Changes for version 0.14

  • IO::Async::Set subclasses and IO::Async::Buffer are now completely deprecated. Any attempt to use them will fail immediately.
  • ADDITIONS:
    • 'keep' ChildManager operation
    • IO::Async::Test::wait_for_stream()
    • Loop->listen()
    • IO::Async::Sequencer class
  • CHANGES:
    • Support dynamic swapping of temporary 'on_read' handlers in Stream
    • Now requires Socket::GetAddrInfo >= 0.08
    • Further shortcuts in ChildManager setup keys - IO references and simple string operation names
    • Support handle-less IO::Async::Notifiers that have IO handles added to them later
    • Allow 'setup' key to Loop->detach_code()
    • Various documentation updates
  • BUGFIXES:
    • Allow the same filehandle to be 'dup'ed more than once in ChildManager
