 Release notes:
 
 Unreleased
+    - fixes: `Async.bind` signature corrected from `(Async<'T> -> Async<'U>)` to `('T -> Async<'U>)` to match standard monadic bind semantics (same as `Task.bind`); the previous signature made the function effectively equivalent to direct application
 
 1.1.1
     - perf: use while! in groupBy, countBy, partition, except, exceptOfSeq to eliminate redundant mutable 'go' variables and initial MoveNextAsync calls
