kotlinx.coroutines v1.4.0-M1 Release Notes

  • 💥 Breaking changes

    • 🚚 The concept of atomic cancellation in channels is removed. All operations in channels and corresponding Flow operators are cancellable in non-atomic way (#1813).
    • ⏱ If CoroutineDispatcher throws RejectedExecutionException, cancel current Job and schedule its execution to Dispatchers.IO (#2003).
    • CancellableContinuation.invokeOnCancellation is invoked if the continuation was cancelled while its resume has been dispatched (#1915).
    • Flow.singleOrNull operator is aligned with standard library and does not longer throw IllegalStateException on multiple values (#2289).

    🆕 New experimental features

    • 🔊 SharedFlow primitive for managing hot sources of events with support of various subscription mechanisms, replay logs and buffering (#2034).
    • Flow.shareIn and Flow.stateIn operators to transform cold instances of flow to hot SharedFlow and StateFlow respectively (#2047).

    Other

    • 👌 Support leak-free closeable resources transfer via onUndeliveredElement in channels (#1936).
    • 🔄 Changed ABI in reactive integrations for Java interoperability (#2182).
    • 🛠 Fixed ProGuard rules for kotlinx-coroutines-core (#2046, #2266).
    • 👕 Lint settings were added to Flow to avoid accidental capturing of outer CoroutineScope for cancellation check (#2038).
