Please add new entries at the top.

7.1.1

  1. Bumped deployment target to iOS 11, tvOS 11, watchOS 4, macOS 10.13, per Xcode 14 warnings (#865, kudos to @lickel)
  2. Explicitly declare APPLICATION_EXTENSION_API_ONLY for CocoaPods (#866, kudos to @lickel)

7.1.0

  1. Add CI Release jobs on tag push (#862, kudos to @p4checo)
  2. Fix some issues related to locking, bumped min OS versions to iOS 10, macOS 10.12, tvOS 10, watchOS 3 (#859, kudos to @mluisbrown)
  3. Add async helpers to Schedulers (#857, kudos to @p4checo)
  4. Add primary associated types to SignalProducerConvertible & SignalProducerProtocol (#855, kudos to @braker1nine)
  5. Refactor Github Actions to cover more swift versions (#858, kudos to @braker1nine)
  6. Use OSAllocatedUnfairLock instead of os_unfair_lock on supported Apple platforms (#856, kudos to @mluisbrown)

7.0.0

  1. The UnidirectionalBinding operator <~ returns non optional values. (#834, kudos to @NicholasTD07)

  2. Fixed issue where SingalProducer.try(upTo:interval:count:) shares state between invocation of start on the same producer. (#829, kudos to @sebastiangrail)

  3. Signal.Event is now marked as frozen enum. (#841, kudos to @NachoSoto)

6.7.0

6.7.0-rc1

  1. New operator SignalProducer.Type.interval(_:interval:on:) for emitting elements from a given sequence regularly. (#810, kudos to @mluisbrown)

  2. Signal offers two special variants for advanced users: unserialized and reentrant-unserialized. (#797)

    The input observer of these variants assume that mutual exclusion has been enforced by its callers.

    You can create these variants through four Signal static methods: unserialized(_:), unserializedPipe(_:), reentrantUnserialized(_:) and reentrantUnserializedPipe(_:). These would be adopted by ReactiveCocoa UIKit bindings to improve interoperability with Loop, to tackle some legitimate recursive delivery scenarios (e.g. around first responder management), and also to reduce fine-grained locking in ReactiveCocoa.

    Note that the default behavior of Signal has not been changed — event serialization remains the default behavior.

  3. SignalProducer offers an unserialized variant via SignalProducer.unserialized(_:). (#797)

  4. TestScheduler can now advanced its clock by TimeInterval. (#828, kudos to @carsten-wenderdel)

  5. Signal and Properties now use fewer locks, which should translate into minor performance improvements. (#797)

  6. Fixed spelling error in Lifetime.Token class documentation. (#835, kudos to @ansonj)

  7. As a continued refactoring effort since ReactiveSwift 6.6.0, all unary Signal and SignalProducer operators have been migrated to a new internal representation.

    When debugging your application, the call stacks involving ReactiveSwift may now look cleaner, without the clutter of compiler-generated reabstraction thunks. See #799 for an example.

  8. New operator SignalProducer.take(until:) that forwards any values until shouldContinue returns false. Equivalent to take(while:), except it also forwards the last value that failed the check. (#839, kudos to @nachosoto)

6.6.1

  1. Updated Carthage xcconfig dependency to 1.1 for proper building arm64 macOS variants. (#826, kudos to @MikeChugunov)

  2. Fixed issue with SignalProducer.Type.interval() making Swift 5.3 a requirement. (#823 kudos to @mluisbrown)

6.6.0

  1. Added the SignalProducer.Type.interval() operator for emitting values on a regular schedule. (#810, kudos to @mluisbrown)

  2. When debugging your application, the call stacks involving ReactiveSwift may start to look cleaner and less cryptic. This is an on-going refactoring effort to improve the developer experience. See #799 for an example.

