CHANGES
===== 5.0.0 (2019-12-15) =====
====== Breaking ======
See #584 for an extended summary and discussion of this release as a whole, or
individual issues for each change specifically.
* The callback passed to Lwt.async must now evaluate to unit Lwt.t, rather
than _ Lwt.t (#603, requested @cfcs).
* Lwt.choose, Lwt.nchoose, Lwt.nchoose_split, Lwt.pick, and Lwt.npick now
raise Invalid_argument if given the empty list (#557, Tim Reinke).
* Catch nested calls to Lwt_main.run (#607, #609, prompted François-René
Rideau).
* Use the new Lwt_unix.IO_vectors in Lwt_unix.recv_msg and Lwt_unix.send_msg
(#594, prompted Marcello Seri).
* Make Lwt_unix.Async_switch a synonym for Lwt_unix.Async_detach (#572).

===== 4.3.0 (2019-08-20) =====
====== Planned to break in 5.0.0 ======
For general discussion of breakage in Lwt 5.0.0, see #584. See #293 about how
Lwt announces and does breaking changes.*
* The signature of Lwt.async will change from (unit -> 'a Lwt.t) -> unit to
(unit -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit (#603, prompted @cfcs).
* Lwt_unix.send_msg and Lwt_unix.recv_msg will be changed to take
Lwt_unix.IO_vectors.t instead of Lwt_unix.io_vectors (#702, prompted
Marcello Seri).
* Nesting calls to Lwt_main.run will be forbidden, and will raise an
Failure. Most programs don't do this (#609, prompted François-René Rideau).
* configure.ml will be removed in favor of an improved discover.ml This
affects only users who are configuring Lwt as part of a manual installation
(i.e., not users of opam or esy). See discover.ml for usage (#700).
* Lwt_unix.async_method will have no effect. In practice, it already does
nothing, and has almost no users (#572).

===== 4.0.0 (2018-03-30) =====
====== Breaking ======
These changes were announced in Lwt 3.1.0 and Lwt 3.2.0. See #453 about smooth
upgrade paths.
* Delete package lwt.ppx. The PPX syntax is in package lwt_ppx since Lwt 3.2.0
(#338).
* Remove >> syntax from the PPX (#495).
* Delete modules Lwt_log, Lwt_daemon, Lwt_log_core, and package lwt.log. These
are in package lwt_log since Lwt 3.2.0, but it is recommended to use
Logs_lwt from the logs library instead (#484, initiated Hannes Mehnert).
* Delete package lwt.preemptive. It is an alias for lwt.unix since Lwt 3.2.0
(#487).
* Delete package lwt.syntax. The Camlp4 syntax is in package lwt_camlp4 since
Lwt 3.2.0 (#370).

a forever-pending promise. Also applies to Lwt.choose, Lwt.npick,
Lwt.nchoose, and Lwt.nchoose_split (#562, Tim Reinke, prompted Hezekiah
Carty).
* Remove translation of [%lwt ...] to Lwt.catch from the PPX (#527).
* Remove -no-debug option from the PPX (#528).
* Remove Lwt_log support from the PPX (#520).
====== Bugs fixed ======
* Lwt_io.file_length now fails with EISDIR when used on a directory (#563,
requested Cedric Cellier).
* Lwt_react.E.limit and Lwt_react.S.limit now working more correctly (#566,
@Freyr666).
====== Miscellaneous ======
* Documentation improvements (#561, Jason Evans).
===== 3.3.0 (2018-03-07) =====
====== Bugs fixed ======
* Restore backtrace support (#554, #556, Gabe Levi).

* Documentation improvements (#544, #546, #547, #553, #559, Daniil Baturin,
Jason Evans, Jess Smith, Milo Turner).
===== 3.2.1 (2018-01-11) =====
Lwt 3.2.1 is released because it still packages lwt.ppx, a deprecated copy of
package lwt_ppx, and the two packages should be kept in sync.
====== Deprecations ======
* All PPX options are deprecated and should not be used (#534).
* The [%lwt ...] PPX syntax should be replaced by Lwt.catch (#534).
====== Fixes ======
* Clean up PPX -help usage message output (#525, Zan Doye).
====== Miscellaneous ======
* More thorough testing (#512, #535, Joseph Thomas).
* Clarification of the C binding (#521, @cedlemo).

* Lwt_io.open_temp_file, Lwt_io.with_temp_file (#467, Joe Thomas).
* New reference documentation for module Lwt (#469).
* Lwt_pool.clear and ?dispose argument for Lwt_pool.create (#483,

(#493, @koen-struyve).
* Leaked exceptions in Lwt_list (#499).
* Memory leak in Lwt_unix.getnameinfo (#503, Hannes Mehnert).
====== Planned to break in 4.0.0 ======
See #453 for details and instructions about planned breakage in Lwt 4.0.0.
* The semantics of Lwt will be adjusted for better exception and stack safety
(#500).
* The PPX will be factored out into its own opam package, lwt_ppx. This
package is installable from opam now, as of Lwt 3.2.0 (#338).
* Similarly, the deprecated Camlp4 syntax will be factored out into
lwt_camlp4, which is installable from opam now (#370).
* Modules Lwt_log, Lwt_log_core, Lwt_log_rules, and Lwt_daemon are being
deprecated and factored out into opam package lwt_log, also installable from
opam now. Use the logs library for logging, in particular module Logs_lwt.
Direct daemonization is deprecated on most platforms (#484, Hannes Mehnert).
* The >> construct from the PPX will be deleted (#471, Raphaël Proust).
* Package lwt.preemptive is being merged into lwt.unix. In 3.2.0,
lwt.preemptive becomes an alias for lwt.unix, and the package name
lwt.preemptive will be deleted in 4.0.0 (#487).
====== Deprecations ======
* Lwt.waiter_of_wakener should not be used, as it can lead to soundness bugs
in future (but not current) Lwt (#458).
* Lwt_sequence was deprecated in Lwt 2.6.0, but it now has a warning attached,
as do Lwt.add_task_r and Lwt.add_task_l, which use it (#361).
* Use of the following functions is discouraged, but they have not yet
received deprecation warnings: Lwt.with_value, Lwt.cancel, Lwt.state,
Lwt.ignore_result (#359, #469).
====== Miscellaneous ======
* Replace references to Camlp4 in the manual with the PPX (#457, Bobby
Priambodo).
* More tests for Lwt_pool (#464, Joe Thomas).

