Changes for version 0.61 - 2013-10-15

  • CHANGES
    • Some OSes lack signals; forbid the ->*_signal methods, and use waitpid() polling for child processes if so
    • Rearrangement of $loop->listen and IO::Async::Listener logic to allow Listener subclasses to use listen extensions (e.g. SSL)
    • Allow ->listen to construct new Stream or Socket handles
    • Updated documentation and tests to emphasise futures with resolver and ->listen
    • Support spawning threads and watching for exit
    • Support IO::Async::Routine based on threads
    • Various MSWin32 improvements and fixes - it now passes tests \o/
    • Declare that MSWin32 does not support POSIX-like fork(); skip all unit tests and functionallity based on it if so
    • Note: These changes break IO::Async::SSL versions 0.12 or older.
  • BUGFIXES
    • Ensure that $stream->write( CODE, on_write/write_len ) works correctly
    • With many thanks to Mithaldu for the use of his Windows smoker for development and testing of the MSWin32 fixes
