5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

8 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
9 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
10 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
11 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
12 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
13 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
14 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
15 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
16 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.

19 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
20 together.
21 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
22 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
23 the most common source of confusion.
24 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
25 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
26 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
27 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.

30 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
31 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
32 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
33 - new method $state->swap_sv.
34 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
35 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
36 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
37 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
38 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
39 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
40 - use common::sense everywhere now.
41 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
42 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
43
445.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
45 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
46 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
47 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
48 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
49 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
50 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
51
525.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
53 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
54 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
55
565.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
57 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
58 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
59 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
60 not on demand.
61 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.

15 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations. 68 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
69 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
70 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
16 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported 71 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
17 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). 72 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