  3. Bumped deployment target to iOS 9.0, per Xcode 12 warnings. (#818, kudos to @harleyjcooper)

  4. Fixed a few deprecation warning when the project is being built. (#819, kudos to @apps4everyone)

6.5.0

  1. Add ExpressibleByNilLiteral constraint to OptionalProtocol (#805, kudos to @nkristek)

  2. Fixed a SignalProducer.lift issue which may leak intermediate signals. (#808)

  3. Add variadic sugar for boolean static methods such as Property.any(boolProperty1, boolProperty2, boolProperty3) (#801, kudos to @fortmarek)

6.4.0

  1. Bump min. deployment target to iOS 9 when using swift packages to silence Xcode 12 warnings. Update Quick & Nibmle to the latest version when using swift packages.

  2. Fix a debug assertion in Lock.try() that could be raised in earlier OS versions (< iOS 10.0, < macOS 10.12). (#747, #788)

    Specifically, ReactiveSwift now recognizes EDEADLK as expected error code from pthread_mutex_trylock alongside 0, EBUSY and EAGAIN.

6.3.0

  1. Property and MutableProperty can now be used as property wrapper. Note that they remain a reference type container, so it may not be appropriate to use them in types requiring value semantics. (#781)

    class ViewModel {
  @MutableProperty var count: Int = 0

  func subscribe() {
    self.$count.producer.startWithValues {
      print("`count` has changed to \(count)")
    }
  }

  func increment() {
    print("count prior to increment: \(count)")
    self.$count.modify { $0 += 1 }
  }
}

  2. When combineLatest or zip over a sequence of SignalProducers or Propertys, you can now specify an optional emptySentinel parameter, which would be used when the sequence is empty.

    This becomes relevant, when the sequence of producers is calculated from some other Signal and the signal resulting from the joined producers is observed. If no value is sent when the sequence is empty, the observer gets terminated silently, and, e.g., the UI would not be updated.

(#774, kudos to @rocketnik)

6.2.1

  1. Improved performance of joining signals by a factor of around 5. This enables joining of 1000 and more signals in a reasonable amount of time.
  2. Fixed SignalProducer.debounce operator that, when started more than once, would not deliver values on producers started after the first time. (#772, kudos to @gpambrozio)
  3. FlattenStrategy.throttle is introduced. (#713, kudos to @inamiy)
  4. Updated README.md to reflect Swift 5.1 compatibility and point snippets to 6.1.0 (#763, kudos to @Marcocanc)
  5. Update travis to Xcode 11.1 and Swift 5.1 (#764, kudos @petrpavlik)
  6. [SwiftPM] Add platforms (#761, kudos to @ikesyo)
  7. Renamed filterMap to compactMap and deprecated filterMap (#746, kudos to @Marcocanc)

6.1.0

  1. add possibility to use all and any operators with array of arguments (#735, kudos to @olejnjak) 
    let property = Property.any([boolProperty1, boolProperty2, boolProperty3])
  2. Fixed Result extensions ambiguity (#733, kudos to @nekrich)
  3. Add <~ binding operator to Signal.Observer (#635, kudos to @Marcocanc)

6.0.0

  1. Dropped support for Swift 4.2 (Xcode 9)
  2. Removed dependency on https://github.com/antitypical/Result (#702, kudos to @NachoSoto and @mdiep)

Upgrade to 6.0.0

5.0.1

  1. Fix warnings in Xcode 10.2

5.0.0

  1. Support Swift 5.0 (Xcode 10.2) (#711, kudos to @ikesyo)
  2. Dropped support for Swift 4.1 (Xcode 9)
  3. Migrated from hashValue to hash(into:), fixing deprecation warning in Swift 5 (#707, kudos to @ChristopherRogers)
  4. New operator materializeResults and dematerializeResults (#679, kudos to @ra1028)
  5. New convenience initializer for Action that takes a ValidatingProperty as its state (#637, kudos to @Marcocanc)
  6. Fix legacy date implementation. (#683, kudos to @shoheiyokoyama)
  7. New operator scanMap. (#695, kudos to @inamiy)

4.0.0

  1. When unfair locks from libplatform are unavailable, ReactiveSwift now fallbacks to error checking Pthread mutexes instead of the default. Mitigations regarding issues with pthread_mutex_trylock have also been applied. (#654, kudos to @andersio)

  2. Fix some documentation errors about Carthage usage (#655)

  3. [CocoaPods] CocoaPods 1.4.0 is the minimum required version. (#651, kudos to @ikesyo)

