8TODO: testcancel
9TODO: guard as SLF - to avoid deadlocks.
10 - avoid deadlock in Coro::Channel if maxsize == 1 (Richard Hundt).
11
125.0
13 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
14 stability issues.
15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
16 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
17 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
18 ("Attempt to unreference...").
19 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
20 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
21 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
22 it was available but waiters were waiting(.
23 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
24 anymore.
25 - use named constants in Coro::Channel (Richard Hundt).
26 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
27 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
28 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
29 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
30 those functions and atcually create new ones.
31 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
32 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
33 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
34 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
35 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
36 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a
37 factor of two.
38 - removed timed_down and timed_guard functions - they were not being
39 used anyways and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism -
40 and were annoying to support anyways :)
41 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a
42 factor of three.
43 - used new SLF interface to speed up Coro::AIO by roughly a factor of
44 four and reduce its memory usage considerably.
45 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
46 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
47 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).

9 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8. 55 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
56 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
57 when destroyed.
