Changes for version 0.10

  • Renamed events and methods in IO::Async::Notifier to better fit the naming scheme of normal Perl handles. Backward-compatibility hooks are currently provided, but will be removed in a later release. Any code using the old names should be updated
  • CHANGES:
    • Allow DetachedCode to have multiple back-end worker processes.
    • Control if a back-end worker exits when the code "die"s
    • Added 'close()' method on Notifiers/Buffers. Sensible behaviour on buffers with queued data to send
    • Reset %SIG hash in ChildManager->detach_child()
  • BUGFIXES:
    • Clean up temporary directory during testing
    • Shut down DetachedCode workers properly on object deref
    • Better handling of borderline timing failures in t/11set-*.t
    • Close old handles before dup2()ing new ones when detaching code
    • Various other minor test script improvements
