8	new -> ready	8	- convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
9	new -> canceled	9	are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
10	ready -> running	10	functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
11	ready -> canceled	11	fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
12	running -> ready	12	with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
13	running -> blocked	13	- do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
14	running -> canceled	14	modules could have provided their own idle coro already
15	blocked -> ready	15	(for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
16	blocked -> canceled	16	- fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.

18	5.13	18	5.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
		19	- automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
		20	together.
		21	- add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
		22	Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
		23	the most common source of confusion.
		24	- try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
		25	- work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
		26	older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
		27	- clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
		28
		29	5.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
		30	- Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
		31	- export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
		32	- fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
		33	- new method $state->swap_sv.
		34	- added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
		35	after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
		36	salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
		37	were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
		38	place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
		39	and maybe well enough for others to understand.
		40	- use common::sense everywhere now.
		41	- idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
		42	- print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
		43
		44	5.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
		45	- work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
		46	when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
		47	- speed up Coro::async considerably.
		48	- try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
		49	setjmp/longjmp, ucontext and phtreads are really hard on Coro.
		50	- convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
		51
		52	5.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
		53	- perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
		54	- skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
		55
		56	5.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
		57	- Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
		58	used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
		59	- Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
		60	not on demand.
		61	- try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
		62
		63	5.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
		64	- Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
		65	when no threads had been readied between detecting
		66	the event loop and actually running it.
		67	- considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
		68	of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
		69	- implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
		70	(based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
		71	- replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
		72	and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
		73	- clarified libcoro license and copyright.
		74	- someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
		75	- implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
		76	for hardcode select overriding.
		77
		78	5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
		79	- backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
		80	Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
		81	- slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
		82
		83	5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
		84	- deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
		85	AnyEvent::Socket instead.
		86	- implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
		87	- work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
		88	to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
		89	- load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
		90	- work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
		91	reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
		92	- enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
		93	(Coro::State::enable_times).
		94
		95	5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
		96	- provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
		97	as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
		98	idle_upto).
		99	- add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
		100	- clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
		101	- free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
		102	avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
		103	had already been freed.
		104	- "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
		105	- speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
		106	list instead of an array (~5-10%).
		107	- implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
		108	- for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
		109	- if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
		110	Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
		111	(the same is true for Coro::Handle).
		112	- properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
		113	- avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
		114	- maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
		115	(based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
		116
		117	5.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
		118	- do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
		119	Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
		120	- support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
		121	should support a prepare callback.
		122
		123	5.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
		124	- implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
		125	- fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
		126	the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
		127
		128	5.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
		129	- EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).

		139	- croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.

		141	- use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
		142	when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
		143	- do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
		144	to avoid needless segfaults.
