6 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
7 inside Coro::Handle.
8 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
9 speed reasons.
10 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
11 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
12 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
13 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
14 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
15 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
16 under some circumstances.
17 - other bugfixes.

19 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
20 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
21 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
22 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
23 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
24 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
25 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
26 syntax.
27 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
28 - new simple priority system.
29 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
30 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
31
32 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
33 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
35 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
36 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
37 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
38 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
39 "Callback called exit" messages).
40 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
41 - much better Coro::Socket support.
42
43 0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
44 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
45 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
46 should work well in practise ;)
47 - added Coro::RWLock.
48 - Coro::Specific now works.
49
50 0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
51 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
52 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
53 - new module Coro::Socket.
54
55 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
56 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
57 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
58 for yield.
59 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
60 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
61 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
62 perl-5.6.
63 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
64 - the idle process is now overriden
65 by default in Coro::Event.
66 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
67 - canceling events now works in all cases.
68 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
69 - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
70 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
71 non-blocking i/o.
72 - performance tuning.
73
74 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
75 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
76 - add Coro::State::flush function.
77 - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
78 - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
79 - continuations have a saner syntax.
80 - no more memleaks.
81
82 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
83 - release candidate 1 ;)
84 - slightly nicer code.
85 - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
86
87 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
88 - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
89 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
90 see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
91 chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
92 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
93 - Coro::Event now works (haha).
94
95 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
96 - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
97 - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
98
99 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
100 - @_ is now properly localized.
101 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
102 - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
103 - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
104 coroutine-specific vars.
105 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
106
107 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
108 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
109 - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
110 - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
111 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
112 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
113 model. Still crude and subject to change.
114 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
115
116 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
117 - implemented "async" attribute.
118 - $_ and $@ are now localized.
119 - added Coro::Channel.
120 - more testcases, still no docs.
121
122 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
123 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
