v0.99.9

This patch upgrades our futures-rs version, allowing us to build on the 1.39
beta. Additionally we've introduced map and for_each to Stream. And we've
added about a dozen new FromStream implementations for std types, bringing
us up to par with std's FromIterator implementations.

And finally we've added a new "unstable" task::blocking function which can be
used to convert blocking code into async code using a threadpool. We've been
using this internally for a while now to async-std to power our fs and
net::SocketAddr implementations. With this patch userland code now finally has
access to this too.

Example

Create a stream of tuples, and collect into a hashmap

let a = stream::once(1u8);
let b = stream::once(0u8);

let s = a.zip(b);

let map: HashMap<u8, u8> = s.collect().await;
assert_eq!(map.get(&1), Some(&0u8));

Spawn a blocking task on a dedicated threadpool

task::blocking(async {
    println!("long-running task here");
}).await;

Added

• Added stream::Stream::map
• Added stream::Stream::for_each
• Added stream::Stream::try_for_each
• Added task::blocking as "unstable"
• Added FromStream for all std::{option, collections, result, string, sync} types.
• Added the path submodule as "unstable".

Changed

• Updated futures-preview to 0.3.0-alpha.19, allowing us to build on rustc 1.39.0-beta.
• As a consequence of this upgrade, all of our concrete stream implementations
  now make use of Stream::size_hint to optimize internal allocations.
• We now use GitHub Actions through actions-rs,
  in addition to Travis CI. We intend to fully switch in the near future.
• Fixed a bug introduced in 0.99.6 where Unix Domain Listeners would sometimes become unresponsive.
• Updated our sync::Barrier docs to match std.
• Updated our stream::FromStream docs to match std's FromIterator.

v0.99.8

This release came slightly ahead of schedule in order to fix compatibility issues with the newly released futures-preview@0.3.0-alpha.19 and Rust 1.39 beta release. Additionally we've introduced documentation for futures concurrency, and several new io::Read methods!

Added

• Added README to examples directory.
• Added concurrency documentation to the futures submodule.
• Added io::Read::take method.
• Added io::Read::by_ref method.

Changed

• Pin futures-preview to 0.3.0-alpha.18, to avoid rustc upgrade problems.
• Simplified extension traits using a macro.
• Use the broadcast module with std::sync::Mutex, reducing dependencies.

v0.99.7

This release includes 16 new APIs, including new streams combinators, Futures concurrency macros, and extensions to the sync and io submodules.

example using future::join

use async_std::future;

let a = future::ready(1);
let b = future::ready(2);
let c = future::ready(3);

let f = future::join!(a, b, c);
assert_eq!(f.await, (1, 2, 3));

• Added future::join macro as "unstable"
• Added future::select macro as "unstable"
• Added future::try_join macro as "unstable"
• Added future::try_select macro as "unstable"
• Added io::BufWriter struct
• Added stream::Extend trait
• Added stream::Stream::chain method
• Added stream::Stream::filter method
• Added stream::Stream::inspect method
• Added stream::Stream::skip_while method
• Added stream::Stream::skip method
• Added stream::Stream::step_by method
• Added sync::Arc struct from stdlib
• Added sync::Barrier struct as "unstable"
• Added sync::Weak struct from stdlib
• Added task::ready macro as "unstable"

Changed

• Correctly marked the pin submodule as "unstable" in the docs
• Updated tutorial to have certain functions suffixed with _loop
• io traits are now re-exports of futures-rs types, allowing them to be
  implemented
• stream traits are now re-exports of futures-rs types, allowing them to be
  implemented
• prelude::* now needs to be in scope for functions io and stream traits
  to work

v0.99.6

This release adds several new combinators, a work-stealing executor, and the ability to collect streams using IntoStream and FromStream.

Additionally async-attributes 1.0 has been released which adds support for async fn main, #[test] async fn, and #[bench] async fn.

Example

let a = stream::once(1u8);
let b = stream::once(2u8);
let c = stream::once(3u8);

let s = stream::join!(a, b, c);

assert_eq!(s.collect().await, vec![1u8, 2u8, 3u8]));

Added

• Added stream::Stream::collect as "unstable"
• Added stream::Stream::enumerate
• Added stream::Stream::fuse
• Added stream::Stream::fold
• Added stream::Stream::scan
• Added stream::Stream::zip
• Added stream::join macro as "unstable"
• Added stream::DoubleEndedStream as "unstable"
• Added stream::FromStream trait as "unstable"
• Added stream::IntoStream trait as "unstable"
• Added io::Cursor as "unstable"
• Added io::BufRead::consume method
• Added io::repeat
• Added io::Slice and io::SliceMut
• Added documentation for feature flags
• Added pin submodule as "unstable"
• Added the ability to collect a stream of Result<T, E>s into a
  Result<impl FromStream<T>, E>

Changed

• Refactored the scheduling algorithm of our executor to use work stealing

• Added stream::Stream::filter_map
• Added stream::Stream::find_map
