8	5.0	11	- considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
		12	of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
		13	- clarified libcoro license and copyright.
		14	- someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
		15
		16	5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
		17	- backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
		18	Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
		19	- slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
		20
		21	5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
		22	- deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
		23	AnyEvent::Socket instead.
		24	- implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
		25	- work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
		26	to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
		27	- load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
		28	- work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
		29	reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
		30	- enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
		31	(Coro::State::enable_times).
		32
		33	5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
		34	- provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
		35	as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
		36	idle_upto).
		37	- add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
		38	- clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
		39	- free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
		40	avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
		41	had already been freed.
		42	- "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
		43	- speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
		44	list instead of an array (~5-10%).
		45	- implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
		46	- for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
		47	- if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
		48	Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
		49	(the same is true for Coro::Handle).
		50	- properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
		51	- avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
		52	- maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
		53	(based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
		54
		55	5.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
		56	- do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
		57	Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
		58	- support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
		59	should support a prepare callback.
		60
		61	5.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
		62	- implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
		63	- fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
		64	the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
		65
		66	5.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
		67	- EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
		68	- don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
		69	spurious warnings.
		70	- fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
		71	- Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
		72	- add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
		73	- take advantage of the new Guard module.
		74	- deprecate Coro::guard.
		75	- try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
		76	testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
		77	- croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
		78	- fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
		79	- use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
		80	when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
		81	- do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
		82	to avoid needless segfaults.
		83
		84	5.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
		85	- add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
		86	compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
		87	openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
		88	- free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
		89	seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
		90	inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
		91	- use a different method to detect destruction time.
		92	- be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
		93	destruction.
		94	- fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
		95	- renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
		96	- new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
		97	- try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
		98	pthreads fare better?).
		99	- be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
		100
		101	5.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
		102	- DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
		103	working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
		104	it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
		105
		106	5.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
		107	- wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
		108	- convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
		109	- Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
		110	and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
		111	- Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
		112	LWP data transfers.
		113	- disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
		114	correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
		115	objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
		116	- bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
		117	- no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
		118	doesn't like this very much (and we are a type of entersub).
		119	- implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
		120	- automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
		121	- wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
		122	do not have this method (and don't need it either).
		123	- speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
		124	callbacks.
		125	- allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
		126	others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
		127	through the idle threads now.
		128	- add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
		129	- eg/event was pretty broken.
		130	- better 5.8.6 compatibility.
