Cargo Features

[dependencies]
acton-reactive = { version = "8.1.1", default-features = false, features = ["catch-handler-panics", "ipc", "ipc-messagepack"] }

default = catch-handler-panics

The catch-handler-panics feature is set by default whenever acton-reactive is added without default-features = false somewhere in the dependency tree.

catch-handler-panics default

Wraps every handler dispatch in catch_unwind so that a panicking handler cannot crash the actor task. Enabled by default for safety; disable for production workloads with well-tested handlers to eliminate the (small) overhead.
