7 - croak when a coro being cancelled tries to block (e.g. while
8 executing a guard block), instead of crashing or deadlocking.
9 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
10 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
11 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
12 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
13 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
14 allocating context stack entries.
15 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
16 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
17 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
18 callbacks (best effort).
19 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
20 functions to have destructors.

23 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
24 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
25 my attention by Max Maischein).
26 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
27
285.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
29 - backport to windows process emulation code again.

315.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
32 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
33 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
34 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
35 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
36 saves quite a lot of memory.
37
385.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
39 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
40 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
41 method call.
42 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
43 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
44 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
45 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
46
475.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
48 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
49 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
50 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
51 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
52
535.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
54 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
55 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
56 out of the box.
57 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
58 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
59 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
60
615.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
62 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
63 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
64 Waldorf).
65 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
66
675.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
68 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
69 (testcase by Marc Mims).
8 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions 70 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions

11 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton 73 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton

13 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other 75 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other

16 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions. 78 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
79 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
