12 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
13 interpreter variables.
14 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
15 by Andreas König).
16 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
17
186.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
19 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
20 perl bug, of all things.
21
226.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
23 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
24 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
25 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
26 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
27 possibly causing a deadlock.
28 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
29 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
30 where the actual call is.
31 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
32 the right thing to do, just in case.
33 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
34 or under adverse conditions.
35
366.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
37 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
38 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
39
406.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
41 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
42 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
43 by Darin McBride).
44
456.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
46 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
47 while the request was ongoing.
48
496.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
50 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
51 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
52 likely causing a crash.
