Here it is. It was made just yesterday with current code base. Libcoro was so non-portable, that it did not work well even under Windows. Now when it's gone, we're portable enough, so we expect it to work across all ports.

Discworld: End of game

VERY cool news indeed. Bit odd about that libcoro, it claims to be portable on it's website. Very very cool! Any ETA on a beta wihcih is there for us to download? Will it work in the nightlies?
No ETA, but it will be _very_ soon. And I suppose that it may be turned on pretty soon in the daily build, however, it is not yet ready for the release.
Actually, libcoro is not that bad (there was a reason we used it, after all). It is not perfect, but it tries to solve a very hard problem. Namely the real problem here: That the tinsel code relied heavily on setjmp/longjmp (albeit in a very clean and natural way), which are highly unportable functions. Anyway, this is history :)
