It is intended for use with the unicorn Rack server, but may be used by other applications (that run on Unix-like platforms). Note: I do not recommend using kgio for future applications, Ruby 2.x has a lot of the functionality of kgio and Ruby 2.3 has even more. Keep an eye on the NEWS file for Ruby 2.3+ releases. However, I'll continue maintaining kgio for legacy purposes indefinitely. * homepage: https://bogomips.org/kgio/ * public mailing list: kgio-public@bogomips.org * git clone git://bogomips.org/kgio.git * Atom feed https://bogomips.org/kgio/NEWS.atom.xml * mailing list archives: https://bogomips.org/kgio-public/ Changes: kgio 2.11.0 - reverting 2.10.0 breakage Mainly this release reverts back to kgio 2.9.3 behavior by supporting "autopush" functionality in the C extension. Removing this feature in 2.10.0 was a monumental mistake(*) on my part which caused a performance regression for ONE known user of kgio on the deprecated (but supported) Rainbows! server. This release does not affect known users outside of Rainbows!, but we may have unknown users, too. The attempt at a pure Ruby version of autopush had flaws and regressions in real-world testing, so that was abandoned. So yeah, kgio will be supported indefinitely even in the face of internal changes to MRI, but I strongly discourage its use for new projects. Users who only support Ruby 2.3 (and later) are encouraged to use `exception: false` with all *_nonblock methods. 4 changes since 2.10.0: resurrect Kgio.autopush support in pure Ruby [REVERTED] reinstate the original (and dangerous) autopush in C TODO: update with Ruby 2.3 status test: increase test data sizes to fill socket buffers (*) - as was making this a separate project, at all
