Dear hakkers,
it has been four weeks since the last milestone was published, so it is high time for the next one. The user-visible changes we have been doing are getting smaller now, cleaning up a few syntax inconsistencies and a few cases where materialized values were picked according to the wrong default, so the good news is that the code base is stabilizing—the bad news is that this is not yet RC1 ;-) (I’m personally blaming ScalaDays, but on the other hand that was the fantastic kind of excuse that one just cannot be angry with.) The main changes in this milestone are: fix the bug in bindAndStartHandlingWith, which is has also been renamed to bindAndHandle (for consistency with StreamTcp) use FlowMaterializer instead of ActorFlowMaterializer arguments where possible add BidirectionalFlow, which will be used by the upcoming TLS stage (not included yet, the current development state is simply too buggy) add variants of conditional directive taking only ETag or only Last-Modified value some more bug fixes, see full list of closed issues <https://github.com/akka/akka/issues?q=milestone:streams-1.0-M5> When upgrading from milestone 4 you will notice that we have removed the overloaded variants of Source and Sink factory methods that take a name argument—the syntactic cost (the added parentheses) and complexity was not worth the gain and therefore we replaced this feature by using withAttributes on the returned graphs. Unfortunately this requires some mechanical adaptations of your source code along these lines: 1.0-M4: val sink: Sink[Int, Future[Int]] = Sink.head[Int]() val firstPair: Future[(Int, Int)] = pairs.runWith(Sink.head()) 1.0-M5: val sink: Sink[Int, Future[Int]] = Sink.head[Int] val firstPair: Future[(Int, Int)] = pairs.runWith(Sink.head) The activator templates have also been updated: Akka Streams with Java8! <http://typesafe.com/activator/template/akka-stream-java8> Akka Streams with Scala! <http://typesafe.com/activator/template/akka-stream-scala> We’d like to thank all of you for testing and for providing feedback on our progress. In particular we thank Daniel Wegener, Wojciech Jurczyk, and Richard Bradley for their patches. Happy hakking!
