2.1.8

Maven

Warning! Behavior change regarding handling illegal calls with null in Processors and Subjects.

The Reactive Streams specification mandates that calling onNext and onError with null should
result in an immediate NullPointerException thrown from these methods. Unfortunately, this requirement was overlooked (it resulted in calls to onError with NullPointerException which meant the Processor/Subject variants entered their terminal state).

If, for some reason, the original behavior is required, one has to call onError with a NullPointerException explicitly:

PublishSubject<Integer> ps = PublishSubject.create();

TestObserver<Integer> to = ps.test();

// ps.onNext(null); // doesn't work anymore

ps.onError(new NullPointerException());

to.assertFailure(NullPointerException.class);

2.1.5-RC4

This is a pre-release of 2.1.5 to make sure the new nebula-plugin-free release process works.

If the release fails at the bintray upload due to configuration mistakes, we'll adjust it an release RC4 and on. If it succeeds, that's fine as well because the final 2.1.5 will come in a couple of days.

RC1 failed due to wrong config: repo and name were not RxJava/RxJava.
RC2 failed due to wrong POM generated for maven.
RC3 still generated the wrong POM.
