8 TODO: Coro/Intro 85.13
9 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
10 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
11 spurious warnings.
12 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
13 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
14 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
15 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
16 - deprecate Coro::guard.
17 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
18 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
19 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
20 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
21 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
22 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
23 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction.

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

425.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
43 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
44 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
45 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

9 - wrote a small introduction - Coro::Intro. 48 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
10 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 49 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
11 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 50 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
12 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 51 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
52 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
53 LWP data transfers.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 54 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
14 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 55 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
15 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. 56 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 57 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
17 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 58 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
23 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse 64 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
24 callbacks. 65 callbacks.
25 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and 66 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
26 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace 67 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
27 through the idle threads now. 68 through the idle threads now.
69 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
28 - eg/event was pretty broken. 70 - eg/event was pretty broken.
29 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 71 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
