Changes for version 5.21 - 2009-12-16

  • automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used together.
  • add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be the most common source of confusion.
  • try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
  • work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
  • clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
