9 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.

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

15 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations. 75 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
76 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
77 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
16 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported 78 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
17 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). 79 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
