• v0.7.3 Changes

  August 28, 2015

  💥 Breaking changes

  • 📦 Kotlin's fiber function has been moved to the co.paralleluniverse.kotlin package, has several convenient overloads and by default will also start the fiber.

  🆕 New features

  • co.paralleluniverse.kotlin also includes a convenient select syntax to perform channel selection:

    val ch1 = Channels.newChannel<Int>(1)val ch2 = Channels.newChannel<Int>(1) assertTrue ( fiber { select(Receive(ch1), Send(ch2, 2)) { it } }.get() is Send) ch1.send(1) assertTrue ( fiber { select(Receive(ch1), Send(ch2, 2)) { when (it) { is Receive -> it.msg is Send -> 0else -> -1 } } }.get() == 1)

  • ⏱ The new FiberForkJoinScheduler.onIdle() hook notifies when the fiber scheduler becomes idle.

  👌 Improvements

  • ⬆️ Several dependencies upgraded

  Closed issues:

  • #111
  • #110
  • #109
  • #108

  • e755bf5
  • 0f65292
  • 6612b71

• v0.7.2 Changes

  June 25, 2015

  🆕 New features:

  • A fully TCK-compliant Reactive Streams implementation based on Quasar Channels in the quasar-reactive-streams module

  👌 Improvements:

  • 🐎 Instrumentation optimisation has been introduced: methods that don't need instrumentation will be left untouched and this improves performance
  • 🐎 Instrumentation verification is more precise, it checks call sites (see #86) and it prints extended stack trace information on HotSpot JRE 8; in addition it works even without verification enabled (and without performance penalty) when an uncaught exception is thrown in a fiber
  • 👌 Improved JDK8-optimised build, no duplicate classes anymore (see #91)
  • 🛠 Minor channels improvements and fixes
  • ⬆️ Kotlin upgraded to 0.12.613(post-M12) and several other dependencies upgrade
  • 👍 The @Suspendable annotation is now supported on individual interface methods rather than just on the whole interface

  Closed issues:

  • #86
  • #91
  • #93
  • #94
  • #95
  • #96
  • A minor issue in scanSuspendables has been addressed, it sometimes included unnecessary (but harmless) lines in suspendable-supers

  Notes:

  • 🚧 The Gradle wrapper has been removed to simplify the codebase and its maintenance. If you're building Quasar locally just install the latest Gradle distribution before doing so and use plain gradle
