* deprecates awaitTermination, shutdown and isTerminated
* introduces a terminate-method that returns a Future[Unit]
* introduces a whenTerminated-method that returns a Future[Unit]
* simplifies the implementation by removing blocking constructs
* adds tests for terminate() and whenTerminated
* because it is not referentially transparent; normally we reserved parens for
side-effecting code but given how people thoughtlessly close over it we revised
that that decision for sender
* caller can still omit parens
- rewrite deprecated usages to their recommended counterparts
- TestActorRef now verifies mailbox requirements
- CallingThreadMailbox now exposes proper messageQueue type for
inspection
- it is not recommended to use Props.apply(=> Actor) within an Actor
- it is recommended to use that method in the Props factory method in
an actor’s companion object
Props constructors need to be deprecated instead of being mutated
because we cannot just start throwing exceptions in people’s existing
code. Props.withCreator is deprecated for similar reasons, but also
because Props are about the creators, so replacing that after the fact
is not good style.
also included:
- a complete rewrite of the TCP docs based on real/tested/working code
samples
- an EchoServer implementation which handles all the edge cases,
available in Java & Scala
- renamed StopReading to SuspendReading to match up with ResumeReading
- addition of Inbox.watch()
- Inbox RST docs for Java(!) and Scala
not included:
- ScalaDoc / JavaDoc for all IO stuff
- DeathPactException => Stop in defaultStrategy
- ensure that after calling `context unwatch ref` we will not process a
Terminated(`ref`) anymore, even if it was already enqueued (i.e.
unwatch() happens between DeathWatchNotification and Terminated)
* Deprecate all actorFor methods
* resolveActorRef in provider
* Identify auto receive message
* Support ActorPath in actorSelection
* Support remote actor selections
* Additional tests of actor selection
* Update tests (keep most actorFor tests)
* Update samples to use actorSelection
* Updates to documentation
* Migration guide, including motivation
- Moved system messages to their own package.
- All queueing operations are now hidden behind a SystemMessageList value class
- Introduced dual SystemMessageList types to encode the ordering in the type.
- Protects against accidentally missed reverse calls or accidentally reversed lists
- Makes ordering expectations by fields/parameters explicit
- Fixed serialization tests
- Fixes to logging in HierarchyStressSpec
* To make it possible to override with application
specific logging, or mute logging for certain failures
* Changed log level of Resume failures to WARNING, which
caused all the changes to the tests
