POE::Test::Loops 1.020, and upcoming POE releases

POE::Test::Loops 1.020 has been released.   This is a suite of  
reusable tests for developers who want to add external event loop  
support to POE.  Version 1.020 acquires more signal handler tests from  
POE.   Existing POE::Loop authors should try the new tests at their  
earliest convenience.   Those who need the code right away can track  
the repository:

   svn co \
   https://poe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/poe/trunk/poe-test-loops ptl

A developer version of POE will be released shortly after the new  
tests work their way around CPAN.  The upcoming POE release  
incorporates Philip Gwyn's fixes for race conditions in POE's signal  
handlers.  Users who have noticed strange behavior during prolonged  
periods of signal activity should test against this release as soon as  
possible.  Those who want to get a jump on the changes can track POE's  
latest development through its repository:

   svn co \
   https://poe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/poe/trunk/poe poe

POE changes are also tracked at SourceForge, Ohlo and CIA.

POE 1.007 will officially go out after a successful round of testing.   
You're welcome to join us in irc.perl.org #poe to watch the CPAN  
tester fallout.

POE 1.008 will be released shortly afterward.  It will spin off some  
optional dependencies, mainly POE's "core" support for optional,  
external event loops.  POE::Loop::Event, POE::Loop::Gtk and  
POE::Loop::Tk will join their siblings on the CPAN.  Their test  
coverage should improve, and POE's distribution size and installation  
footprint will shrink.

Thank you.
