Changelog of @hackage/async 2.2.1

Changes in 2.2.1:

  • Add a Hashable instance for Async
  • Bump upper bounds
  • Documentation updates

Changes in 2.2:

  • cancel now throws AsyncCancelled instead of ThreadKilled
  • link and link2 now wrap exceptions in ExceptionInLinkedThread when throwing to the linked thread. ExceptionInLinkedThread is a child of AsyncException in the exception hierarchy, so this maintains the invariant that exceptions thrown asynchronously should be AsyncExceptions.
  • link and link2 do not propagate AsyncCancelled, so it's now possible to cancel a linked thread without cancelling yourself.
  • Added linkOnly and link2Only to specify which exceptions should be propagated,if you want something other than the default behaviour of ignoring AsyncCancelled.
  • new utility function compareAsyncs for comparing Asyncs of different types.
  • Add a Hashable instance for Async a

Changes in 2.1.1.1:

  • Make 'cancelWith' wait for the cancelled thread to terminate, like 'cancel'
  • Updates to dependency bounds for GHC 8.2

Changes in 2.1.1:

  • Add concurrently_
  • Add replicateConcurrently
  • Add replicateConcurrently_
  • Fix incorrect argument order in forConcurrently_

  • withAsync now reliably kills the thread, by using an uninterruptible cancel
  • Make cancel wait for the thread to finish, and adjust 'concurrently' to match
