This is the first release candidate for version 0.3.0 of Tardy. This will ideally be a good place for development to stabilize around Frames and is intended to be a bug-fixing point before the official 0.3.0 release.

This changes a lot in general about the runtime that will be detailed below.

• Callbacks removed in favor of Coroutines (called Frames internally), allowing for much nicer composition across the board.
• New Filesystem API (including the new File and Dir struct that have pretty good inter-op with the standard library equivalents)
• New Socket API (including the new Socket struct). This officially supports TCP, UDP and Unix. It also properly supports getting address information about sockets now.
• Switch from the busy_loop to poll on POSIX-compliant systems, providing better cross-platform support.
• Support for unlimited max tasks for workloads with an unknown number of maximum tasks. This is supported through changes to the underlying Pool implementation.
• Switched AsyncIO struct to utilize a VTable approach, better standardizing the implementation.
• Async I/O implementations now provide the runtime with a list of Async capabilities. If an action is queued that is not supported by the Async I/O backend, it is handled through a non-blocking yielding loop.
• Stream abstraction for I/O.
• EXPERIMENTAL: Added triggers, allowing for tasks to suspend until they are woken up by a different task in the future.
• EXPERIMENTAL: Added a SPSC Channel, allowing for crosstask and crossthread communication.
