Changes for version 3.61 - 2007-04-19

  • Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid pst's sometimes.
  • use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to be threadsafe...).
  • fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable but stateful semantics.
  • fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
