- <longdescription>
- 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').
-
- Changes in 2.0.1.3:
-
- * Bump @base@ dependency to allow 4.6
-
- Changes in 2.0.1.2:
-
- * Bump @stm@ dependency to 2.4
-
- Changes in 2.0.1.1:
-
- * Safe Haskell support: @Control.Concurrent.Async@ is now @Trustworthy@
-
- Changes in 2.0.1.0:
-
- * Added a @Functor@ instance for @Async@
-
- * Added @asyncBound@, @asyncOn@, @asyncWithUnmask@, @asyncOnWithUnmask@, @withAsyncBound@, @withAsyncOn@, @withAsyncWithUnmask@, @withAsyncOnWithUnmask@.
-
- * Added @mapConcurrently@
-
- * Added @Concurrently@ (with @Applicative@ and @Alternative@ instances)
