Changes for version 5.16 - 2009-07-21

  • Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop when no threads had been readied between detecting the event loop and actually running it.
  • considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
  • implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
  • replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
  • clarified libcoro license and copyright.
  • someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
  • implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother, for hardcode select overriding.
