8TODO: in_eval, PL_tained 8 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
9 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
10 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
11 systems.

14 - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
15 was not good. thisone should be better.
16 - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.

9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be 19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
10 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }). 20 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
21 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
22 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
23 about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally
24 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
25 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
26 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
27 in thread switching.
11 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie. 28 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
12 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but 29 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
13 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. 30 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
31 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
14 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this 32 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
15 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two. 33 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.

17 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or 35 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
18 deadlocking. 36 deadlocking.

56 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
57 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
58 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
59 and it's known since at least 2006.
