📣 📣 📣

kotlinx.coroutines

version 0.17 is released. It has a new

CompletableDeferred

primitive;

Job.join

and

Deferred.await

are waiting for coroutine’s execution on cancellation;

CoroutineScope.context

is renamed to

coroutineContext

and more. A full list of changes is here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/CHANGES.md

All factory functions for various interfaces are implemented as top-level functions

I glad to see that. I hope we move from overusing

invoke

just for the fun of it.

It was fun, but too baroque and hard to get to less-experienced Kotlin users. Top-level functions serve the same need in a more straight-forward way

@elizarov No tag with release notes yet on GitHub https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/releases Just want to add link to release notes for kotlin-coroutines-retrofit

@gildor Good catch. Fixed (tagged)
