8TODO: async_pool to SLF 85.12
9TODO: _cancel to xs 9 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
105.0 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 - this could fix issues such as eval ""
14 inside a function called form multiple coroutines.
15 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
16 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
17 destruction.
18 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
19 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
20 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
21 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
22 pthreads fare better?).
23 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.

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

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