  4. <~ bindings now works with optional left-hand-side operands. (#642, kudos to @andersio and @Ankit-Aggarwal)

    let nilTarget: BindingTarget<Int>? = nil

// This is now a valid binding. Previously required manual
// unwrapping in ReactiveSwift 3.x.
nilTarget <~ notifications.map { $0.count }

4.0.0-rc.2

  1. Support Swift 4.2 (Xcode 10) (#644, kudos to @ikesyo)

4.0.0-rc.1

  1. Lifetime may now be manually ended using Lifetime.Token.dispose(), in addition to the existing when-token-deinitializes semantic. (#641, kudos to @andersio)
  2. For Swift 4.1 and above, BindingSource conformances are required to have Error parameterized as exactly NoError. As a result, Signal and SignalProducer are now conditionally BindingSource. (#590, kudos to @NachoSoto and @andersio)
  3. For Swift 4.1 and above, Signal.Event and ActionError are now conditionally Equatable. (#590, kudos to @NachoSoto and @andersio)
  4. New method collect(every:on:skipEmpty:discardWhenCompleted:) which delivers all values that occurred during a time interval (#619, kudos to @Qata)
  5. debounce now offers an opt-in behaviour to preserve the pending value when the signal or producer completes. You may enable it by specifying discardWhenCompleted as false (#287, kudos to @Qata)
  6. Result now interoperates with SignalProducer n-ary operators as a constant producer (#606, kudos to @Qata)
  7. New property operator: filter (#586, kudos to @iv-mexx)
  8. New operator merge(with:) (#600, kudos to @ra1028)
  9. New operator map(value:) (#601, kudos to @ra1028)
  10. SignalProducer.merge(with:), SignalProducer.concat, SignalProducer.prefix, SignalProducer.then, SignalProducer.and, SignalProducer.or, SignalProducer.zip(with:), SignalProducer.sample(with:), SignalProducer.sample(on:), SignalProducer.take(until:), SignalProducer.take(untilReplacement:), SignalProducer.skip(until:), SignalProducer.flatMap, SignalProducer.flatMapError, SignalProducer.combineLatest(with:), Signal.flatMap, Signal.flatMapError, Signal.withLatest(from:) and Property.init(initial:then:) now accept SignalProducerConvertible conforming types (#610, #611, kudos to @1028)
  11. Bag can be created with the initial elements now (#609, kudos to @ra1028)
  12. Non-class types now can be conforms to ReactiveExtensionProvider (#636, kudos to @ra1028)

3.1.0

  1. Fixed schedule(after:interval:leeway:) being cancelled when the returned Disposable is not retained. (#584, kudos to @jjoelson)

3.1.0-rc.1

  1. Fixed a scenario of downstream interruptions being dropped. (#577, kudos to @andersio)

    Manual interruption of time shifted producers, including delay, observe(on:), throttle, debounce and lazyMap, should discard outstanding events at best effort ASAP.

    But in ReactiveSwift 2.0 to 3.0, the manual interruption is ignored if the upstream producer has terminated. For example:

    // Completed upstream + `delay`.
SignalProducer.empty
    .delay(10.0, on: QueueScheduler.main)
    .startWithCompleted { print("Value should have been discarded!") }
    .dispose()

// Console(t+10): Value should have been discarded!

    The expected behavior has now been restored.

    Please note that, since ReactiveSwift 2.0, while the interruption is handled immediately, the interrupted event delivery is not synchronous — it generally respects the closest asynchronous operator applied, and delivers on that scheduler.

  2. SignalProducer.concat now has an overload that accepts an error. (#564, kudos to @nmccann)

  3. Fix some documentation errors (#560, kudos to @ikesyo)

3.0.0

  1. Code Coverage is reenabled. (#553) For Carthage users, version 0.26.0 and later is required for building App Store compatible binaries.

3.0.0-rc.1

  1. Fixed integer overflow for DispatchTimeInterval in FoundationExtensions.swift (#506)

3.0.0-alpha.1

  1. Signal now uses Lifetime for resource management. (#404, kudos to @andersio)

    The Signal initialzer now accepts a generator closure that is passed with the input Observer and the Lifetime as its arguments. The original variant accepting a single-argument generator closure is now obselete. This is a source breaking change.

