v1.4.0

API Documentation

This patch adds Future::timeout, providing a method counterpart to the
future::timeout free function. And includes several bug fixes around missing
APIs. Notably we're not shipping our new executor yet, first announced on our
blog.

Examples

use async_std::prelude::*;
use async_std::future;
use std::time::Duration;

let fut = future::pending::<()>(); // This future will never resolve.
let res = fut.timeout(Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
assert!(res.is_err()); // The future timed out, returning an err.

Added

• Added Future::timeout as "unstable" (#600)

• Fixed a doc test and enabled it on CI (#597)
• Fixed a rendering issue with the stream submodule documentation (#621)
• Write::write_fmt's future is now correctly marked as #[must_use] (#628)
• Fixed the missing io::Bytes export (#633)
• Fixed the missing io::Chain export (#633)
• Fixed the missing io::Take export (#633)
