v0.11.0 Release Notes

New Features

Handler Traits for Unified Actor Management

This release introduces Handler Traits, a powerful abstraction that allows managing different Actor types handling the same message in a unified collection.

New Traits:

Trait	Description
TellHandler<M>	Fire-and-forget messaging with strong reference
AskHandler<M, R>	Request-response messaging with strong reference
WeakTellHandler<M>	Fire-and-forget with weak reference (doesn't keep actor alive)
WeakAskHandler<M, R>	Request-response with weak reference

Example Usage:

use rsactor::{TellHandler, AskHandler};

// Store different Actor types in a single collection
let handlers: Vec<Box<dyn TellHandler<PingMsg>>> = vec![
    (&counter_actor).into(),
    (&logger_actor).into(),
];

// Send messages to all handlers uniformly
for handler in &handlers {
    handler.tell(PingMsg { timestamp: 12345 }).await?;
}

Key Benefits:

• Polymorphic actor handling without manual trait implementation
• Support for both strong and weak references
• Full Clone and Debug support for Box<dyn Handler>
• Easy conversion via From trait implementations

See handler_traits_design.md and handler_demo.rs for detailed documentation and examples.
