Is there a general timeline for when the Kotlin Coroutines team is looking to release 1.4.0-RC?

[zak.taccardi]

We have some migrations to do to prepare for 1.4 (migrate from ReceiveChannel<T> to Flow<T>) and need understand how much time we have before 1.4 to prioritize that work and other work

Not really. There will be at least 1.3.3 (this year) with changes in scheduler/test module. And then a lot of work in Flow for UI programming (state/data flows, sharing, etc.) for 1.4

@Vsevolod Tolstopyatov [JB] glad to hear the scheduler changes are coming sooner rather than later

i'm still quite sad that typed actors got put on the backburner though.
