Thanks to everyone who contributed to QCoro 0.3.0!

0.2.0 (2021-09-08)

Library modularity

The code has been reorganized into three modules (and thus three standalone libraries): QCoroCore, QCoroDBus and QCoroNetwork. QCoroCore contains the elementary QCoro tools (QCoro::Task, qCoro() wrapper etc.) and coroutine support for some QtCore types. The QCoroDBus module contains coroutine support for types from the QtDBus module and equally the QCoroNetwork module contains coroutine support for types from the QtNetwork module. The latter two modules are also optional, the library can be built without them. It also means that an application that only uses let's say QtNetwork and has no DBus dependency will no longer get QtDBus pulled in through QCoro, as long as it only links against libQCoroCore and libQCoroNetwork. The reorganization will also allow for future support of additional Qt modules.

Headers clean up

The include headers in QCoro we a bit of a mess and in 0.2.0 they all got a unified form. All public header files now start with qcoro (e.g. qcorotimer.h, qcoronetworkreply.h etc.), and QCoro also provides CamelCase headers now. Thus users should simply do #include <QCoroTimer> if they want coroutine support for QTimer.

The reorganization of headers makes QCoro 0.2.0 incompatible with previous versions and any users of QCoro will have to update their #include statements. I'm sorry about this extra hassle, but with this brings much needed sanity into the header organization and naming scheme.

Docs update

The documentation has been updated to reflect the reorganization as well as some internal changes. It should be easier to understand now and hopefully will make it easier for users to start with QCoro now.

Internal API cleanup and code de-duplication

Historically, certain types types which can be directly co_awaited with QCoro, for instance QTimer has their coroutine support implemented differently than types that have multiple asynchronous operations and thus have a coroutine-friendly wrapper classes (like QIODevice and it's QCoroIODevice wrapper). In 0.2.0 I have unified the code so that even the coroutine support for simple types like QTimer are implemented through wrapper classes (so there's QCoroTimer now)
