it’s supposed to be the last release before merge to kotlinx.coroutines integrations.

@gildor: Is there a way to start requests in parallel from the same coroutines context like it is possible in the following library? https://github.com/tinsukE/retrofit-coroutines#but-why

[gildor]

you can wrap each call to async(CommonPool) { request.await() }

[gildor]

you can even create extension function for that

[louiscad]

Would work with async(UI) too on Android, right?

[gildor]

There are no blocking calls, so should work

[gildor]

I thought about call adapter that returns suspend results, but after all I decided that it requires change of retrofit interface and doesn’t worth it.

[gildor]

You can create extension function to do that

suspend fun Call<T>.awaitAsync(contet: Context) = async(Context) { await() }

[gildor]

(didn’t check the code, just an example)

[gildor]

also it should be more flexible, because you can pass particular context for each call
