v4.2.022 Nov 2023Release notes
Open source →-
Feature: Add Promise v3 template types for all public functions.
(#40 by @WyriHaximus and @clue)All our public APIs now use Promise v3 template types to guide IDEs and static
analysis tools (like PHPStan), helping with proper type usage and improving
code quality:assertType('bool', await(resolve(true))); assertType('PromiseInterface<bool>', async(fn(): bool => true)()); assertType('PromiseInterface<bool>', coroutine(fn(): bool => true));
-
Update test suite to avoid unhandled promise rejections.

Update test suite, add PHPStan with
maxlevel and report failed assertions.

v4.0.011 Jul 2022Release notes
Open source →A major new feature release, see release announcement.
-
We'd like to emphasize that this component is production ready and battle-tested.
We plan to support all long-term support (LTS) releases for at least 24 months,
so you have a rock-solid foundation to build on top of. -
The v4 release will be the way forward for this package. However, we will still
actively support v3 and v2 to provide a smooth upgrade path for those not yet
on PHP 8.1+. If you're using an older PHP version, you may use either version
which all provide a compatible API but may not take advantage of newer language
features. You may target multiple versions at the same time to support a wider range of
PHP versions:4.xbranch (PHP 8.1+)3.xbranch (PHP 7.1+)2.xbranch (PHP 5.3+)
This update involves some major new features and a minor BC break over the
v3.0.0release. We've tried hard to avoid BC breaks where possible and
minimize impact otherwise. We expect that most consumers of this package will be
affected by BC breaks, but updating should take no longer than a few minutes.
See below for more details:-
Feature / BC break: Require PHP 8.1+ and add
mixedtype declarations.
(#14 by @clue) -
Feature: Add Fiber-based
async()andawait()functions.
(#15, #18, #19 and #20 by @WyriHaximus and #26, #28, #30, #32, #34, #55 and #57 by @clue) -
Project maintenance, rename
mainbranch to4.xand update installation instructions.
(#29 by @clue)
The following changes had to be ported to this release due to our branching
strategy, but also appeared in thev3.0.0release:Release notes

v3.2.022 Nov 2023Release notes
Open source →This release contains backported features from the Async v4.2.0 release for those
not yet on PHP 8.1+. Async v3 provides a compatible API, but may not take advantage
of newer language features. We encourage upgrading to the latest version when possible.-

v1.0.0release that
has been deprecated since 2013. Accordingly, most consumers of this package
should not be affected by any BC breaks. See below for more details:-

Support promise cancellation and upcoming Promise v3.
(#6, #7, #9 and #46 by @clue) -
