9 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use 4.912 for the stable version.
10 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
11 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
12 - async_poll did free a scalar value twice.
13 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
14 anymore.
15 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
16 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
17 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
18 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
19 those functions and atcually create new ones.
20 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
21 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
22 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
23 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
24 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
25 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV (it's roughly
26 twice as fast now).
27 - removed timed_down and timed_guard functions - they were not being used
28 anyways and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism.

31 - minor cleanups.
32 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
33 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
34 when destroyed.

37 - "port" to threaded perls.

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

63 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
