kgio 2.5.0 - a minor feature update

kgio provides non-blocking I/O methods for Ruby without raising
exceptions on EAGAIN and EINPROGRESS. It is intended for use with the
Unicorn and Rainbows! Rack servers, but may be used by other
applications (that run on Unix-like platforms).

Changes:

  • Kgio::File.tryopen method added. It is like File.open
    but won’t raise exceptions. The Kgio::File class includes
    Kgio::PipeMethods, so FIFOs opened through this get the
    kgio_* API.

  • The kgio_wait_*able methods in Kgio::DefaultWaiters
    now accept an optional timeout argument.

It almost surprises me that these methods raise an exception on failure,
instead of just returning nil like most ruby methods seem to…
