RAA - io-reactor/0.05

This module is a pure-Ruby implementation of an asynchronous multiplexed IO Reactor which is based on the Reactor design pattern found in _Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects_. It allows a single thread to demultiplex and dispatch events from one or more IO objects to an appropriate handler.

This module used to be called Ruby-Poll, and used to use the poll(2) system call, but this strategy was not portable, and didn't work with Ruby's threads. This version is almost a complete rewrite of the internals, though it should work mostly the same from the outside. It now uses IO::select, which should work everywhere Ruby does.

Requires Ruby >= 1.8.0

Changes in this version:

* Registered handles can now store arguments to pass to event handlers.

* Corrected RAA entry which resulted from Mozilla apparently helpfully filling in incorrect values when I submitted the update for the previous release.
