1.3 release preparations

[akarnokd]

Version 1.3.0 - May 5, 2017 (Maven)

Summary

Version 1.3.0 is the next minor release of the 1.x series of RxJava containing many formerly experimental API components promoted to standard. Most notably the Completable base reactive type is now standard as well.

Note that the experimental rx.Observable.fromEmitter() has been removed in favor for the now also standard Observable.create(Action1<Emitter<T>> emitter, Emitter.BackpressureMode backpressure)

The planned lifecycle of the 1.x line is as follows:

Date	Remark
June 1, 2017	Feature freeze, only bugfixes from this on.
September 1, 2017	Release 1.4.0 finalizing the remaining API components.
March 31, 2018	End of development.

The following components have been promoted to standard:

Classes, interfaces

• classes: AssemblyStackTraceException, RxJavaCompletableExecutionHook, RxJavaHooks, UnicastSubject, BlockingSingle, Completable, AssertableSubscriber, AsyncCompletableSubscriber, SafeCompletableSubscriber
• interfaces: Cancellable, Emitter, SingleEmitter, CompletableEmitter, CompletableSubscriber, BackpressureOverflow.Strategy

Operators

• Observable: create, unsafeCreate, to, zip(Observable[], FuncN), flatMapCompletable, flatMapSingle, groupby(Func1, Func1, Func1<Action1<K>, Map<K, Object>>), onTerminateDetach, rebatchRequests, subscribeOn(Scheduler, boolean), sorted, withLatestFrom, test, toCompletable, concatDelayError, mergeDelayError, switchOnNextDelayError, using(Func0, Func1, Action1, boolean), concatMapDelayError, delaySubscription(Observable), distinctUntilChanged(Func2), concatEager, concatMapEager, onBackpressureBuffer(long, Action0, BackpressureOverflow.Strategy), switchMapDelayError, toSortedList(int), toSortedList(Func2, int)
• Completable: fromEmitter, test
• Single: fromEmitter, merge, mergeDelayError, cache, to, doOnEach, doOnSuccess, test, onErrorResumeNext, toCompletable, doOnError, doOnSubscribe, delay, defer, doOnUnsubscribe, doAfterTerminate, flatMapCompletable, lift, toBlocking, using, delaySubscription(Observable)
• TestSubscriber: getCompletions, awaitValueCount, assertValuesAndClear
• SyncOnSubscriber: createSingleState, createStateful, createStateless

Other

• Schedulers.reset
• CompositeException(Throwable...) constructor
• Exceptions.throwOrReport (4 overloads)
• BlockingObservable.subscribe (6 overloads)
• RxJavaSchedulersHook: createComputationScheduler, createIoScheduler, createNewThreadScheduler
• internal: AssertableSubscriberObservable, FlatMapCompletable, FlatMapSingle, SchedulerWhen, BackpressureDrainManager, BlockingUtils.
• RxJavaPlugins: reset, getCompletableExecutionHook, registerCompletableExecutionHook
• RxJavaErrorHandler: handleOnNextValueRendering, render

In addition, the class AsyncOnsubscribe with its 7 factory methods and Observable.create(AsyncOnSubscribe<S, T>) have been promoted to beta.
