| Summary: Run IO operations asynchronously and wait for their results | |
This package provides a higher-level interface over threads, in which an 'Async
a' is a concurrent thread that will eventually deliver a value of type 'a'.
The package provides ways to create 'Async' computations, wait for their
results, and cancel them.
Using 'Async' is safer than using threads in two ways:
* When waiting for a thread to return a result, if the thread dies with an
exception then the caller must either re-throw the exception ('wait') or handle
it ('waitCatch'); the exception cannot be ignored.
* The API makes it possible to build a tree of threads that are automatically
killed when their parent dies (see 'withAsync').

- Update Cabal build instructions to support ghc-8.6.1.
* Wed Jul 18 2018 psimons@suse.com
- Cosmetic: replace tabs with blanks, strip trailing white space,
and update copyright headers with spec-cleaner.
* Mon May 14 2018 psimons@suse.com
- Update async to version 2.2.1.
- Add a Hashable instance for Async
- Documentation updates
- cancel now throws AsyncCancelled instead of ThreadKilled
- link and link2 now wrap exceptions in ExceptionInLinkedThread when
throwing to the linked thread. ExceptionInLinkedThread is a child
of AsyncException in the exception hierarchy, so this maintains the
invariant that exceptions thrown asynchronously should be
AsyncExceptions.
- link and link2 do not propagate AsyncCancelled, so it's now
possible to cancel a linked thread without cancelling yourself.
- Added linkOnly and link2Only to specify which exceptions should be
propagated,if you want something other than the default behaviour
of ignoring AsyncCancelled.
- new utility function compareAsyncs for comparing Asyncs of
different types.
