8TODO: async_pool to SLF 8 TODO: Coro/Intro
9TODO: _cancel to xs 9 - wrote a small introduction - Coro::Intro.
105.0 10 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
11 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
12 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
14 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
15 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
17 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
18 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
19 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
20 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
21 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
22 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
23 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
24 callbacks.
25 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
26 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
27 through the idle threads now.
28 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
29 - eg/event was pretty broken.
30 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
