v2.3.2

Version 2.3.2

Fixed

• Fixed a regression in v2.3.x where immediate-mode disconnections did not stop the listener from being dispatched.

Changed

• Improved performance when dispatching signals with no connections.

Full Changelog: v2.3.1...v2.3.2

v2.3.1

Version 2.3.1

Removed

• Removed the internal SIGNAL_BEHAVIOR flag that toggled task.spawn vs task.defer.
  • Flags are considered unstable and subject to change, this flag conflicted with internal dispatching and caused an infinite loop which froze the program when enabled.
  • The edge cases this was originally meant to address are now handled by deferred mutations, a much more comprehensive and performant mechanism — making the flag redundant.
  • This does not affect your ability to defer other operations (e.g. functions in listeners); only the internal spawn/defer toggle has been removed.

v2.3.0

Version 2.3.0

Changes since v2.2.0:

Changed

• Maintenance: Refactored Types module. Shouldn't change type behavior in public APIs, but may improve inference speed.

• Config: The default ERROR_INFO_MODE has been changed to "Full" (always prefer task.spawn) due to possible C-side issues with coroutine.resume.

  • You may opt back into a different mode if you require the additional performance and are aware of the risks.

• Performance: Greatly improved non-yielding fire performance by switching to a more efficient dispatching technique with minimized thread resumptions.

  • Signals with only one connection may be slightly slower, but benefits should be visible with two or more connections.
    
    
    

  From internal benchmarking:

  Connection Count	% Improvement from v2.2.0
  1	-18.8% (Slower)
  2	+49.2% (Faster)
  5	+258.6% (Faster)
  10	+535.1% (Faster)
  50	+1523.2% (Faster)

Fixed

• Fixed a missing type export for WrapConnection in the main module.

v2.2.0

Version 2.2.0

Changes since v2.1.7:

Fixed

• Fixed a class of iterator invalidation edge cases involving connections made after immediate-mode 'Now' disconnections on the active node.
  • Note: Those who've not used deferred mutation opt-outs were not impacted.
• Fixed an iterator invalidation edge case when DisconnectNow() was used on a tail connection before DisconnectAllNow().

Added

• Added new method Signal:GetConnections(), which returns an array of active connections on the signal, ordered from oldest to newest.
• Connection:DestroyNow() is now supported.

v2.1.7

Version 2.1.7

Fixed

• Changed the approach on how we handled the iterator invalidation bug where immediate-mode 'Now' connections made within Once connections were missed in the same dispatch cycle.
  • This fixes the behavior of FireNow in such cases.
• Fixed the Connection type not having the default signature in the exported public type.

v2.1.5

Version 2.1.5

Fixed

• Fixed an edge-case iterator invalidation bug involving immediate-mode 'Now' connections made within Once connections.

Full Changelog: v2.1.4...v2.1.5

v2.1.4

Version 2.1.4

Fixes

• Uninstantiated generic from Signal.new() is now handled properly. Previously, the signature was not being sanitized in all cases.

v2.1.3

Version 2.1.3

Hello again, this release is mostly just some codebase maintenance and cleaning up.

Added

• Minor documentation improvements.
  • Improved guidance on how to use wally-package-types during installation.
  • Added changelogs, available at the project root and on the documentation website.
  • Added Function coroutine.finally(thread, callback) to Future Considerations.

Changes

• Codebase cleanup and workflow improvements.
• I've changed my GitHub username, however I've taken care to prevent hijacking and to redirect all URLs.
  • Repository has been moved to https://github.com/averlyst/NamedSignal — GitHub redirects these automatically.
  • Documentation has been moved https://personal.averlyst.dev/NamedSignal — Old links will lead to a redirection page!
