]> Hello, The Lwt team is pleased to announce the release of Lwt 2.0.0. You can download it at: https://ocsigen.org/lwt/install This new version brings a lot of new features, including: * GLib integration: it is now possible to write cooperative application using GTK! * Terminal utilities: you can now write cooperative curses oriented application! * Cooperative readline: write a shell in 5 minutes! * A syntax extension to make code using lwt clearer * A proof of concept implementation of a new toplevel with line editing and completion support * New modules, helpers, ... Here is the complete list of changes from the previous version (1.1.0): * Adding modules: - Lwt_stream: lwt-aware version of the Stream module - Lwt_gc for using finalise without Lwt_unix.run - Lwt_io: a new implementation of buffered channels with more features and better handling of concurrent access - Lwt_text: implementation of text channels - Lwt_process: helpers to spawn processes and communicate with them - Lwt_main for abstracting the main loop and allowing replacement by a custom main loop - Lwt_glib for integration into the glib main event loop - Lwt_term for interaction with the terminal - Lwt_read_line for interactive user input - Lwt_monitor, Lwt_mvar: combined locks for synchronization with conditional variables for notification - Lwt_throttle for limiting rate of execution (e.g. for authentication procedures) - Lwt_sequence: mutable sequence of elements - Lwt_event, Lwt_signal: helpers for reactive programming with lwt * Adding a syntax extension pa_lwt: - handles anonymous bind a >> b - adds syntactic sugar for catching errors (ticket #6) - adds syntactic sugar for parallel let-binding construction - adds syntactic sugar for for-like loops * Top-level integration: - threads can runs while reading user input - line editing support * New enhanced OCaml toplevel with some basic completion features * Adding C stubs to reimplement Unix.read and Unix.write with assumption of non-blocking behaviour * Adding more functions/helpers in Lwt * Fixing memory leaks in Lwt.choose * Bugfix in Lwt_chan.close_* (ticket #66) * Separate the type of threads (covariant) from the type of thread wakeners (contravariant); the type of many functions related to Lwt.wait has been changed * Add cancelable threads * Unix-dependent part is now put in its own archive and findlib package. Enjoy! -- The Lwt team
