* Receive class that wraps PartialFunction, to avoid
scary scala types
* move AbstractActorContext to AbstractActor.ActorContext
* converting docs, many, many UntypedActor
* removing UntypedActor docs
* add unit test for ReceiveBuilder
* MiMa filters
* consistent use of getContext(), self(), sender()
* rename cross references
* migration guide
* skip samples for now
* improve match type safetyi, add matchUnchecked
* the `? extends P` caused code like this to compile:
`match(String.class, (Integer i) -> {})`
* added matchUnchecked, since it can still be useful (um, convenient)
to be able to do:
`matchUnchecked(List.class, (List<String> list) -> {})`
* eleminate some scala.Option
* preRestart
* findChild
* ActorIdentity.getActorRef
- rewrite deprecated usages to their recommended counterparts
- TestActorRef now verifies mailbox requirements
- CallingThreadMailbox now exposes proper messageQueue type for
inspection
- “case object” will emit a concrete class without constructor, so put
abstract class in its way in order to obtain an accessible type for
Scala & Java (i.e. without $)
- add “def instance = this” to make access uniform from Java
- this does not work for nested case objects because of missing static
forwarders, so keep those as they were
- fix issue with case object FromConfig colliding with case class
FromConfig by open-coding the “case”iness in this case (should be
thrown out in 2.1)
* Dispatchers need Scheduler to be able to shutdown themselves. Stop Scheduler after dispatchers.
* Changed CallingThreadDispatcher global object to Extension, since it holds map of references to mailboxes. Will be GC:ed when system is GC:ed.
* Made testActor lazy, since it is not used in all tests, and it creates CallingThreadDispatcher.
* Activated some java tests that were not running
* Many tests were not stopping created ActorSystems. VERY IMPORTANT TO STOP ActorSystem in tests. Use AkkaSpec as much as possible.
* Used profiler to verify (and find) dangling ActorSystemImpl and threads from dispatchers.
* FutureSpec creates ForkJoinPool threads that are not cleared, but number of threads don't grow so it's not a problem.
* All default values removed from code and loaded from akka-actor-reference.conf, located in src/main/resources (included in jar)
* Default test configuration included in AkkaSpec instead of using akka.test.conf, avoids problems when running test (in IDE) and forgetting to use -Dakka.mode=test.
* System.properties used first, if availble
* Next step will be to split akka-actor-reference.conf in separate -reference for each module
- create ActorSystemImpl trait to make ActorSystem fully abstract
- add Java API for constructing (ActorSystem.create(...))
- only go through factory methods because .start() has become necessary
- rename all user-facing occurrences of “app” to “system” (Actor trait
and TestKit/AkkaSpec)
- pass ActorSystemImpl to ActorRefs upon creation, which means that
actorOf() and friends need such an argument, which must be provided to
the ActorRefProvider by the ActorRefFactory implementation
