+### Supported Ruby versions
+
+MRI 1.9.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, JRuby (1.9 mode), and Rubinius 2.x are supported.
+This gem should be fully compatible with any interpreter that is compliant with Ruby 1.9.3 or newer.
+Java 8 is required for JRuby (Java 7 support is deprecated in version 0.9 and will be removed in 1.0).
+
+## Features & Documentation
+
+We have a roadmap guiding our work toward the [v1.0.0 release](https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby/issues/257).
+
+The primary site for documentation is the automatically generated [API documentation](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/frames.html)
+
+We also have a [mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/concurrent-ruby) and [IRC (gitter)](https://gitter.im/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby).
+
+This library contains a variety of concurrency abstractions at high and low levels. One of the high-level abstractions is likely to meet most common needs.
+
+#### General-purpose Concurrency Abstractions
+
+* [Async](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Async.html): A mixin module that provides simple asynchronous behavior to any standard class/object or object.
+* [Atom](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Atom.html): A way to manage shared, synchronous, independent state.
+* [Future](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Future.html): An asynchronous operation that produces a value.
+  * [Dataflow](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent.html#dataflow-class_method): Built on Futures, Dataflow allows you to create a task that will be scheduled when all of its data dependencies are available.
+* [Promise](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Promise.html): Similar to Futures, with more features.
+* [ScheduledTask](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/ScheduledTask.html): Like a Future scheduled for a specific future time.
+* [TimerTask](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/TimerTask.html): A Thread that periodically wakes up to perform work at regular intervals.
+
+#### Thread-safe Value Objects
+
+* `Maybe` A thread-safe, immutable object representing an optional value, based on
+  [Haskell Data.Maybe](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.2.0.1/docs/Data-Maybe.html).
+* `Delay` Lazy evaluation of a block yielding an immutable result. Based on Clojure's
+   [delay](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Delay.html).
+
+#### Thread-safe Structures
+
+Derived from Ruby's [Struct](http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Struct.html):
+
+* `ImmutableStruct` Immutable struct where values are set at construction and cannot be changed later.
+* `MutableStruct` Synchronized, mutable struct where values can be safely changed at any time.
+* `SettableStruct` Synchronized, write-once struct where values can be set at most once, either at construction or any time thereafter.
+
+#### Java-inspired ThreadPools and Other Executors
+
+* See [ThreadPool](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/file.thread_pools.html) overview, which also contains a list of other Executors available.
+
+#### Thread Synchronization Classes and Algorithms
+
+* [CountdownLatch](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/CountDownLatch.html)
+* [CyclicBarrier](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/CyclicBarrier.html)
+* [Event](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Event.html)
+* [Semaphore](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Semaphore.html)
+
+#### Thread-safe Variables
+
+* [AtomicBoolean](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/AtomicBoolean.html)
+* [AtomicFixnum](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/AtomicFixnum.html)
+* [AtomicReference](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/MutexAtomic.html)
+* [I-Structures](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/IVar.html) (IVar)
+* [M-Structures](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/MVar.html) (MVar)
+* [Thread-local variables](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/ThreadLocalVar.html)
+* [Software transactional memory](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/TVar.html) (TVar)
+* [ReadWriteLock](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/ReadWriteLock.html)
+* [ReentrantReadWriteLock](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/ReentrantReadWriteLock.html)
+
+### Edge Features
+
+These are available in the `concurrent-ruby-edge` companion gem, installed with `gem install concurrent-ruby-edge`.
+
+These features are under active development and may change frequently. They are expected not to
+keep backward compatibility (there may also lack tests and documentation). Semantic versions will
+be obeyed though. Features developed in `concurrent-ruby-edge` are expected to move to `concurrent-ruby` when final.
+
+* [Actor](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Actor.html):
+  Implements the Actor Model, where concurrent actors exchange messages.
+* [new Future Framework](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Edge/FutureShortcuts.html) - new
+  unified implementation of Futures and Promises which combines Features of previous `Future`,
+  `Promise`, `IVar`, `Event`, `Probe`, `dataflow`, `Delay`, `TimerTask` into single framework. It uses extensively
+  new synchronization layer to make all the features **non-blocking** and **lock-free** with exception of obviously blocking
+  operations like `#wait`, `#value`. It also offers better performance.
+* [Agent](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Agent.html): A single atomic value that represents an identity.
+* [Channel](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Channel.html):
