- Remove the

annotation from usages ofTimeSource
(#4046). Thanks, @hfhbd! - Introduce a workaround for an Android bug that caused an occasional
NullPointerException
when setting theStateFlow

sequence with owners is fixed (#3745). - Atomicfu version is updated to 0.21.0.

runTest
is restored (#3673) - Channels that don't use
onUndeliveredElement
now allocate less memory (#3646)

Channel
implementation with significant performance improvements across the API (#3621). - New
select
operator implementation: faster, more lightweight, and more robust (#3020). Mutex
andSemaphore
now share the same underlying data structure (#3020).Dispatchers.IO

implementations on K/N were wholly rewritten to support graceful growth under load (#3595).
kotlinx-coroutines-test
rework:- Add the
timeout
parameter torunTest
for the whole-test timeout, 10 seconds by default (#3270). This replaces the configuration of quiescence timeouts, which is now deprecated (#3603). - The
withTimeout
exception messages indicate if the timeout used the virtual time (#3588). TestCoroutineScheduler
,runTest
, andTestScope
API are promoted to stable (#3622).runTest
now also fails if there were uncaught exceptions in coroutines not inherited from the test coroutine (#1205).

CoroutineExceptionHandler
is no longer invoked in case of unprocessedfuture
failure (#3452). - Performance improvements and reduced thread-local pressure for the
