76.04 7 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
8 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
9 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
10 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
11 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
12 this detection cannot work reliably.

15 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
16 perls.
17 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
18 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
19 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
20 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
21 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
22 the testsuite.
23 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
24 improved compatibility with LWP.
25 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
26 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
27 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
28 - libcoro version 3 "released".
29 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
30 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
31 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
32
336.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
34 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
35 big endian systems (reported by many people).
36 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
37
386.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
39 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
40 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
41 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
42 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
43 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
44 - use fd -1 in mmap.
45 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
46 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
47
486.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
49 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
50 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
51
526.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
53 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
54 - update ecb.h.
55
566.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
57 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
58 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
59 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
60 twice just to be sure.
61 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
62 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
63 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
64 even better performance...).
65
666.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
67 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
68 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
69 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
70 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
71
726.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
8 - use even more effciient and more compatible condvars for 73 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
9 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :) 74 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
75 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
10 76
116.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011 776.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
12 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to 78 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
13 AnyEvent 6.x. 79 AnyEvent 6.x.
14 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h 80 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
