2.1.0 Beta 1

Preliminary Feature Release

• API Documentation and User Guide
• Distribution (via NuGet)

Changes since 2.0.0

• Features
  • Support async/await: Installing this package allows .NET 3.5+ projects to use async/await when developing and compiling code with Visual Studio 2012 or newer
    • Support for async/await in .NET 3.5 applications is provided by this package directly
    • Support for async/await in .NET 4.0 applications is provided by a new dependency on Microsoft.Bcl.Async
  • Added new CoreTaskExtensions.Catch overloads which support exception filtering

2.0.0

Major release

• API Documentation and User Guide (see latest release)
• Distribution (via NuGet)

Changes since 1.1.0

• Distribution
  • This library is now distributed under the NuGet package ID TunnelVisionLabs.Threading
• Features
  • Added CoreTaskExtensions.ObserveExceptions<TTask>
• Compatibility improvements
  • Improved compatibility with Microsoft.Bcl (#67)
  • Improved signing policy (#68, #69)
  • Added ability to drop-in binaries for different target frameworks (excluding .NET 3.5) (#70, #72, #73, #79, #85)
• Bug fixes
  • Ensure faults from unexposed tasks created by this library are observed (#89)

Breaking changes

❗ Due to the change in keys used for the assembly strong names, this release breaks binary compatibility with the previous release. Attempts to use assembly binding redirection from earlier versions will fail. Source compatibility should be well-preserved (meaning code that compiled against 1.x should compile against 2.0 without changes).

Note that IProgress<T> was moved to the System namespace. In many cases users will already have a using directive in place for this namespace, but in some cases code will need to be updated before compiling against 2.0.0.
