I plan on preparing the release for 0.8.2 which will come out next week. Let me know if I need to hold off for any moving pieces. Now is the time to clean up old PRs and suggestions you may want for 0.8.2 🍻

https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/pull/1132 would be a really cool if it’s included but it’s probably easier do a

0.8.3

release in 2-4 weeks. It’ll enable generic

parMapN

,

raceN

,

start

(aka

fork

), cancellation in polymorphic contexts, … I gave writing the instance a couple of shots already but I’m seeing some very weird things. 🤞 maybe they’re fixed in coroutines 1.1.0. But there are already plenty of new cool things in

arrow-effects

to split it over 2 releases. I think we already added

Promise

,

Semaphore

,

asyncF

, bunch of instances, “fixed”

Deferred

since last release.

Ping me half way through next week with a status update on that and we can decide then if we include it on 0.8.2 or not

Alright, makes sense! I'm fine with doing more releases so people can use/try/play with featured faster.
