85.0 8TODO: CF_RUNNING makes sense only for Coros, not States
9 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
10 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
11 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
12 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
13 seem to bother perl.
14 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
15 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
16 destruction.
17 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.

20 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
21 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
22 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

245.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
25 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
26 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
27 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
28 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
29 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
30 LWP data transfers.
31 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
32 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
33 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
34 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
35 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
36 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
37 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
38 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
39 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
40 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
41 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
42 callbacks.
43 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
44 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
45 through the idle threads now.
46 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
47 - eg/event was pretty broken.
48 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
