Splib is a library of helper methods and classes. Nothing fancy or  
flashy,  
just some simple helpers that are tested and known to work on Ruby \>=  
1.8.6 as  
well as JRuby 1.4.0

Quick overview in the README: [GitHub - spox/splib: The Spox Library](http://github.com/spox/splib)

# Changes in this version:

- Added new Splib.sleep to return actual sleep times that are useful
- Added Monitor#try\_lock
- Modify locking behavior on Monitor#signal and Monitor#broadcast
- CodeReloader.reload\_code returns new holder instead of gutted holder
- Added some simple checking to remove dead threads that fail to release  
their  
lock

# Fixes:

- Updates to Monitor#wait when used with a timeout
