Changes for version 5.13 - 2008-12-15

  • EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
  • don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid spurious warnings.
  • fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
  • Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
  • add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
  • take advantage of the new Guard module.
  • deprecate Coro::guard.
  • try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
  • croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
  • fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
  • use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
  • do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction, to avoid needless segfaults.
