5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),

7 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
8 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
9 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.

115.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
12 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
13 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
14 method call.
15 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
16 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
17 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
18 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.

205.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
21 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
22 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
23 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
24 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
25
265.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
27 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
28 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
29 out of the box.
30 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
31 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
32 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
33
345.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
35 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
36 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
37 Waldorf).
38 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
39
405.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
41 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
42 (testcase by Marc Mims).
43 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
44 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
45 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
46 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
47 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
48 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
49 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
50 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
51 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
52 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
53
545.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
55 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
56 together.
57 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
58 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
59 the most common source of confusion.
60 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
61 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
62 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
63 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
64
655.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
66 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
67 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
68 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
69 - new method $state->swap_sv.
70 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
71 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
72 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
73 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
74 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
75 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
76 - use common::sense everywhere now.
77 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
78 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
79
805.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
81 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
82 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
83 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
84 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
85 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
86 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
87
885.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
11 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement. 89 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
90 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.

15 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa). 94 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
16 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded, 95 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
