         - vastly improved co_exception (cox_*) subsystem: now it supports


 
           arbitrary number of cleanup stacks -- and also it underwent preliminary


 
           preparations for thread-safedness


 
         - introduced the concept of object flavours


 
         - implemented until-now-forced message apparatus as "small" flavour (the


 
           destroy flag and method array)


 
         - implemented the event handling as "default" flavour, operating on top of


 
           "small" one


 
         - re-did the object layout - now we have data pointer instead of embedding


 
           header into custom struct's (objects used to be implemented this way in


 
           ancient times in then-forming libcwe IIRC)


 
         - new constructor style - the <objtype>_new function is generated by copp:


 
           it will call the flavour's object instantiation and then send "init"


 
           message to the object; "bless" is reserved for user initialisation of


 
           object (and can take arguments, like the old constructors could)


 
         - semi-automatic clone support -- you can get cloning by providing


 
           "copy_data_from" and "copy_data_deep_from" methods for your object --


 
           everything else is taken care of by libco


 
         - object destruction underwent some re-work -- now there is "delete"


 
           message that should be safe to send in any situation; the "destroy2" and


 
           "destroy" methods are layered below "delete", where "destroy2" is


 
           reserved for flavour implementation and "destroy" is for object


 
           implementators disposal (and shalt be called from inside destroy2);


 
         - co_super now accepts "exit" message (which replaces "destroy" as


 
           introduced in 0.2.2)


 
         - co_super is returned by new co_init function (do NOT use co_super_new --


 
           it is broken badly)


 
         - most important: added more entries to the THANKS file :)