+  Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP).
+* [Exchanger](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Exchanger.html)
+* [LazyRegister](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/LazyRegister.html)
+* [Atomic Markable Reference](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Edge/AtomicMarkableReference.html)
+* [LockFreeLinked Set](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Edge/LockFreeLinkedSet.html)
+* [LockFreeStack](http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/Edge/LockFreeStack.html)
+
+#### Statuses:
+
+*Why are these not in core?*
+
+- **Actor** - Partial documentation and tests; stability is good.
+- **Future/Promise Framework** - API changes; partial documentation and tests; stability good.
+- **Agent** - Incomplete behaviour compared to Clojure's models; stability good.
+- **Channel** - Missing documentation; limted features; stability good.
+- **Exchanger** - Known race condition requiring a new implementation.
+- **LazyRegister** - Missing documentation and tests.
+- **AtomicMarkableReference, LockFreeLinkedSet, LockFreeStack** - Needs real world battle testing
+
+## Usage
+
+All abstractions within this gem can be loaded simply by requiring it:
+
+```ruby
+require 'concurrent'
+```
+
+To reduce the amount of code loaded at runtime, subsets of this gem can be required:
+
+```ruby
+require 'concurrent'                # everything
+
+# groups
+
+require 'concurrent/atomics'        # atomic and thread synchronization classes
+require 'concurrent/executors'      # Thread pools and other executors
+
+# individual abstractions
+
+require 'concurrent/async'            # Concurrent::Async
+require 'concurrent/atom'             # Concurrent::Atom
+require 'concurrent/dataflow'         # Concurrent::dataflow
+require 'concurrent/delay'            # Concurrent::Delay
+require 'concurrent/future'           # Concurrent::Future
+require 'concurrent/immutable_struct' # Concurrent::ImmutableStruct
+require 'concurrent/ivar'             # Concurrent::IVar
+require 'concurrent/maybe'            # Concurrent::Maybe
+require 'concurrent/mutable_struct'   # Concurrent::MutableStruct
+require 'concurrent/mvar'             # Concurrent::MVar
+require 'concurrent/promise'          # Concurrent::Promise
+require 'concurrent/scheduled_task'   # Concurrent::ScheduledTask
+require 'concurrent/settable_struct'  # Concurrent::SettableStruct
+require 'concurrent/timer_task'       # Concurrent::TimerTask
+require 'concurrent/tvar'             # Concurrent::TVar
+
+# experimental - available in `concurrent-ruby-edge` companion gem
+
+require 'concurrent/actor'          # Concurrent::Actor and supporting code
+require 'concurrent/edge/future'    # new Future Framework
+require 'concurrent/agent'          # Concurrent::Agent
+require 'concurrent/channel '       # Concurrent::Channel and supporting code
+```
+
+If the library does not behave as expected, `Concurrent.use_stdlib_logger(Logger::DEBUG)` could help to reveal the problem.
+
+## Installation
+
+```shell
+gem install concurrent-ruby
+```
+
+or add the following line to Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'concurrent-ruby'
+```
+
+and run `bundle install` from your shell.
+
+### C Extensions for MRI
+
+Potential performance improvements may be achieved under MRI by installing optional C extensions.
+To minimize installation errors the C extensions are available in the `concurrent-ruby-ext` extension
+gem. `concurrent-ruby` and `concurrent-ruby-ext` are always released together with same version.
+Simply install the extension gem too:
+
+```ruby
+gem install concurrent-ruby-ext
+```
+
+or add the following line to Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'concurrent-ruby-ext'
+```
+
+and run `bundle install` from your shell.
+
+In code it is only necessary to
+
+```ruby
+require 'concurrent'
+```
+
+The `concurrent-ruby` gem will automatically detect the presence of the `concurrent-ruby-ext` gem
+and load the appropriate C extensions.
+
+#### Note For gem developers
+
+No gems should depend on `concurrent-ruby-ext`. Doing so will force C extensions on your users.
+The best practice is to depend on `concurrent-ruby` and let users to decide if they want C extensions.
+
+### Building
+
+All published versions of this gem (core, extension, and several platform-specific packages) are compiled,
+packaged, tested, and published using an open, [automated process](https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/rake-compiler-dev-box).
+This process can also be used to create pre-compiled binaries of the extension gem for virtally
+any platform. *Documentation is forthcoming...*
+
+```
+*MRI only*
+bundle exec rake build:native       # Build concurrent-ruby-ext-<version>-<platform>.gem into the pkg dir
+bundle exec rake compile:extension  # Compile extension
+
+*JRuby only*
+bundle exec rake build              # Build JRuby-specific core gem (alias for `build:core`)
+bundle exec rake build:core         # Build concurrent-ruby-<version>-java.gem into the pkg directory
+
+*All except JRuby*
+bundle exec rake build:core         # Build concurrent-ruby-<version>.gem into the pkg directory
+bundle exec rake build:ext          # Build concurrent-ruby-ext-<version>.gem into the pkg directory
+
+*When Docker IS installed*
+bundle exec rake build:windows      # Build the windows binary <version> gems per rake-compiler-dock
+bundle exec rake build              # Build core, extension, and edge gems, including Windows binaries
+
+*When Docker is NOT installed*
+bundle exec rake build              # Build core, extension, and edge gems (excluding Windows binaries)
+
+*All*
+bundle exec rake clean              # Remove any temporary products
+bundle exec rake clobber            # Remove any generated file
+bundle exec rake compile            # Compile all the extensions
+```

