Changes for version 0.03 - 2026-08-02
- Fetch->new(simple_response => 1): resolve to a plain unblessed hashref { status, headers, content } instead of a blessed Fetch::Response, so callers read fields directly and skip method dispatch. A lean option for consuming very large numbers of responses.
- Native Windows (MSWin32) port. A new socket/IO shim (ft_win.h) maps the ~dozen socket calls onto Winsock: sockets are wrapped in a CRT fd via _open_osfhandle so the rest of the core keeps its dense "int fd" model (per-fd callback arrays, the backend, TLS all unchanged), with the real SOCKET recovered only at the Winsock boundary and WSA errors mapped to errno. A select()-based readiness backend (backend_select.c) replaces poll (which Windows lacks)
- Link -lrt when clock_gettime needs it. backend_poll.c calls clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC), which lives in librt on glibc before 2.17
