I am happy to announce the release of eventmachine 0.12.8. Gems  
(including  
binary builds for win32 and jruby) have been uploaded to rubyforge and  
should  
be available via `gem install` shortly.

This release contains almost 100 patches with numerous bug fixes,  
improvements  
and several new features. Highlights include:

- Major code cleanups

At this time, there are a few known issues which will be fixed for  
0.12.10,  
along with a couple new features that are in the works:

- EM.current\_time is broken

- ruby 1.9 win32 support

- EM::Iterator

- jruby patches

- require ‘openssl’ issues

- async dns lookups

- exceptions in post\_init/initialize are silently swallowed

- process watching on linux using netlink
