I try to  understand also the async feature in the ver 4. Can you give me with very few words the meaning
The async in ver.4  is for server-side ?
Right now, all my client-side service calls, are async,  using a pair  of functions, as below.  the async for ver .4 is for client ?
my client code
   public static async void SaveIncident(IncidentRequest request, AsyncReturnDelegate onSavedIncident)
        {
            Incident incident = await  SaveIncidentAsync(request);
            onSavedIncident(incident);
        }
         static Task<Incident>  SaveIncidentAsync(IncidentRequest request)
        {
        return Task.Run<Incident>(() => ServiceSaveIncident(request));
        }

        static  Incident ServiceSaveIncident(IncidentRequest request)
        {            
             IncidentResponse resp = client.ServicePost<IncidentResponse>(request);  //wrapper to actual call             
                    return resp.incident;            
      }

Note: server-side async is opaque and has nothing to do with client-side async. It just enables your service to now return a task, see these examples: http://bit.ly/1cOJ3hR

Stefan Tsalapatis:

I understood, thanks.   Server side is very important, not-blocking ( it will be nice if we had some metrics).  Also in client, ( I  had not used before the asyncClient)   my code is simplified a lot, only one function.
       public static async void SaveIncident(IncidentRequest request, AsyncReturnDelegate onSavedIncident)
        {
            IncidentResponse resp = await asyncClient.PostAsync<IncidentResponse>(request);
            onSavedIncident(resp.incident);
        }
