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

15 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
16 (testcase by Marc Mims).
17 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
18 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
19 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
20 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
21 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
22 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
23 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
24 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
25 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
26 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).

285.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
29 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
30 together.
31 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
32 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
33 the most common source of confusion.
34 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
35 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
36 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
37 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.

40 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
41 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
42 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
43 - new method $state->swap_sv.
44 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
45 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
46 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
47 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
48 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
49 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
50 - use common::sense everywhere now.
51 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
52 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
