195.12
20 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
21 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
22 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
23 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
24 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
25 inside a function called form multiple coroutines.
26 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
27 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
28 destruction.
29 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
30 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
31 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
32 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
33 pthreads fare better?).
34 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.

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

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