9 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
10 big endian systems (reported by many people).
11 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.

14 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
15 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
16 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
17 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
18 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
19 - use fd -1 in mmap.
20 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
21 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
22
236.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
24 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
25 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
26
276.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
28 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
29 - update ecb.h.

32 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
33 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
34 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
35 twice just to be sure.
36 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
37 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
38 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
39 even better performance...).

416.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
42 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
43 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
44 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
45 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
46
476.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
48 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
49 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
50 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
51
526.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
53 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
54 AnyEvent 6.x.
7 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h 55 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
8 hasn't been included. 56 hasn't been included.

11 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables 59 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
