    • Recognise 'inet' and 'unix' as socket families
    • Recognise 'stream', 'dgram' and 'raw' as socket types
    • Recognise nicer HASH-based addrinfo layout in ->connect and ->listen
    • Listener now has on_stream / on_socket as full events, not just CODEref parameters
    • Make Resolver->getaddrinfo try synchronously if given numeric names
    • Make Resolver->getnameinfo run synchronously if given NI_NUMERICHOST|NI_NUMERICSERV flags
    • Try to combine small data buffers from Stream->write calls if possible
  • BUGFIXES:
    • Linefeed in die case of getaddrinfo_hash to preserve exeception string
    • Deconfigure Protocol->transport after it is closed
