10 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
11 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
12 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
13 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
14 possibly causing a deadlock.
15 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
16 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
17 where the actual call is.
18 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
19 the right thing to do, just in case.
20 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
21 or under adverse conditions.

236.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
24 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
25 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
26
276.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
28 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
29 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
30 by Darin McBride).
31

33 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
34 while the request was ongoing.
35
366.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
37 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
38 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
39 likely causing a crash.

416.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
42 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
43 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
44 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
