- There was a race condition between creating a `streaming.Reader` with `NewReader` and calling its `Subscribe` where events could be consumed before there is any channel to send them to. - To fix this, the default behavior is now to only start the reader's `read` goroutine when `Subscribe` is called after it has inserted a channel that will receive events. - Alternatively, there is now an option `WithReaderStartExplicitly` which will only start the `read` goroutine when the new `Start` is called allowing multiple calls to `Subscribe` before receiving events.

Thank you, that makes sense. I wonder if we need the explicit start option - can we do without? |
I think we can leave it out, I'll remove it. |

Thank you! |
