8 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
9 perls.
10 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
11 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
12 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
13 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
14 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
15 the testsuite.
16 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
17 improved compatibility with LWP.
18 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
19 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
20 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
21 - libcoro version 3 "released".
22 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
23 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
24 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.

266.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
27 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
28 big endian systems (reported by many people).
29 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.

316.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
32 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
33 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
34 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
35 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
36 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
37 - use fd -1 in mmap.
38 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
39 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
40
416.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
42 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
43 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
44
456.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
46 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
47 - update ecb.h.
48
496.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
50 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
51 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
52 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
53 twice just to be sure.
54 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
55 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
56 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
57 even better performance...).
58
596.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
60 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
61 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
62 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
63 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
64
656.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
66 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
67 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
68 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.

76.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011 706.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
8 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to 71 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
9 AnyEvent 6.x. 72 AnyEvent 6.x.
10 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h 73 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
