10 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
11 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
12 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
13 perls.
14 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
15 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
16 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.

19 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
20 big endian systems (reported by many people).
21 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
22
236.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
24 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
25 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
26 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
27 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
28 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
29 - use fd -1 in mmap.
30 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
31 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
32
336.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
34 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
35 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
36
376.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
38 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
39 - update ecb.h.
40
416.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
42 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
43 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
44 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
45 twice just to be sure.
46 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
47 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
48 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
49 even better performance...).

516.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
52 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
53 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
54 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
55 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
56
576.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
58 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
59 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
60 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
61
626.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
63 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
64 AnyEvent 6.x.
7 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h 65 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
8 hasn't been included. 66 hasn't been included.

11 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables 69 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
