Changes for version 0.62 - 2014-03-27

  • CHANGES
    • Added IO::Async::Future->{done,fail}_later
    • Allow overriding of debug log file or file descriptor
    • Avoid Future's and_then/or_else methods
    • Allow Channel->recv in async mode to return a Future (RT91180)
    • Ensure that Function ->call Futures cancel correctly
    • Added $routine->kill
    • Kill the 'getaddrinfo' => 'getaddrinfo_array' legacy redirection
    • Allow Loop's resolver to be changed to a different object
  • BUGFIXES
    • Avoid relying on strong forward references in Future, by creating intentional cycles on pending Futures. Workaround for bugfix in upcoming Future release.
