The art of state

This is a beta version of RxSwift 2.0.

Updated

• Improves KVO mechanism.
  • Type of observed object is now first argument view.rx_observe(CGRect.self, "frame")
  • Support for observing ObjC bridged enums and RawRepresentable protocol
  • Support for easier extending of KVO using KVORepresentable protocol
  • Deprecates KVO extensions that don't accept type as first argument in favor of ones that do.
• Adds flatMapLatest (also added to Driver unit).
• Adds flatMapFirst operator (also added to Driver unit).
• Adds retryWhen operator.
• Adds window operator.
• Adds single operator.
• Adds single (blocking version) operator.
• Adds rx_primaryAction on UIButton for tvOS.
• Transforms error types in RxSwift/RxCocoa projects from NSErrors to Swift enum types.
  • RxError
  • RxCocoaError
  • RxCocoaURLError
  • ...
• NSURLSession extensions now return Observable<(NSData!, NSHTTPURLResponse)> instead of Observable<(NSData!, NSURLResponse!)>.
• Optimizes consecutive map operators. For example map(validate1).map(validate2).map(parse) is now internally optimized to one map operator.
• Adds overloads for just, sequenceOf, toObservable that accept scheduler.
• Deprecates asObservable extension of SequenceType in favor of toObservable.
• Adds toObservable extension to Array.
• Improves table view animated data source example.
• Polishing of RxDataSourceStarterKit
  • differentiateForSectionedView operator
