    • 📄 A [guide on coroutines](docs/topics/coroutines-guide.md) is expanded.

  • v0.5-beta Changes

    • Switched to Kotlin version 1.1.0-beta-22 (republished version).
    • ✂ Removed currentCoroutineContext and related thread-locals without replacement. Explicitly pass coroutine context around if needed.
    • 🏗 lazyDefer(context) {...} coroutine builder and LazyDeferred interface are introduced.
    • ⏱ The default behaviour of all coroutine dispatchers is changed to always schedule execution of new coroutine for later in this thread or thread pool. Correspondingly, CoroutineDispatcher.isDispatchNeeded function has a default implementation that returns true.
    • NonCancellable context is introduced.
    • 🐎 Performance optimizations for cancellable continuations (fewer objects created).
    • 📄 A [guide on coroutines](docs/topics/coroutines-guide.md) is added.

    • Introduced CancellableContinuation.isCancelled
    • 0️⃣ Introduced EventLoop dispatcher and made it a default for runBlocking { ... }
    • Introduced CoroutineScope interface with isActive and context properties; standard coroutine builders include it as receiver for convenience.
    • Introduced Executor.toCoroutineDispatcher() extension.
    • ⏱ Delay scheduler thread is not daemon anymore, but times out automatically.
    • Debugging facilities in newCoroutineContext can be explicitly disabled with -Dkotlinx.coroutines.debug=off.
    • ✅ xxx-test files are renamed to xxx-example for clarity.
    • 🛠 Fixed NPE in Job implementation when starting coroutine with already cancelled parent job.
    • 👌 Support cancellation in kotlinx-coroutines-nio module
