11 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
12 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
13 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
14 when used inside a Coro.
15 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
16 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
17 but wasn't legal until now.
18 - slightly better c header file detection.

206.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
21 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
22
236.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
24 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
25 interpreter variables.
26 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
27 by Andreas König).
28 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.

31 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
32 perl bug, of all things.

35 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
36 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
37 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
38 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
39 possibly causing a deadlock.
40 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
41 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
42 where the actual call is.
43 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
44 the right thing to do, just in case.
45 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
46 or under adverse conditions.
47
486.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
49 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
50 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.

10 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old 53 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
11 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported 54 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
12 by Darin McBride). 55 by Darin McBride).

109 systems. 152 systems.

118 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }). 161 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
119 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code, 162 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
120 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and 163 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
121 about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally 164 about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
122 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls). 165 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
123 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions. 166 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
124 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement 167 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
125 in thread switching. 168 in thread switching.
126 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie. 169 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
