  • ๐Ÿš€ This release upgrades RxJava to 1.0.11 along with the following enhancements:

    • ๐Ÿ—„ Deprecate ExperimentalAPIs and use @Experimental/@Beta annotations directly. Unstable APIs wil be labeled Experimental/Beta in Scaladoc.
    • ๐Ÿ”„ Change error[T] to error: Observable[Nothing]
    • โž• Add TestSubscriber and its examples. Writing unit tests is much easier now. See TestSubscriberExample for examples.
    • โž• Add onBackpressureLatest and variants of flatMap and using.
    • โž• Add more experimental methods of Subject.
    • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Move examples to examples package: https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxScala/tree/0.x/examples/src/test/scala/examples
    • ๐Ÿ›  Some document fixes

    Migration from 0.24.1 to 0.25.0

    ๐Ÿšš Observable.error does not have a type parameter any more. Please remove the type parameter of Observable.error in your codes.
    Sometimes removing the type parameter may break your codes. E.g.,

    val x = Observable.error[Int](new RuntimeException("Oops")).toBlocking.single println(x + 1)
    

    ๐Ÿšš It won't be compiled if Int is removed. For these cases, you can add the explicit type to the variable and make the compiler happy, such as

    val x: Int = Observable.error(new RuntimeException("Oops")).toBlocking.single println(x + 1)
    

    ๐Ÿšš ExperimentalAPIs is deprecated. It's not a breaking change, but we plan to remove ExperimentalAPIs in 0.26.0. If you are using ExperimentalAPIs,
    ๐Ÿšš please recompile your codes and fix them as per the deprecated messages provided by the compiler as soon as possible. Once ExperimentalAPIs is removed,
    ๐Ÿ—„ you won't get the deprecated messages.
