=== 0.3.1 / 2010-02-13 12:05 UTC

  This fixes a misuse of the Ruby API leading to memory leaks in
  cases where message queues are continually opened and closed
  throughout the lifetime of the application.

  Fortunately applications have little reason to repeatedly open
  and close message queue descriptors: they are
  multi-thread/multi-process-safe in every way imaginable and also
  capable of non-blocking operation.

=== 0.3.0 / 2010-01-09 23:11 UTC

  This release adds a few new API methods, fixes MRI 1.8.6
  support.  We should now have full feature parity with
  underlying POSIX message queue C API.

  * POSIX_MQ#notify(&block)
    RDoc: http://bogomips.org/ruby_posix_mq/POSIX_MQ.html#M000001
    This is only supported on platforms that implement
    SIGEV_THREAD with mq_notify(3) (tested with glibc + Linux).
    Other platforms will have to continue to rely on signal
    notifications via POSIX#notify=signal, or IO notifications
    in FreeBSD (and Linux).

  * POSIX_MQ#shift([buffer [,timeout]])
    Shorthand for the common "POSIX_MQ#receive.first"
    when you do not care for priority of the received message.

  Rev, EventMachine and Reactor support are planned for
  Linux, FreeBSD and possibly any other platforms where POSIX
  message queues are implemented with a file descriptor.

=== 0.2.0 / 2010-01-03 05:52 UTC

  This release fixes notification (un)registration and should be
  fully-supported on modern FreeBSD (7.2+) releases.

  POSIX_MQ#notify=nil correctly unregister notification requests.
  POSIX_MQ#notify=false now provids the no-op SIGEV_NONE
  functionality.  Under FreeBSD, using IO.select on POSIX_MQ
  objects is now possible as it has always been under Linux.
