10 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
11 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
12 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
13 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
14 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).

166.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
17 - use stability canary.
18 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
19 - update libecb.
20
216.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
22 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
23 SATO Kentaro).
24 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
25
266.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
27 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
28 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
29 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
30 when used inside a Coro.
31 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
32 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
33 but wasn't legal until now.
34 - slightly better c header file detection.
35
366.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
37 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
38
396.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
40 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
41 interpreter variables.
42 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
43 by Andreas König).
44 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
45
466.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
47 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
48 perl bug, of all things.
49
506.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
51 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
52 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
53 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
54 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
55 possibly causing a deadlock.
56 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
57 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
58 where the actual call is.
59 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
60 the right thing to do, just in case.
61 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
62 or under adverse conditions.
63
646.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
65 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
66 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.

10 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old 69 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
11 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported 70 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
12 by Darin McBride). 71 by Darin McBride).
108 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar 167 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
109 systems. 168 systems.

122 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls). 181 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
