Is the async functionality already merged? (alien.top)

Im looking at the org babel WORG webpage on running shell code and it says there that we can run shell command asynchronously. However, when I try some of the examples in my machine, the async is completely ignored. Am I supposed to install something else?

You need ob-async but it's broken on later org versions. There are some unmerged pull requests in the GitHub that can fix that.

Does this require building org-mode itself?, or can it be fixed in a simpler way?… I connect to remote systems so asynchronous is a must

Built-in async support for shell source blocks is not yet released. It is only available in the development version of Org mode.
