10 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
11 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
12 deadlocking.
13 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
14 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
15 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
16 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
17 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
18 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
19 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
20 allocating context stack entries.
21 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
22 a reduction in memory use.
23 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
24 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
25 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
26 callbacks (best effort).
27 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
28 functions to have destructors.
29 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
30 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.

33 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
34 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
35 my attention by Max Maischein).
36 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
37
385.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
39 - backport to windows process emulation code again.

415.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
42 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
43 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
44 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
45 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
46 saves quite a lot of memory.
47
485.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
49 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
50 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
51 method call.
52 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
53 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
54 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
55 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
56
575.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
58 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
59 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
60 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
61 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
62
635.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
64 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
65 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
66 out of the box.
9 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes 67 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
10 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule. 68 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
11 - "ported" libcoro to C++. 69 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
