10 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
11 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
12 Waldorf).
13 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.

155.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
16 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
17 (testcase by Marc Mims).
18 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
19 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
20 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
21 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
22 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
23 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
24 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
25 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
26 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
27 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
28
295.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
30 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
31 together.
32 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
33 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
34 the most common source of confusion.
35 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
36 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
37 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
38 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
39
405.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
41 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
42 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
43 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
44 - new method $state->swap_sv.
45 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
46 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
47 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
48 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
49 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
50 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
51 - use common::sense everywhere now.
52 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
53 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
54
555.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
56 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
57 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
58 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
59 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
60 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
61 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
62
635.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
64 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
65 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
66
675.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
68 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
69 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
70 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
71 not on demand.
72 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
