IntelliJ IDEA

At the time of writing, the published jar files threadcso-1.2R5-2.12.3.jar and APP-1.0-2.12.3.jar are known to work with recent versions of the IntelliJ IDEA IDE with the Scala plugins installed. The jar files can be installed as libraries for use by a module by copying them to a specific folder (I use the folder name PUBLISH), then editing the library tab of the module to include them.

More detailed instructions are being prepared. (BS: 17/1/2018)

Release History

2017-12-18: ThreadCSO 1.2R5-2.12.3

August 2017: changes 1.1 => 1.2

• Renaming of very many internal classes and packages
• Basic channel implementations are more efficient, in some case much more so
• Alternation reliability improved
• Debugger registration of alternations is no longer needed
• Home-grown semaphores can specify which component they are part of: this makes interpreting a stack backtrace very much easier
• There is a flexible logging system that is compatible with the debugger
• Several small and (mostly) pointless example and test programs are provided in the source distribution

See the 2017 revision of the CSO paper for an overview of the channel components of CSO, and the documentation web for details.

2017-03-20: ThreadCSO 1.1R3

• Fixed race conditions in SyncChan.readBefore SyncChan.writeBefore

2016-10-12: ThreadCSO 1.1R2

No functional differences with 1.1R1. Source-code changed to meet Scala 2.12.1 requirements:

• Dropped dependencies on a couple of deprecated Java-to-Scala methods.
• Corrected an incorrect covariant-type annotation in the implicit class io.threadcso.component.ExtendCollection.

2016-10-12: ThreadCSO 1.1R1

This is a comprehensively re-engineered version of CSO with new implementations of channels, alternation, thread pooling, and a rationalization of the alternation construct notations. There is also a simple debugging interface.

See the 2016 revision of the CSO paper for an overview of the channel components of CSO, and the documentation web for details.
