Changes for version 0.24

  • Timer subclasses - Countdown and Periodic
  • Idleness event watching via low-level 'watch_io/unwatch_io' methods and higher-level 'later' method
  • Added the missing 'unwatch_child' method
  • Shareable acceptance testing suite for IO::Async::Loop subclasses for better testing in subclass implementations
  • CHANGES:
    • More future-proof API version checking for subclasses - requires subclasses to declare their version.
      • pre-0.24 Loop subclasses are no longer compatible. ###
    • Entirely remove the need to $loop->enable_childmanager by calling waitpid() in 'watch_child'.
