Icicle v0.9.5 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-02-21 // almost 8 years ago

  • 🔄 Changed

    • Awaitables are now synchronously resolved. Callbacks are immediately invoked when an awaitable is resolved. Callbacks registered with then(), done() or other methods will invoke the callback immediately if the awaitable has been resolved. This change was made to improve performance in coroutines. If resolving an awaitable in an object, be sure to cleanup the objects state before resolving the awaitable. With this change, methods on the object could be called before the method resolving the awaitable finishes. While some changes were needed within this library and some of the basic Icicle packages, application code built on coroutines should see no effects from this change.
    • 🚦 Renamed signalHandlingEnabled() to isSignalHandlingEnabled() in Icicle\Loop\Loop to be consistent with other method naming conventions. The function Icicle\Loop\signalHandlingEnabled() was also renamed to Icicle\Loop\isSignalHandlingEnabled().
    • Immediates are now invoked only if there are no active events in the loop. An active event is one where the event has occurred, but the callback has not yet been invoked. As before, only a single Immediate is invoked before polling streams for data, invoking timers, or checking for signals.
    • Cancelled coroutines now continue executing their generator function, allowing coroutines to execute cleanup code in try/catch blocks. As before, if a coroutine is waiting on an awaitable at the time it is cancelled, that awaitable is still cancelled. The cancellation reason is then thrown into the generator.