+#
+#   @note Time calculations one all platforms and languages are sensitive to

+#     associated with changing the system clock while an application is running,
+#     most modern operating systems provide a monotonic clock that operates

+
+# @!macro [new] copy_options
+#
+#   ## Copy Options
+#
+#   Object references in Ruby are mutable. This can lead to serious
+#   problems when the {#value} of an object is a mutable reference. Which
+#   is always the case unless the value is a `Fixnum`, `Symbol`, or similar
+#   "primative" data type. Each instance can be configured with a few
+#   options that can help protect the program from potentially dangerous
+#   operations. Each of these options can be optionally set when the oject
+#   instance is created:
+#
+#   * `:dup_on_deref` When true the object will call the `#dup` method on
+#     the `value` object every time the `#value` methid is called
+#     (default: false)
+#   * `:freeze_on_deref` When true the object will call the `#freeze`
+#     method on the `value` object every time the `#value` method is called
+#     (default: false)
+#   * `:copy_on_deref` When given a `Proc` object the `Proc` will be run
+#     every time   the `#value` method is called. The `Proc` will be given
+#     the current `value` as its only argument and the result returned by
+#     the block will be the return   value of the `#value` call. When `nil`
+#     this option will be ignored (default: nil)
+#
+#   When multiple deref options are set the order of operations is strictly defined.
+#   The order of deref operations is:
+#   * `:copy_on_deref`
+#   * `:dup_on_deref`
+#   * `:freeze_on_deref`
+#
+#   Because of this ordering there is no need to `#freeze` an object created by a
+#   provided `:copy_on_deref` block. Simply set `:freeze_on_deref` to `true`.
+#   Setting both `:dup_on_deref` to `true` and `:freeze_on_deref` to `true` is
+#   as close to the behavior of a "pure" functional language (like Erlang, Clojure,
+#   or Haskell) as we are likely to get in Ruby.
+
+# @!macro [attach] deref_options
+#
+#   @option opts [Boolean] :dup_on_deref (false) Call `#dup` before
+#     returning the data from {#value}
+#   @option opts [Boolean] :freeze_on_deref (false) Call `#freeze` before
+#     returning the data from {#value}
+#   @option opts [Proc] :copy_on_deref (nil) When calling the {#value}
+#     method, call the given proc passing the internal value as the sole
+#     argument then return the new value returned from the proc.
+
+# @!macro [attach] executor_and_deref_options
+#

+#     and to specify the executor on which to perform actions
+#   @option opts [Executor] :executor when set use the given `Executor` instance.
+#     Three special values are also supported: `:task` returns the global task pool,
+#     `:operation` returns the global operation pool, and `:immediate` returns a new
+#     `ImmediateExecutor` object.

+module Concurrent
+
+  # A mixin module that provides simple asynchronous behavior to any standard
+  # class/object or object. 
+  # 
+  # ```cucumber
+  # Feature:
+  #   As a stateful, plain old Ruby class/object
+  #   I want safe, asynchronous behavior
+  #   So my long-running methods don't block the main thread
+  # ```
+  # 
+  # Stateful, mutable objects must be managed carefully when used asynchronously.
+  # But Ruby is an object-oriented language so designing with objects and classes
+  # plays to Ruby's strengths and is often more natural to many Ruby programmers.
+  # The `Async` module is a way to mix simple yet powerful asynchronous capabilities
+  # into any plain old Ruby object or class. These capabilities provide a reasonable
+  # level of thread safe guarantees when used correctly.
+  # 
+  # When this module is mixed into a class or object it provides to new methods:
+  # `async` and `await`. These methods are thread safe with respect to the enclosing
+  # object. The former method allows methods to be called asynchronously by posting
+  # to the global thread pool. The latter allows a method to be called synchronously
+  # on the current thread but does so safely with respect to any pending asynchronous
+  # method calls. Both methods return an `IVar` which can be inspected for
+  # the result of the method call. Calling a method with `async` will return a
+  # `:pending` `IVar` whereas `await` will return a `:complete` `IVar`.
+  # 
+  # Very loosely based on the `async` and `await` keywords in C#.
+  # 
+  # ### An Important Note About Thread Safe Guarantees
+  # 
+  # > Thread safe guarantees can only be made when asynchronous method calls
+  # > are not mixed with synchronous method calls. Use only synchronous calls
+  # > when the object is used exclusively on a single thread. Use only
+  # > `async` and `await` when the object is shared between threads. Once you
+  # > call a method using `async`, you should no longer call any methods
+  # > directly on the object. Use `async` and `await` exclusively from then on.
+  # > With careful programming it is possible to switch back and forth but it's
+  # > also very easy to create race conditions and break your application.
+  # > Basically, it's "async all the way down."
