I/O reactor v0.1

Concurrent I/O without rust async problems

This is the first release of a library implementing reactor pattern, which allows concurrent I/O and new types of simple and yet powerful microservice-based applications in rust, without polluting all APIs with asyncs.

This initial release provides:

• fully-documented reactor API;
• support for both listener-type resources (able to spawn more resources, like TcpListeners) and transport-style resources;
• timer management;
• multi-threaded controller for the reactor;
• works with any resource which can be represented as a file descriptor (files, POSIX sockets, pipes, TCP, UDP and other network connections, database handlers, devices and periphery);
• easy integration with multi-layer network protocols (like SOCKS5 proxy combined with end-to-end encryption);
• popol poll engine by @cloudhead.

The creation of the library was inspired by @cloudhead work on nakamoto reactor.

API reference documentation for the library can be accessed at https://docs.rs/io-reactor/.
