• Feature: Improve memory consumption by cleaning up garbage references. (#35 by @clue)

• Improve test suite by locking Travis distro so new defaults will not break the build, support PHPUnit 6 and update Travis config to also test against PHP 7.2. (#30 by @clue, #31 by @carusogabriel and #32 by @andreybolonin)

• Update project homepage. (#34 by @clue)

• Feature / Fix: Forward compatibility with future EventLoop v1.0 and v0.5 and cap small timeout values for legacy EventLoop (#26 by @clue)

• First class support for legacy PHP 5.3 through PHP 7.1 and HHVM (#24 and #25 by @clue)

• Feature: Add optional timeout parameter to all await*() functions (#17 by @clue)
• Feature: Cancellation is now supported across all PHP versions (#16 by @clue)

• First stable release, now following SemVer
• Improved documentation

Contains no other changes, so it's actually fully compatible with the v0.3.0 release.

• BC break: Use functional API approach instead of pseudo-OOP. All existing methods are now exposed as simple functions. (#13)

  // old
  $blocker = new Block\Blocker($loop);
  $result = $blocker->await($promise);
  
  // new
  $result = Block\await($promise, $loop);
  

• BC break: Rename methods in order to avoid confusion.
  • Rename wait() to sleep(). (#8)
  • Rename awaitRace() to awaitAny(). (#9)
  • Rename awaitOne() to await(). (#10)

• run() the loop instead of making it tick(). This results in significant performance improvements (less resource utilization) by avoiding busy waiting (#1)

• First tagged release
