85.0 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.

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

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

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