Awesome, I was looking forward to seeing the

kotlinx-coroutines-test

lib become multiplatform. THANK YOU 🙏

+1 to that. I can finally remove my hacky workarounds in jsMain(s) 😄

macOS, iOS and so on are missing

@Vsevolod Tolstopyatov [JB] are they being deployed or there was an issue?

@Javier it seems to be in order: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-coroutines-core-macosx64/1.6.0-RC/ https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-coroutines-core-macosarm64/1.6.0-RC/ https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-coroutines-core-iosarm64/1.6.0-RC/ https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-coroutines-core-iosarm32/1.6.0-RC/

@Vsevolod Tolstopyatov [JB] his point was about

kotlinx-coroutines-test

, not

kotlinx-coroutines-core

And indeed I don't see iOS stuff either:

Oh, thanks for pointing it out! It seems to be either build or sonatype issue, I’m investigating it right now

limitedParallelism

in 1.6.0 is super exciting, it has been requested so many times over the last few years in the form of thread pools, worker pools, etc. https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/2919

Will there be a native-mt for 1.6.0-RC?

Big Chungus

11/22/2021, 9:04 PM

No, release notes state that -native-mt is no longer needed and main artefacts will pick up new memory model if enabled.

Trevor Stone

11/22/2021, 9:04 PM

But the new memory model isn't production ready yet

From the release notes if you are opted in it will use, which is great, but if you aren't opted in I assumed it defaults to the old single threaded implementation

Big Chungus

11/22/2021, 9:05 PM

Oh you mean frozen mt. Yeah, might be worth sticking with -native-mt until new mm stabilises. No idea then.

@Vsevolod Tolstopyatov [JB] still missing apple artifacts 😞

@Vsevolod Tolstopyatov [JB]] I know I am disturbing, but is there any ETA about this one? maybe 1.6.0 final?

Vsevolod Tolstopyatov [JB]

12/06/2021, 12:52 PM

I’ve located the problem and the proper artifcats will either be released along with 1.6.0 final or 1.6.0-RC2

What was the problem exactly?

Javier

12/06/2021, 1:33 PM

milestones are on github?

Joffrey

Do you have any ETA for the 1.6.0-RC2 or 1.6.0 release with iOS artifacts?
