro::Channel (Richard Hundt).
11 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling ssl functions (cede, 30 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
12 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching by 31 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
13 up to 10%. More importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded 32 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
14 behaviour of entersub, so we might actually be able to return 33 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
15 something from those functions. 34 those functions and atcually create new ones.
16 - take advanatge of __builtin_frame_address on gcc. 35 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
17 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision). 36 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
37 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
38 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
39 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
40 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a
41 factor of two.
42 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a
43 factor of three.
44 - used new SLF interface to speed up Coro::AIO by roughly a factor of
45 four and reduce its memory usage considerably.
46 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore,
47 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement
48 a new method "sem" to get at the underlying semaphore object.
49 - implement Coro::Channel in terms of Coro::Semaphore, for a moderate
50 (in comparison) 20-40% speedup.
51 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
52 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
53 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).
