Changes for version 0.65 - 2015-02-15

  • CHANGES
    • Optionally allow IO::Async::Channel to use 'Sereal' serialisation
    • Added documentation about the 'env' Child Manager key and copying %ENV
    • Take OS "preferred loop subclass" hints from IO::Async::OS directly
  • BUGFIXES
    • Nested $stream->read_* inside read_* cause double-completion of Future (RT101774)
    • Implement IO::Async::Loop::Poll directly on _poll() syscall wrapper, thus avoiding many bugs in IO::Poll (RT93141)
    • Ensure that IO::Async::Loop::Select can cope with callbacks that remove other IO handle watches (RT101919)
    • Silently upgrade watched IO handles to O_NONBLOCK (RT102044)
    • Complain about unrecognised keys to ->extract_addrinfo (RT101453)