    // New: Add `Disposable`s to the `Lifetime`.
let candies = Signal<U, E> { (observer: Signal<U, E>.Observer, lifetime: Lifetime) in
   lifetime += trickOrTreat.observe(observer)
}

// Obsolete: Returning a `Disposable`.
let candies = Signal { (observer: Signal<U, E>.Observer) -> Disposable? in
   return trickOrTreat.observe(observer)
}

  2. SignalProducer.startWithSignal now returns the value of the setup closure. (#533, kudos to @Burgestrand)

2.1.0-alpha.2

  1. Disabled code coverage data to allow app submissions with Xcode 9.0 (see Carthage/Carthage#2056, kudos to @NachoSoto)

2.1.0-alpha.1

  1. Signal.Observer.action has been deprecated. Use Signal.Observer.send instead. (#515)

  2. Workaround an unexpected EGAGIN error being returned by pthread in 32-bit ARM debug builds. (#508)

  3. The SignalProducer internals have undergone a significant refactoring, which bootstraps the effort to reduce the overhead of constant producers and producer compositions. (#487, kudos to @andersio)

2.0.1

  1. Addressed the exceptionally high build time. (#495)

  2. New method retry(upTo:interval:on:). This delays retrying on failure by interval until hitting the upTo limitation.

2.0.0-rc.3

  1. Lifetime.+= which ties a Disposable to a Lifetime, is now part of the public API and is no longer deprecated.

  2. Feedbacks from isEnabled to the state of the same Action no longer deadlocks if it does not constitute an infinite feedback loop. (#481, kudos to @andersio)

    Note that isExecuting already supports Action state feedback, and legitimate feedback loops would still deadlock.

2.0.0-rc.2

  1. Fixed a deadlock upon disposal when combining operators, i.e. zip and combineLatest, are used. (#471, kudos to @stevebrambilla for catching the bug)

2.0.0-rc.1

  1. If the input observer of a Signal deinitializes while the Signal has not yet terminated, an interrupted event would now be automatically sent. (#463, kudos to @andersio)

  2. ValidationResult and ValidatorOutput have been renamed to ValidatingProperty.Result and ValidatingProperty.Decision, respectively. (#443)

  3. Mitigated a race condition related to ARC in the Signal internal. (#456, kudos to @andersio)

  4. Added new convenience initialisers to Action that make creating actions with state input properties easier. When creating an Action that is conditionally enabled based on an optional property, use the renamed Action.init(unwrapping:execute:) initialisers. (#455, kudos to @sharplet)

2.0.0-alpha.3

  1. combinePrevious for Signal and SignalProducer no longer requires an initial value. The first tuple would be emitted as soon as the second value is received by the operator if no initial value is given. (#445, kudos to @andersio)

  2. Fixed an impedance mismatch in the Signal internals that caused heap corruptions. (#449, kudos to @gparker42)

  3. In Swift 3.2 or later, you may create BindingTarget for a key path of a specific object. (#440, kudos to @andersio)

2.0.0-alpha.2

  1. In Swift 3.2 or later, you can use map() with the new Smart Key Paths. (#435, kudos to @sharplet)

  2. When composing Signal and SignalProducer of inhabitable types, e.g. Never or NoError, ReactiveSwift now warns about operators that are illogical to use, and traps at runtime when such operators attempt to instantiate an instance. (#429, kudos to @andersio)

  3. N-ary SignalProducer operators are now generic and accept any type that can be expressed as SignalProducer. (#410, kudos to @andersio) Types may conform to SignalProducerConvertible to be an eligible operand.

  4. The performance of SignalProducer has been improved significantly. (#140, kudos to @andersio)

    All lifted SignalProducer operators no longer yield an extra Signal. As a result, the calling overhead of event delivery is generally reduced proportionally to the level of chaining of lifted operators.

  5. interrupted now respects observe(on:). (#140)

    When a produced Signal is interrupted, if observe(on:) is the last applied operator, interrupted would now be delivered on the Scheduler passed to observe(on:) just like other events.

