11 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
12 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
13 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
14 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
15 place).

175.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
18 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
19 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
20 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
21 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
22 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
23 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
24
255.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
26 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
27 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
28
295.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
30 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
31 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
32 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
33 not on demand.
34 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
35
365.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
37 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
38 when no threads had been readied between detecting
39 the event loop and actually running it.
40 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
41 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
42 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
43 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
44 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
45 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
46 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
47 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
48 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
49 for hardcode select overriding.
50
515.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
52 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
53 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
54 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
55
565.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
57 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
58 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
59 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
60 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
61 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
62 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
63 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
64 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
65 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
66 (Coro::State::enable_times).
67
685.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
69 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
70 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
71 idle_upto).
72 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
73 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
74 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
75 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
76 had already been freed.
77 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
78 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
79 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
80 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
81 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
82 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
83 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
84 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
85 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
86 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
87 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
88 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
89
905.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
91 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
92 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
93 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
94 should support a prepare callback.
95
965.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
97 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
98 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
99 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
100
1015.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
102 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
103 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
104 spurious warnings.
105 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
106 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
107 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
108 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
109 - deprecate Coro::guard.
110 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
111 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
112 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
113 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
114 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
115 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
116 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
117 to avoid needless segfaults.

132 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
133 pthreads fare better?).
134 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
