		9	- add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
		10	- try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
		11	introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
		12
		13	5.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
		14	- automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
		15	Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
		16	method call.
		17	- undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
		18	- optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
		19	- slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
		20	- do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
		21
		22	5.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
		23	- try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
		24	working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
		25	- openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
		26	with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
		27
		28	5.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
		29	- port to the EV 4.0 API.
		30	- work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
		31	out of the box.
		32	- correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
		33	so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
		34	- "ported" libcoro to C++.
		35
		36	5.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
		37	- be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
		38	Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
		39	Waldorf).
		40	- document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
		41
		42	5.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
		43	- correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
		44	(testcase by Marc Mims).
		45	- convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
		46	are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
		47	functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
		48	fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
		49	with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
		50	- do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
		51	modules could have provided their own idle coro already
		52	(for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
		53	- fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
		54	- Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
		55
		56	5.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
		57	- automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
		58	together.
		59	- add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
		60	Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
		61	the most common source of confusion.
		62	- try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
		63	- work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
		64	older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
		65	- clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
		66
		67	5.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
		68	- Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
		69	- export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
		70	- fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
		71	- new method $state->swap_sv.
		72	- added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
		73	after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
		74	salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
		75	were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
		76	place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
		77	and maybe well enough for others to understand.
		78	- use common::sense everywhere now.
		79	- idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
		80	- print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
		81
		82	5.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
		83	- work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
		84	when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
		85	- speed up Coro::async considerably.
		86	- try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
		87	setjmp/longjmp, ucontext and phtreads are really hard on Coro.
		88	- convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
		89
		90	5.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
		91	- perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
		92	- skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
		93
		94	5.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
		95	- Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
		96	used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
		97	- Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
		98	not on demand.
		99	- try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
		100
		101	5.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
		102	- Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
		103	when no threads had been readied between detecting
		104	the event loop and actually running it.
		105	- considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
		106	of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
		107	- implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
		108	(based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
		109	- replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
		110	and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
		111	- clarified libcoro license and copyright.
		112	- someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
		113	- implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
		114	for hardcode select overriding.
		115
		116	5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
		117	- backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
		118	Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
		119	- slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
		120
		121	5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
		122	- deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
		123	AnyEvent::Socket instead.
		124	- implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
		125	- work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
		126	to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
		127	- load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
		128	- work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
		129	reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
		130	- enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
		131	(Coro::State::enable_times).
		132
		133	5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
		134	- provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
		135	as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
		136	idle_upto).
		137	- add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
11	- clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages: you have to actually run	138	- clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
12	the event loop somewhere to be able to poll for events	139	- free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
13	in the presence of ready threads.	140	avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
		141	had already been freed.
		142	- "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
14	- speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked	143	- speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
15	list instead of an array (~5-10%).	144	list instead of an array (~5-10%).

17	- for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.	146	- for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
		147	- if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
		148	Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
		149	(the same is true for Coro::Handle).
		150	- properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
		151	- avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
		152	- maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
		153	(based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