  6. Feedbacks from isExecuting to the state of the same Action, including all enabledIf convenience initializers, no longer deadlocks. (#400, kudos to @andersio)

  7. MutableProperty now enforces exclusivity of access. (#419, kudos to @andersio)

    In other words, nested modification in MutableProperty.modify is now prohibited. Generally speaking, it should have extremely limited impact as in most cases the MutableProperty would have been deadlocked already.

  8. promoteError can now infer the new error type from the context. (#413, kudos to @andersio)

2.0.0-alpha.1

This is the first alpha release of ReactiveSwift 2.0. It requires Swift 3.1 (Xcode 8.3).

Changes

Modified Signal lifetime semantics (#355)

The Signal lifetime semantics is modified to improve interoperability with memory debugging tools. ReactiveSwift 2.0 adopted a new Signal internal which does not exploit deliberate retain cycles that consequentially confuse memory debugging tools.

A Signal is now automatically and silently disposed of, when:

  1. the Signal is not retained and has no active observer; or
  2. (New) both the Signal and its input observer are not retained.

It is expected that memory debugging tools would no longer report irrelevant negative leaks that were once caused by the ReactiveSwift internals.

SignalProducer resource management (#334)

SignalProducer now uses Lifetime for resource management. You may observe the Lifetime for the disposal of the produced Signal.

let producer = SignalProducer<Int, NoError> { observer, lifetime in
    if let disposable = numbers.observe(observer) {
        lifetime.observeEnded(disposable.dispose)
    }
}

Two Disposable-accepting methods Lifetime.Type.+= and Lifetime.add are provided to aid migration, and are subject to removal in a future release.

Signal and SignalProducer

  1. All Signal and SignalProducer operators now belongs to the respective concrete types. (#304)

    Custom operators should extend the concrete types directly. SignalProtocol and SignalProducerProtocol should be used only for constraining associated types.

  2. combineLatest and zip are optimised to have a constant overhead regardless of arity, mitigating the possibility of stack overflow. (#345)

  3. flatMap(_:transform:) is renamed to flatMap(_:_:). (#339)

  4. promoteErrors(_:)is renamed to promoteError(_:). (#408)

  5. Event is renamed to Signal.Event. (#376)

  6. Observer is renamed to Signal.Observer. (#376)

Action

  1. Action(input:_:), Action(_:), Action(enabledIf:_:) and Action(state:enabledIf:_:) are renamed to Action(state:execute:), Action(execute:), Action(enabledIf:execute:) and Action(state:enabledIf:execute:) respectively. (#325)

Properties

  1. The memory overhead of property composition has been considerably reduced. (#340)

Bindings

  1. The BindingSource now requires only a producer representation of self. (#359)

  2. The <~ operator overloads are now provided by BindingTargetProvider. (#359)

Disposables

  1. SimpleDisposable and ActionDisposable has been folded into AnyDisposable. (#412)

  2. CompositeDisposable.DisposableHandle is replaced by Disposable?. (#363)

  3. The += operator overloads for CompositeDisposable are now hosted inside the concrete types. (#412)

Bag

  1. Improved the performance of Bag. (#354)

  2. RemovalToken is renamed to Bag.Token. (#354)

Schedulers

  1. Scheduler gains a class bound. (#333)

Lifetime

  1. Lifetime.ended now uses the inhabitable Never as its value type. (#392)

Atomic

  1. Signal and Atomic now use os_unfair_lock when it is available. (#342)

Additions

  1. FlattenStrategy.race is introduced. (#233, kudos to @inamiy)

    race flattens whichever inner signal that first sends an event, and ignores the rest.

  2. FlattenStrategy.concurrent is introduced. (#298, kudos to @andersio)

    concurrent starts and flattens inner signals according to the specified concurrency limit. If an inner signal is received after the limit is reached, it would be queued and drained later as the in-flight inner signals terminate.

  3. New operators: reduce(into:) and scan(into:). (#365, kudos to @ikesyo)

    These variants pass to the closure an inout reference to the accumulator, which helps the performance when a large value type is used, e.g. collection.

