85.0 8TODO: suspend/resume, unready_all etc.
9 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.

115.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
12 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
13 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
14 spurious warnings.
15 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
16 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
17 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
18 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
19 - deprecate Coro::guard.
20 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
21 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
22 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
23 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
24 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
25 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
26 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
27 to avoid needless segfaults.
28
295.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
30 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
31 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
32 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
33 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
34 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
35 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
36 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
37 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
38 destruction.
39 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
40 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
41 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
42 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
43 pthreads fare better?).
44 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.

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

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

10 stability issues. 79 stability issues.
11 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 80 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
12 - removed timed_* functions - they were not being used anyways 81 - removed timed_* functions - they were not being used anyways
