25 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where 25 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
26 it was available but waiters were waiting(. 26 it was available but waiters were still blocked).
27 - calling throw on a coroutine that is waiting for a semaphore will
28 no longer make it acquire the semaphore (and thus leak a count).

31 - new functions Coro::rouse_cb and Coro::rouse_wait.
32 - new function Coro::Semaphore::wait.
29 - use named constants in Coro::Channel (Richard Hundt). 33 - use named constants in Coro::Channel (Richard Hundt).
30 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede, 34 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,

45 four and reduce its memory usage considerably. 49 four and reduce its memory usage considerably.
46 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore, 50 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore,
47 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement 51 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement
48 a new method "sem" to get at the underlying semaphore object. 52 a new method "sem" to get at the underlying semaphore object.
53 - implement Coro::Channel in terms of Coro::Semaphore, for a moderate
54 (in comparison) 20-40% speedup.
55 - used new SLF interface to reimplement Coro::Signal gaining
56 some unknown (because I was too lazy), but certain, speedup, and also
57 making signals reliable for the first time.
49 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years. 58 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.

51 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd). 60 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).
61 - use new rouse functions to speed up and simplify Coro::BDB.
62 - make "prefer perl native functions" work with threaded perls.
63 - (libcoro) lots of minor cleanups and portability improvements.
