Changes for version 4.3 - 2007-12-04

  • calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption when the stack changed.
  • do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS if available.
  • add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
  • use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
  • do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
