12 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use 4.912 for the stable version.
13 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
14 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
15 anymore.
16 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
17 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
18 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
19 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
20 those functions and atcually create new ones.
21 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
22 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
23 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
24 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
25 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.

274.912 Thu Nov 13 18:31:23 CET 2008
28 - minor cleanups.
29 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
30 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
31 when destroyed.

34 - "port" to threaded perls.

364.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008
37 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
38 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
39 - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field
40 (unknown impact).
41 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work
42 instead of being ignored.
43 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
44 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
45 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).

9 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there). 48 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).

11 also speed it up considerably. 50 also speed it up considerably.
51 - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
12 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile. 52 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
13 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly. 53 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
54 - Coro::State::cctx_stacksize wasn't applied correctly.
55 - new function Coro::State::cctx_max_idle.
56 - the default max number of idle C contexts is now 4.
57 - (libcoro) try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
14 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officialy 58 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officially
15 allow creation of empty source contexts. 59 allow the creation of empty source contexts.
60 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
61 - tried to hack around openbsd bugs.