some fds (#356, David Sheets).
* Lwt_unix.sleep and Lwt_unix.timeout returning too early when using
libev (#433, Stijn Devriendt).
* Lwt_sequence.fold_r iterating the wrong way in some cases (#405,
Stijn Devriendt).
* Build conflicts in some cases due to duplicate cst_to_constr
function (#362, Jérémie Dimino).
* Don't use deprecated readdir_r system call (#430, Raphaël Proust).
====== Miscellaneous ======
* The Lwt core, lwt.ml, has been thoroughly refactored and commented
(#354, reviewed Gabriel Radanne, Edwin Török, Raphaël Proust, Jan
Doms, Fabian Hemmer, Sebastien Mondet, Simon Cruanes, Anil
Madhavapeddy, Pierre Chambart, and many others).
* Lots of tests for most of the Lwt core (#339, #389, #392, #440,
#448, #450, Joseph Thomas, Ryan Slade).
* Documentation fixes (including by Joseph Thomas, Raphaël Proust,
Richard Degenne, Stavros Polymenis).
* Contributing documentation (#379).
* Massively adjust whitespace for legibility (#400, #409, #416,
Richard Degenne).
* Improvements to CI (Etienne Millon, Raphael Rafatpanah, Zack Coker,
Yotam Barnoy).
* The additional packages lwt_ssl, lwt_react, lwt_glib get new minor
releases, the change being new Jbuilder build systems (#374, Andrew
Ray).
===== 3.0.0 (2017-04-10) =====
====== Breaking ======
* These changes were originally announced in release 2.7.0 (#308).
* Lwt_engine.libev now has an optional argument for selecting the libev back
end (#269, #294, Jeremy Yallop).
* Lwt_io.establish_server has been changed to make it more difficult to leak
file descriptors (#258, #260).
* Lwt_io.shutdown_server now evaluates to a promise, which completes when the
listening socket's close(2) operation completes (#259).
* Lwt_unix.bind now evaluates to a promise, because the bind(2) system call
can block for Unix domain sockets (#296, requested David Sheets).
* ocamlfind packages lwt.react, lwt.ssl, lwt.glib are replaced by lwt_react,
lwt_ssl, lwt_glib. These have been separate OPAM packages, under those
names, since 2.7.0 (#301).
===== 2.7.1 (2017-04-08) =====
====== Fixes ======
* OCaml 4.05 compatibility (Mauricio Fernandez, #322).
* Give Lwt_unix.file_exists the same semantics as Sys.file_exists, with
respect to not raising Unix.Unix_error (Mauricio Fernandez, #316).
* Improve diagnostics from build scripts (Tim Cuthbertson, #313, #314).
====== Additions ======
* Announce Lwt_result, which was originally released as an experimental module
in release 2.6.0 (Simon Cruanes, #320, #247).
===== 2.7.0 (2017-01-03) =====
====== General ======
* Values of types a Lwt.t are now referred to as promises rather than threads
(#300). The manual has not yet been updated.
====== Breaking ======
* After this release, Lwt will switch to semantic versioning. Future breaking
changes will first require deprecation, then a major version number increase
(#293).
* Lwt no longer supports OCaml 4.01 (#272).
* Lwt_unix.fdatasync is no longer available on macOS. It was calling an
undocumented system call on that system (#285, Jeremy Yallop).
====== Planned to break in 3.0.0 ======
* APIs in this category have deprecation messages attached. The messages will
be displayed if you recompile your code, and can also be seen in #308.
* Lwt_engine.libev will have an argument for selecting the libev back end
(#269, #294, Jeremy Yallop).
* Lwt_io.establish_server will be replaced by a version that makes it
difficult to leak file descriptors (#258, #260).
* Lwt_io.shutdown_server will evaluate to a promise, which indicates when the
close operation completes (#259).
* Lwt_unix.bind will evaluate to a promise, since bind can block for Unix
domain sockets (#296, requested David Sheets).
* ocamlfind packages lwt.react, lwt.ssl, and lwt.glib will be replaced by the
new lwt_react, lwt_ssl, and lwt_glib. These are now distributed in new OPAM
packages with the same names, separately from OPAM package lwt (#301).
====== Additions ======
* Lwt_unix.readv and Lwt_unix.writev - zero-copy scatter/gather I/O
(#291, #299).
* ?fail_on_error argument for Lwt_log.load_rules (#306, Daniil Baturin).
* Lwt_log.level_of_string (#306, Daniil Baturin).
====== Changes ======
* Lwt_stream.of_list, Lwt_stream.of_array, Lwt_stream.of_string now
immediately push all elements into the created streams
(#239, Spiros Eliopoulos).
====== Deprecations ======
* Lwt_stream.map_exn in favor of Lwt_stream.wrap_exn, which uses OCaml's
standard result type (#295).
====== Bugs fixed ======
* Ungraceful failure if directory handle used after Lwt_unix.closedir (#292).
* Buffer overflow in Lwt_unix.readdir and Lwt_unix.readdir_n (#292).
* Unnecessary allocations in Lwt_unix.readdir_n (#292, found Jeremly Yallop).
