From this release forward Dispatch uses the standard Future
interface that was introduced in Scala 2.10 and backported for Scala
2.9.3. This required some breaking changes in the API, but the
migration is straightforward.
The shortest import is now this:
import dispatch._, Defaults._
The Defaults object includes an implicit ExecutionContext that is
required to do almost anything, and a Timer that is required for
retry operations. If you prefer to use your own context or timer, do
not import these.
Since the execution context is now determined at the call site, the
relevant parameters from the Http case class have been dropped.
The type dispatch.Promise is now a deprecated alias to
scala.concurrent.Future. The type dispatch.Future is another alias
to scala.concurrent.Future. (This allows our wildcard import to
continue to import all the basic required types.)
The beloved either, option, and apply methods of
dispatch.Promise are provided through EnrichedFuture. They work
the same as before.
The retry functionality has been significantly, necessarily altered. It is still undocumented so you probably aren't using it anyway, but it has tests now!
The weather service example that is used throughout the documentation has been updated to use the Weather Underground API, instead of the Google weather API that went offline some time ago.
