8TODO: in_eval, PL_tained 8 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
9 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
10 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
11 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.

14 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
15 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
16 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.

186.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
19 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
20 AnyEvent 6.x.
21 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
22 hasn't been included.

25 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
26 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
27 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
28 systems.

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

10 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }). 37 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
11 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code, 38 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
12 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and 39 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
13 about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally 40 about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally
14 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls). 41 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
42 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.

17 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie. 45 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.

19 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. 47 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
48 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.

21 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two. 50 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.

51 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to 80 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
