85.0 8TODO: suspend/resume, unready_all etc.
9 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
10 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
11 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).

135.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
14 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
15 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
16 spurious warnings.
17 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
18 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
19 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
20 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
21 - deprecate Coro::guard.
22 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
23 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
24 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
25 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
26 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
27 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
28 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
29 to avoid needless segfaults.

315.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
32 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
33 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
34 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
35 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
36 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
37 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
38 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
39 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
40 destruction.
41 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
42 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
43 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
44 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
45 pthreads fare better?).
46 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.

485.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
49 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
50 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
51 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
52
535.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
54 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
55 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
56 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
57 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
58 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
59 LWP data transfers.
60 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
61 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
62 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
63 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
64 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
65 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
66 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
67 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
68 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
69 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
70 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
71 callbacks.
72 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
73 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
74 through the idle threads now.
75 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
76 - eg/event was pretty broken.
77 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
