Changes for version 0.72 - 2018-04-02

  • CHANGES
    • Expanded docs on Stream's on_read sub return values
    • Overridable timeout for IO::Async::Test::wait_for
    • Hide IO::Async::ChildManager as an internal implementation detail; move the docs into main IO::Async::Loop
    • Added $loop->open_process; suggest using that instead of ->open_child
    • Begin implementation of $loop->is_running method (part of RT123780)
  • BUGFIXES
    • Make IO::Async::Future->await wait until it's ready
    • Fix calculation of periodic timer in 'skip' mode (RT124414)
    • Perform synchronous getaddrinfo shortcut even for service-less lookups
    • Make sure that errors from underlying read/write functions are debug-logged by IO::Async::Stream
