This is a legacy project, do not use it for new projects. Ruby 2.3+ makes this obsolete. kgio provides non-blocking I/O methods for Ruby without raising exceptions on EAGAIN and EINPROGRESS. Note: I do not recommend using kgio for new code, Ruby 2.x has a lot of the functionality of kgio and Ruby 2.3+ has even more. \* homepage: [Index of /kgio/](https://yhbt.net/kgio/) \* public mailbox (no subscription, no HTML mail): [kgio-public@yhbt.net](mailto:kgio-public@yhbt.net) \* git clone [kgio.git - kinder, gentler I/O for Ruby](https://yhbt.net/kgio.git) - torsocks git clone [http://7fh6tueqddpjyxjmgtdiueylzoqt6pt7hec3pukyptlmohoowvhde4yd.onion/kgio.git](http://7fh6tueqddpjyxjmgtdiueylzoqt6pt7hec3pukyptlmohoowvhde4yd.onion/kgio.git) \* Atom feed [https://yhbt.net/kgio/NEWS.atom.xml](https://yhbt.net/kgio/NEWS.atom.xml) \* public mail archives: [kgio RubyGem user+dev discussion/patches/pulls/bugs/help](https://yhbt.net/kgio-public/)   [http://7fh6tueqddpjyxjmgtdiueylzoqt6pt7hec3pukyptlmohoowvhde4yd.onion/kgio-public/](http://7fh6tueqddpjyxjmgtdiueylzoqt6pt7hec3pukyptlmohoowvhde4yd.onion/kgio-public/)   nntp://7fh6tueqddpjyxjmgtdiueylzoqt6pt7hec3pukyptlmohoowvhde4yd.onion/inbox.comp.lang.ruby.kgio Changes:     kgio 2.11.4     This release fixes compatibility with GC.compact on Ruby 3.x.     Thanks to Ngan Pham for the patch and Aaron Patterson for the     feedback:       [https://yhbt.net/kgio-public/CAAvYYt5Z5f2rMuXO5DMpR1-6uRvu\_gXKDvqcyoZ+oNcLiTH39g@mail.gmail.com/T/](https://yhbt.net/kgio-public/CAAvYYt5Z5f2rMuXO5DMpR1-6uRvu_gXKDvqcyoZ+oNcLiTH39g@mail.gmail.com/T/)     kgio remains obsolete and deprecated, and it's primary dependent     will be updated to not depend on it in the future.
