sleepy_penguin 3.5.0
Most notably, kevent and epoll_wait wrappers are now
nestable, so you can write your own event loops inside
somebody elses event loop (not that it's a good idea,
but hey, that's reality, sometimes).

For Linux users, there is now copy_file_range(2) support
for copying regular files:
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-copy_file_range
There is also a new sendfile wrapper which emulates Linux
sendfile behavior regardless of platform. It will use the
native sendfile(2) syscall on FreeBSD and Linux, at least.

Wrappers for the splice(2) and tee(2) syscalls also exist for
Linux users (vmsplice(2) is omitted):
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-splice
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#method-c-tee
Along with some related constants:

https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_SETPIPE_SZ
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_MORE
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_MOVE
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin.html#F_NONBLOCK
In other words, this release merges the useful parts of the old
"io_splice" RubyGem: https://bogomips.org/ruby_io_splice/
Linux 4.5+ epoll users also get EPOLLEXCLUSIVE along existing
constants:
https://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin/SleepyPenguin/Epoll.html#EXCLUSIVE
Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 support are both gone, Ruby 2.0.0+ is required
for keyword args, now(*).
