 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
 TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).
 TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)?
 TODO: __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM
+TODO: swap_sv, maybe add scope_swap_sv, andallow to unswap by repeat?
+TODO: swap_sv not undone in pool
+TODO: croak when async_pool tries to run canceled thread?
+6.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015
+	- avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
+	- the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
+          failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
+          the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
+          changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
+        - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
+6.43 Thu Jun  4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
+	- use stability canary.
+	- port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
+        - update libecb.
+6.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
+	- Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
+          SATO Kentaro).
+        - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
+6.41 Sat Sep  6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
+	- restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
+        - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
+          up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
+          when used inside a Coro.
+        - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
+          as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
+          but wasn't legal until now.
+        - slightly better c header file detection.
+6.39 Mon Jun  2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
+	- work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
+6.38 Sun Jun  1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
+	- check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
+          interpreter variables.
+	- untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
+          by Andreas König).
+	- croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
+6.37 Tue Mar  4 13:27:33 CET 2014
+	- *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
+          perl bug, of all things.
+6.36 Tue Mar  4 07:11:59 CET 2014
+	- semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
+          by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
+        - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
+          the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
+          possibly causing a deadlock.
+	- "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
+          to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
+          where the actual call is.
+        - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
+          the right thing to do, just in case.
+        - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
+          or under adverse conditions.
+6.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
+	- do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
+	- tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
+6.32 Tue Nov  5 15:35:35 CET 2013
+	- use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
+          one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
+          by Darin McBride).
 6.31 Thu May  9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
 	- Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
           while the request was ongoing.
           handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
           systems.
 6.01  Sun Jul  3 12:31:14 CEST 2011
 	- workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
-          was not good. thisone should be better.
+          was not good. this one should be better.
         - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.
 6.0   Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011
 	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
           destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
         - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
           which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
-          about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally
+          about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
           reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
         - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
         - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
           in thread switching.
         - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
         - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
         - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
         - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
 4.9  Sat Nov  8 17:45:27 CET 2008
- 	- (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
+	- (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
         - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
           also speed it up considerably.
         - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
         - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
         - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
 	- remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
           make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
           outdated software). Reported by John S.
 4.744 Tue Jul  8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
-      	- correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
+	- correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
 	- also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
           implementations inside perl work fine for us.
 4.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
 	- when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
 	- sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
           warnings for some other modules.
         - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
 4.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
-      	- tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
+	- tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
           to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
 	- avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
           perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
         - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
           error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
         - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
           common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
           tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
 4.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
-      	- fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
+	- fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
 	- take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
         - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
         - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
           scheduling.
 4.7  Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
 	- completely reworked the Coro manpage.
-      	- added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
+	- added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
 	- implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
         - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
         - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
         - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
           use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
 	- port to threaded perls.
 4.1  Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
-      	- incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
+	- incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
           be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
         - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
           cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
 	- possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
         - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
           but stateful semantics.
         - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
           Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
 3.6  Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
-   	- added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
+	- added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
         - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
         - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
           (EXPERIMENTAL).
         - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
         - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
