+CHANGES:
+
+CHANGE X:
+
+CHANGE 12 (bug fix on Windows, 2.0.3) AKa 25-Jan-2009:
+    Did CHANGE 9 the way it should be done.
+
+CHANGE 11 (new feature, 2.0.3) AKa 23-Jan-2009:
+    Finalizers ('set_finalizer()') for being able to do cleanup of a lane's 
+    resources, whether it returned succesfully or via an error.
+
+CHANGE 10 (new feature, 2.0.3) AKa 23-Jan-2009:
+    Call stack showing where an error occurred is not merged with the error
+    message, but delivered as a separate stack table ({ "filename:line" [, ...] }).
+    Getting call stacks of errorred lanes is now possible.
+
+CHANGE 9 (bug fix on Windows) AKa 10-Dec-2008 (> 2.0.2):
+    Applied patch from Kriss Daniels to avoid issues on 'now_time()' in Win32
+    (http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=22704&forum_id=1781).
+    
+CHANGE 8 (bug fix) AKa 26-Oct-2008:
+    Avoids occasional segfault at process exit (on multicore CPUs). Does this
+    by keeping track of "free running" threads (s.a. the time thread) and
+    cancelling them at process exit. 
+    
+    Tested (2.0.2) on Linux 64,x86, OS X, WinXP.
+
+CHANGE 7 (bug fix) AKa 15-Oct-2008:
+    Recursive functions that use themselves as direct upvalue can now be
+    passed to other lanes, and used as a lane function.
+
+CHANGE 6 (bug fix) AKa 15-Oct-2008:
+    Added local caches of the following to src/lanes.lua (was otherwise getting
+    errors at least in 'tests/irayo_recursive.lua').
+
+                local assert= assert 
+                local string_gmatch= assert( string.gmatch ) 
+                local select= assert( select ) 
+                local type= assert( type ) 
+                local pairs= assert( pairs ) 
+                local tostring= assert( tostring ) 
+                local error= assert( error ) 
+                local setmetatable= assert( setmetatable ) 
+                local rawget= assert( rawget ) 
+
+    Thanks to Irayo for detecting and reporting this.
+
+CHANGE 5 (new feature):
+    Modifying Makefile so it's better suited to LuaRocks.
+
+CHANGE 4 (new feature):
+    Metatable copying, allowing Lua objects to be copied across lanes.
+
+CHANGE 3 (bug fix) AKa 5-Aug-2008:
+    The '__gc' method was not tied to thread userdata, at all. Caused memory
+    lifespan problems at least on OS X when threads were cancelled (EINVAL).
+    
+CHANGE 2 (bug fix) AKa 5-Aug-2008:
+    Better calculation of timeouts, always making them absolute (even in Win32)
+    to allow for events that wake the lane up but don't read/write the Linda
+    key that it was observing.
+
+CHANGE 1 (bug fix) AKa 4-Aug-2008:
+    Signalling woke up only one waiting thread, not all. This caused i.e. 
+    receive to not wake up if there was another thread waiting on the same 
+    Linda object.
+    
+    PThread fix: using 'pthread_cond_broadcast()' instead of 'pthread_cond_signal()'
+    Win32 fix: using manual events and 'PulseEvent()'
+
