7 - croak when a coro being cancelled tries to block (e.g. while 7TODO: tutorial
8 executing a guard block), instead of crashing or deadlocking. 8TODO: in_eval, PL_tained
9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
10 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
11 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
9 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but 12 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
10 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. 13 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
14 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
15 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.
16 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
17 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
18 deadlocking.
19 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
20 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
11 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to 21 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
12 be able to implement mutual cancellation. 22 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
23 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
24 allocating context stack entries.
25 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
26 a reduction in memory use.
13 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is 27 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
14 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion. 28 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
15 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy 29 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
16 callbacks (best effort). 30 callbacks (best effort).
17 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf 31 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
18 functions to have destructors. 32 functions to have destructors.
33 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
34 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.
35 - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted
36 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.

21 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to 39 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
22 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to 40 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
23 my attention by Max Maischein). 41 my attention by Max Maischein).
