 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
 TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).
 TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)?
-TODO: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/archive/s2ce.aspx
 TODO: __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM
+TODO: swap_sv, maybe add scope_swap_sv, andallow to unswap by repeat?
+TODO: swap_sv not undone in pool
+	- use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
+          one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl.
+6.31 Thu May  9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
+	- Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
+          while the request was ongoing.
+6.29 Wed May  8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
+	- when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
+          destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
+          likely causing a crash.
+6.28 Wed Mar  6 06:58:02 CET 2013
+	- clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
+          they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
+          (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
+	- improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
+        - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
+        - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
+          who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
+          providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
+          this detection cannot work reliably.
+        - valgrind stack registering was broken.
+        - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
+6.23 Fri Dec  7 23:36:37 CET 2012
+        - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
+          perls.
+        - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
+          to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
+        - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
+          activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
+          to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
+          the testsuite.
+        - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
+          improved compatibility with LWP.
+	- implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
+          good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
+        - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
+        - libcoro version 3 "released".
+	- support magic values as timed_io_once args.
+	- recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
+          version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
+6.10 Tue Oct  9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
+	- updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
+          big endian systems (reported by many people).
+        - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
+6.09 Sat Oct  6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
+	- Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
+          (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
+        - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
+          be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
+          wakeups needs fixing anyway.
-	- use fd = -1 in mmap.
+	- use fd -1 in mmap.
         - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
+        - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
 6.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
 	- be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
           exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
         - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
         - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
         - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
 4.9  Sat Nov  8 17:45:27 CET 2008
- 	- (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
+	- (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
         - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
           also speed it up considerably.
         - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
         - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
         - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
 	- remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
           make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
           outdated software). Reported by John S.
 4.744 Tue Jul  8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
-      	- correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
+	- correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
 	- also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
           implementations inside perl work fine for us.
 4.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
 	- when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
 	- sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
           warnings for some other modules.
         - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
 4.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
-      	- tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
+	- tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
           to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
 	- avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
           perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
         - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
           error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
         - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
           common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
           tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
 4.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
-      	- fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
+	- fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
 	- take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
         - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
         - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
           scheduling.
 4.7  Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
 	- completely reworked the Coro manpage.
-      	- added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
+	- added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
 	- implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
         - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
         - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
         - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
           use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
 	- port to threaded perls.
 4.1  Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
-      	- incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
+	- incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
           be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
         - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
           cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
 	- possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
         - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
           but stateful semantics.
         - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
           Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
 3.6  Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
-   	- added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
+	- added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
         - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
         - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
           (EXPERIMENTAL).
         - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
         - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
