- every actor is now supervised, where the root of the tree is
app.guardian, which has its supervisor field set to a special ActorRef
obtained from provider.theOneWhoWalksTheBubblesOfSpaceTime (this name
is meant to indicate that this ref is outside of the universe, cf.
Michio Kaku)
- changed all tests to obtain specially supervised children (i.e. not
top-level) via (supervisor ? Props).as[ActorRef].get
- add private[akka] ScalaActorRef.sendSystemMessage for sending
Supervise()
- everything routing or remote is broken wrt. supervision, as that was
not “properly” implemented to begin with, will be tackled after
app/supervision/eventbus/AkkaSpec are stabilized enough
- remove global Config
- pull everything which depended on it into new AkkaApplication
- leave EventHandler alone for the moment: that evil sucker gets his
very own AkkaApplication("akka-reference.conf") until we have settled
on an acceptable logging API without globals
- make akka-actor and akka-testkit compile
- TestKit uses implicit AkkaApplication passing for maximum convenience
- Actor object nearly completely removed, actor creation possible via
ActorRefFactory interface which is implemented by AkkaApplication and
ActorContext
- serialization of ActorRef is probably broken, and so is the reflective
RemoteSupport (now needs AkkaApplication constructor arg)
- everything else is still broken, including akka-actor-tests, so this
is of course all not runtime-tested
