Changes for version 0.805 - 2026-01-19

  • CHANGES
    • Document and test that separate `->watch_io` calls for read and write-readiness work correctly
    • Implement (most of) the `Future::IO->poll` API in `Future::IO::Impl::IOAsync`
  • BUGFIXES
    • Ensure that `IO::Async::File` copes correctly with missing files (RT136578)
    • Test2's bail_out() is named in lowercase, not BAIL_OUT.
    • Update the `time_between()` test helper function to be better suited to `Test2`
