Changes for version 0.113 - 2026-09-12
- Replace the internal Socket Stream multiple-inheritance diamond with a single behavioral parent, the ordered-byte engine. Socket descriptors, connection acquisition, configuration, addresses, and transports remain explicitly composed facilities. Document and test ordinary subclass-owned instance state, and organize Stream implementation code into demarcated constructor, accessor, method, and private-helper sections.
- Replace Listener stream_class and flat accepted-Stream constructor templates with one resolved stream => {...} recipe. Listener bind/listen/ accept policy remains top-level while class, data, tuning, TLS, and Stream callbacks belong to the generated-connection recipe.
- Rename the ordered-byte class tuning hook from stream_options() to stream_tuning(), add live $stream->tune(...), and keep effective mutable values in native per-Stream state with no new steady-state Perl lookup.
- Define deterministic live tuning transitions for batching, watermarks, hard output/input limits, and established idle/read/write deadlines.
- Make accepted TLS acquisition-time policy selected by stream->{tls} rather than Stream class identity. Listener construction validates deployment policy and prepares one reusable server SSL_CTX; accepted connections allocate independent SSL state from that prepared context.
- Add regression coverage for recipe validation and precedence, live tuning, plain/TLS reuse of one Stream class, prepared TLS context cloning, and lowered max_pending_bytes/max_buffer grandfathering behavior.
- Add a dedicated accepted-TLS setup benchmark alongside the existing steady-state encrypted-I/O microbenchmark, and update public POD, examples, README, and architecture documents to the new API.
- Repair remaining shipped Listener documentation and benchmark examples that still used the removed stream_class/flat callback API, and add a regression guard against reintroducing the retired configuration syntax.