  4. Property(initial:then:) gains overloads that accept a producer or signal of the wrapped value type when the value type is an Optional. (#396)

Deprecations and Removals

  1. The requirement BindingSource.observe(_:during:) and the implementations have been removed.

  2. All Swift 2 (ReactiveCocoa 4) obsolete symbols have been removed.

  3. All deprecated methods and protocols in ReactiveSwift 1.1.x are no longer available.

ReactiveSwift is only possible due to the many hours of work that these individuals have volunteered. ❤️

1.1.3

Deprecation

  1. observe(_:during:) is now deprecated. It would be removed in ReactiveSwift 2.0. Use take(during:) and the relevant observation API of Signal, SignalProducer and Property instead. (#374)

1.1.2

Changes

  1. Fixed a rare occurrence of interrupted events being emitted by a Property. (#362)

1.1.1

Changes

  1. The properties Signal.negated, SignalProducer.negated and Property.negated are deprecated. Use its operator form negate() instead.

1.1

Additions

General

  1. New boolean operators: and, or and negated; available on Signal<Bool, E>, SignalProducer<Bool, E> and Property<Bool, E> types. (#160, kudos to @cristianames92)
  2. New operator filterMap. (#232, kudos to @RuiAAPeres)
  3. New operator lazyMap(on:_:). It coalesces value events when they are emitted at a rate faster than the rate the given scheduler can handle. The transform is applied on only the coalesced and the uncontended values. (#240, kudos to @liscio)
  4. New protocol BindingTargetProvider, which replaces BindingTargetProtocol. (#254, kudos to @andersio)

SignalProducer

  1. New initializer SignalProducer(_:), which takes a @escaping () -> Value closure. It is similar to SignalProducer(value:), but it lazily evaluates the value every time the producer is started. (#240, kudos to @liscio)

Lifetime

  1. New method Lifetime.observeEnded(self:). This is now the recommended way to explicitly observe the end of a Lifetime. Use Lifetime.ended only if composition is needed. (#229, kudos to @andersio)
  2. New factory method Lifetime.make(), which returns a tuple of Lifetime and Lifetime.Token. (#236, kudos to @sharplet)

Properties

  1. ValidatingProperty: A mutable property that validates mutations before committing them. (#182, kudos to @andersio).
  2. A new interactive UI playground: ReactiveSwift-UIExamples.playground. It demonstrates how ValidatingProperty can be used in an interactive form UI. (#182)

Changes

  1. Flattening a signal of Sequence no longer requires an explicit FlattenStrategy. (#199, kudos to @dmcrodrigues)
  2. BindingSourceProtocol has been renamed to BindingSource. (#254)
  3. SchedulerProtocol and DateSchedulerProtocol has been renamed to Scheduler and DateScheduler, respectively. (#257)
  4. take(during:) now handles ended Lifetime properly. (#229)

Deprecations

  1. AtomicProtocol has been deprecated. (#279)
  2. ActionProtocol has been deprecated. (#284)
  3. ObserverProtocol has been deprecated. (#262)
  4. BindingTargetProtocol has been deprecated. (#254)

1.0.1

Changes

  1. Fixed a couple of infinite feedback loops in Action. (#221)
  2. Fixed a race condition of Signal which might result in a deadlock when a signal is sent a terminal event as a result of an observer of it being released. (#267)

Kudos to @mdiep, @sharplet and @andersio who helped review the pull requests.

1.0

This is the first major release of ReactiveSwift, a multi-platform, pure-Swift functional reactive programming library spun off from ReactiveCocoa. As Swift continues to expand beyond Apple’s platforms, we hope that ReactiveSwift will see broader adoption. To learn more, please refer to ReactiveCocoa’s CHANGELOG.

Major changes since ReactiveCocoa 4 include:

Extensive use of Swift’s @available declaration has been used to ease migration from ReactiveCocoa 4. Xcode should have fix-its for almost all changes from older APIs.

Thank you to all of @ReactiveCocoa/ReactiveSwift and all our contributors, but especially to @andersio, @liscio, @mdiep, @nachosoto, and @sharplet. ReactiveSwift is only possible due to the many hours of work that these individuals have volunteered. ❤️
