0.4.9
=====
- Fixed Windows builds
0.4.8
=====
- Added support for iOS (arm32)
- Added support for ppc64le
0.4.7
=====
- Added a missing workaround for `return 0` on mips
- Restore compatibility with Python 2.5
- Fixed stack switching on sparc
0.4.6
=====
- Expose `_stack_saved` property on greenlet objects, it may be used to
introspect the amount of memory used by a saved stack, but the API is
subject to change in the future
- Added a workaround for `return 0` compiler optimizations on all
architectures
- C API typo fixes
0.4.5
=====
- Fixed several bugs in greenlet C API
- Fixed a bug in multi-threaded applications, which manifested itself
with spurious "cannot switch to a different thread" exceptions
- Fixed some crashes on arm and mips architectures
0.4.4
=====
- Fixed PyGreenlet_SetParent signature, thanks to BoonsNaibot
- Fixed 64-bit Windows builds depending on wrong runtime dll
0.4.3
=====
- Better slp_switch performance on SPARC
- Drop support for Python 2.3
- Fix trashcan assertions on debug builds of Python
- Remove deprecated -fno-tree-dominator-opts compiler switch
- Enable switch code for SunStudio on 32-bit SunOS
- Support for abc abstract methods in greenlet subclasses
- Support custom directories for tests
- Document switch tracing support
0.4.2
=====
- Add .travis.yml
- Fix 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function
- Check _MSC_VER for msvc specific code
- Fix slp_switch on SPARC for multi-threaded environments
- Add support for m68k

The greenlet package is a spin-off of Stackless, a version of CPython that
supports micro-threads called "tasklets". Tasklets run pseudo-concurrently
(typically in a single or a few OS-level threads) and are synchronized with data
exchanges on "channels".
A "greenlet", on the other hand, is a still more primitive notion of
micro-thread with no implicit scheduling; coroutines, in other words. This is
useful when you want to control exactly when your code runs. You can build
custom scheduled micro-threads on top of greenlet; however, it seems that
greenlets are useful on their own as a way to make advanced control flow
structures. For example, we can recreate generators; the difference with
Python's own generators is that our generators can call nested functions and the
nested functions can yield values too. Additionally, you don't need a "yield"
keyword. See the example in tests/test_generator.py.
Greenlets are provided as a C extension module for the regular unmodified
interpreter.
Greenlets are lightweight coroutines for in-process concurrent programming.
