This project is versioned according to the Package Versioning Policy, the de facto standard Haskell versioning scheme.

1.2.1.1

• Date 2017-10-11
• Git tag concurrency-1.2.1.1
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.2.1.1

Control.Monad.Conc.Class

• The IO instance of MonadConc now names threads with GHC.Conc.labelThread, so thread names now appear in debugging traces of normal execution.

---

1.2.1.0

• Date 2017-10-02
• Git tag concurrency-1.2.1.0
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.2.1.0

Control.Concurrent.Classy.Async

• New named-thread variants of the async* functions: asyncN, asyncOnN, asyncWithUnmaskN, and asyncOnWithUnmaskN (#125).

---

1.2.0.0

• Date 2017-09-16
• Git tag concurrency-1.2.0.0
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.2.0.0

Control.Monad.STM.Class

• MonadSTM now has a MonadPlus constraint.
• The orElse and retry functions have been promoted to top-level definitions, and are aliases for mplus and mzero.

---

1.1.2.1

• Date 2017-06-07
• Git tag concurrency-1.1.2.1
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.1.2.1

Changed

• The isEmptyMVar function is now implemented using tryReadMVar instead of a combination of tryTakeMVar and putMVar. It no longer modifies the contents of the MVar and can no longer block.

Miscellaneous

• There is now a changelog.

---

1.1.2.0

• Date 2017-04-05
• Git tag concurrency-1.1.2.0
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.1.2.0

Control.Concurrent.Classy.Async

• New functions:
  • uninterruptibleCancel function, which is cancel inside an uninterruptible mask.
  • replicateConcurrently function, which performs an action many times in separate threads.
  • concurrently_, mapConcurrently_, forConcurrently_, and replicateConcurrently_ functions, which discard the result of the non-_ version.
• New instances:
  • Semigroup instance for Concurrently when built with base 4.9.
  • Monoid instance for Concurrently.

Control.Monad.Conc.Class

• The mask_ and uninterruptibleMask_ functions from Control.Monad.Catch are now re-exported.

Changed

• The cancel and the withAsync functions now block until the Async action terminates, to match changes in the main async package.

Miscellaneous

• Every definition, class, and instance now has a Haddock "@since" annotation.

---

1.1.1.0

• Date 2017-03-04
• Git tag concurrency-1.1.1.0
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.1.1.0

Miscellaneous

• The async-dejafu package has been pulled into this package as the Control.Concurrent.Classy.Async module. async-dejafu is now deprecated.

---

1.1.0.0

• Date 2017-02-21
• Git tag concurrency-1.1.0.0
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.1.0.0

Control.Monad.Conc.Class

• The MonadConc class now defines tryReadMVar, a non-blocking version of readMVar akin to tryTakeMVar.
• The MonadConc class no longer defines _concMessage, there is no alternative provided, it is just gone.

---

1.0.0.0

• Date 2016-09-10
• Git tag concurrency-1.0.0.0
• Hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency-1.0.0.0
