9 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }). 9 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
10 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
11 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
12 about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally
13 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
14 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
15 in thread switching.
10 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie. 16 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
11 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but 17 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
12 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. 18 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
19 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
13 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this 20 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
14 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two. 21 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.

35 logic seems to be no longer neccessary. 42 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.
43 - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks.
44 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
45 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
46 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
47 and it's known since at least 2006.

39 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to 51 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
