Changes for version 6.23 - 2012-12-07

  • use experimental fiber implementation on native windows perls.
  • use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes, to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
  • changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64. activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes the testsuite.
  • implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly improved compatibility with LWP.
  • implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
  • move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
  • libcoro version 3 "released".
  • support magic values as timed_io_once args.
  • recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
