Jeremy, thanks! I tried overriding Model's `parse` in 1.0 but wasn't satisfied because it seems to be called in some cases but not the others. (I can't recall a specific example right n…

Where can I read more about changes related to nested model parsing and submodels? This is something I had to implement just a week ago, and I resorted to overriding `set`. I wonder if they made it ea…

Since you're asking... Had I updated to iOS 7, every single animation on my phone would have become jaggy, and the camera would just take forever (instead of current 15 seconds) to load. Oh wait,…

If I did that, the code would always return at the first GetSession call. Instead, it unwraps exceptions, and while it propagates cancelations, it ignores other exceptions and tries other providers in…

In some scenarios it simplifies the code greatly. It may or may not be applicable to your app. Just a few weeks ago I was able to convert a nightmare-ish recursive asynchronous method to a `foreach` l…

I think your parent is arguing that, despite TaskCompletionSource exists, some people still don't use it much and resort to callbacks (presumably because they have not learned about it). As i…
