Forwarding a callback from one thread/queue to another is simple, so this is easy enough to work around. Is it causing significant trouble for your code? I doubt Apple will fix this, since the old behavior was (IMO) bad — callbacks on the main thread can hurt app responsiveness. A good API will either allow the client to specify a thread/queue for callbacks, or just make callbacks on an unspecified thread and put the caller in charge of handling thread-safety. (The first approach is safer, the second faster.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
