[ANN] mogilefs-client 3.10.0 - MogileFS client library for Ruby

[Eric Wong]

A MogileFS client library for Ruby.  MogileFS is an open source
distributed filesystem, see: http://mogilefs.org for more details.  This
library allows any Ruby application to read, write and delete files in a
MogileFS instance.

Changes:

    Ruby mogilefs-client 3.10.0

    A bunch of minor tweaks to reduce garbage and exceptions.

    In addition to the existing :timeout and :fail_timeout options,
    there is a new :connect_timeout directive for all connection
    classes which only controls the time spent waiting for a TCP
    connection.  This defaults to the same value as the existing
    :timeout option (3 seconds); but users are advised to lower
    it to match ideal network conditions.

    For users of Ruby 2.3+, this release takes advantage of
    exception-less Socket#connect_nonblock using "exception: false".
    Users of Ruby 2.1+ will also benefit from "exception: false"
    usage for read_nonblock and write_nonblock calls.
    kgio is no longer be useful with this release with Ruby 2.3+

    This release also fixes a Ruby 1.8.7 compatibility bug for
    non-kgio users.  However, this may be the last 1.8.7-compatible
    release.  Fwiw, I wanted to remove Ruby 1.8 support around 5
    years ago but several users were against it.   Maybe nobody will
    complain, this time...
