v0.17.6

Features

• CoroStart autostart parameter: Added autostart parameter to CoroStart.__init__()
  • When autostart=False, coroutine is not started automatically on construction
  • Allows creating CoroStart object before calling start() explicitly
  • Useful for advanced use cases requiring precise control over coroutine startup timing
  • Default behavior unchanged (autostart=True)

Tests

• asyncio.wait_for() compatibility: Added comprehensive tests for asyncio.wait_for() with eager execution
  • test_wait_for: Tests timeout and fast completion scenarios
  • test_wait_for_zero_timeout: Tests edge case of zero timeout
  • Validates that asyncio.wait_for() works correctly with eager task factory

Documentation

• asyncio.timeout() workarounds: Added asyncio.wait_for() as recommended workaround
  • Listed as the recommended alternative to asyncio.timeout() for eager execution
  • Works correctly without requiring additional await asyncio.sleep(0) calls
  • Updated workarounds section in README.md
