Missing IOManager in Akka 2.3.6

Question

Hi I searched the documentation and the migration page, but I was not able to find the replacement or a explanation what actually happened to IOManager since akka 2.2.4?!

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I believe that using the IOManager directly was deprecated at some point in 2.2. If you look at the scala docs for that class all of the methods instruct you to use the new system in the akka.io package. I believe they went this way to give you the ability to use I/O with different protocols (TCP, UDP) by passing the right extension into the akka.io.IO.apply
