  • CHANGES
    • Added 'prefork' option to IO::Async::Channel (RT115920) - thanks GMARLER
    • Prefer Sereal Channel encoding if that module is available
    • Ensure that IaFunction still prints debug information on futures
    • Miscellaneous spelling fixes in docs - thanks genio
  • BUGFIXES
    • 'use lib ".";' for perl 5.24
    • Make t/50resolver.t less sensitive to EAI_NONAME vs EAI_NODATA because some resolvers lie (RT113429)

    • Ensure that SIGPIPE is ignored if it's still at its default value
