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

34 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
35 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
36 my attention by Max Maischein).
37 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.

40 - backport to windows process emulation code again.

43 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
44 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
45 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
46 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
47 saves quite a lot of memory.

10 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore, 50 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
11 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new" 51 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
