15 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
16 stability issues.
17 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
18 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
19 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
20 ("Attempt to unreference...").
21 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
22 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
23 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
24 it was available but waiters were waiting(.
25 - avoid deadlock in Coro::Channel if maxsize == 1 (Richard Hundt).
26 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
27 anymore.
28 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
29 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
30 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
31 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
32 those functions and atcually create new ones.
33 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
34 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
35 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
36 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
37 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
38 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a
39 factor of two.
40 - removed timed_down and timed_guard functions - they were not being
41 used anyways and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism -
42 and were annoying to support anyways :)
43 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a
44 factor of three.
45 - used new SLF interface to speed up Coro::AIO by roughly a factor of
46 four and reduce its memory usage considerably.
47 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
48 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
49 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).

56 - minor cleanups.
57 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
58 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
59 when destroyed.

11 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks. 65 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
12 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak). 66 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
