POE 1.0 released!
Rocco Caputo
It's the moment you've all been waiting for: POE 1.0 is on the CPAN.
You can download it right now. What are you waiting for?
As with most releases, this one is overdue and contains a lot of
fixes. Here are some of the highlights:
Large parts of the documentation have been rewritten: POE,
POE::Kernel, POE::Session, POE::Wheel, POE::Driver, POE::Filter and
POE::Loop. The new format is more booklike. So THERE, people who
want a book!
Yuval Kogman, Chris Williams, Pravus, Philip Gwyn, Matt Sickler, and
David Davis reviewed and edited the new documentation. Your feedback
is also welcome, as are patches.
Pravus fixed a double InputEvent condition when POE::Wheel::FollowTail
was aimed at an empty file.
Chris Williams improved compatibility with Perl builds compiled by
Borland C++.
Markus Jansen's patch fixed a memory leak when Socket6 isn't present
on Solaris 2.6.
The POE::Loop tests were abstracted into a separate distribution so
that loop authors can inherit some of POE's extensive test suite. A
big shout out goes to Benjamin Smith for his work on the tests.
POE::Api::Ctl and POE::API::ResLoader were removed.
Worked around SIGDIE re-entrancy issues by making it asynchronous
rather than pre-emptive.
A lot of test fixes by Chris Fedde, Chris Williams, and others.
...
This release has been so long in the making that I'm sure I've
forgotten people. Thank the next POE developer you meet---chances are
good that they've done something wonderful with (or to) the project.
Thanks again to Benjamin Smith and the Google Summer of Code 2006 for
vastly improving POE's tests and eliminating the N-1th hurdle to
releasing 1.0.

It's often a bad idea to announce anything on 1 April, especially if
it's unusual. :)

Indeed!
