10 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
11 Coro::Senmaphore::guard, as it could change later.

135.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
14 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
15 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
16 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
17
185.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
19 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
20 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
21 spurious warnings.
22 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
23 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
24 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
25 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
26 - deprecate Coro::guard.
27 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
28 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
29 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
30 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
31 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
32 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
33 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
34 to avoid needless segfaults.
35
365.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
37 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
38 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
39 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
40 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
41 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
42 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
43 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
44 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
45 destruction.
46 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
47 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
48 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
49 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
50 pthreads fare better?).
51 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
52
535.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
54 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
55 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
56 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

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

14 stability issues. 86 stability issues.
15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 87 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
