v0.6.0

Changes

• On JVM, libraries now include Java Platform Module System (JPMS) modules #406
• Made Segment's size and capacity public #409
• Improved performance of extension functions reading and writing using little-endian byte order #414
• Minor documentation improvements

Thanks to @whyoleg and @zoobestik for contributions!

v0.5.4

Changes

• Extended Unsafe API with a function allowing to iterate over all Buffer's segments #383
• Implemented ByteString conversion to/from NSData on Apple platforms #384
• Implemented extensions to read/write ByteString from to/from ByteBuffer, as well as representing
  ByteString as a read-only ByteBuffer on JVM #387
• Implemented ByteString factory accepting unsigned bytes #390
• Reimplemented various functions using Unsafe API #337
• Minor documentation improvements

Thanks to @qwwdfsad, @JakeWharton, and @joffrey-bion for contributions!

v0.5.3

Changes

• Updated JS braces library to 3.0.3
• More unnecessary backing fields were eliminated #374

Thanks to @JakeWharton for the contribution!

v0.5.2

Features

• Unsafe API method signatures were updated to return number of written/read bytes #360

  Note that it's a breaking change as return type is a part of method signature.
  However, updated methods are all inline, so in general,
  projects depending on libraries that were compiled against the previous version
  should not experience binary incompatibility issues after adding a dependency on a never kotlinx-io version.

• Added call-in-place contracts to Unsafe API methods #361

• Updated Gradle and some dependencies #353

• Improved build scripts #371

• Removed the Buffer.buffer backing field #366

Thanks to @JakeWharton and @Goooler for their contributions!

v0.5.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug in segment pool implementation affecting a second level pool uses.

v0.5.0

Features

• Provided an API allowing direct access to Buffer and Segment internals #135, #166

  The API is unsafe, delisted from public docs and requires explicit opt-in. It's recommended to avoid this API unless you're working on integration with other APIs (like, java.nio or io_uring, for example).

• Improved the way segment pooling is working on JVM #352

  Now sharing a segment won't make an original segment and all its copies recyclable. Instead, the last remaining copy will be placed back into the pool when recycled.
  Segments are no longer allocated or lost when taking or recycling a segment from a pool under a high contention due to concurrent requests.
  The size of the segment pool on the JVM could now be statically configured by setting a system property kotlinx.io.pool.size.bytes.

Thanks to @bjhham, @e5l, @lppedd, @qwwdfsad, @shanshin, and @whyoleg for their participation in this release!

v0.4.0

Features

Updated Kotlin version to 2.0.

v0.3.5

Features

• Provided an extension function to write CharSequences (Sink.writeString overloaded for CharSequence) #318
• Various minor improvements in build scripts and docs

Shout out to @whyoleg for improving build scripts!

v0.3.4

Features

• Kotlin updated to 1.9.24 #315
• Supported linuxArm32Hfp target #303
• Enabled KLib ABI validation
• Provided extension functions to read (Source.readCodePointValue) and write (Sink.writeCodePointValue) Unicode code point values #307
• Provided function to list directories (FileSystem.list) #222

v0.3.3

The release replaces a required reasoning API uses with alternatives that do not require any app’s privacy manifest updates for iOS/iPadOS/tvOS/watchOS apps.

Features

• Reimplemented file metadata gathering without required reasoning APIs on Apple targets #297
• Updated Kover version #293

Bugfixes

• Muted Webpack warnings about node-js modules on JS target #285
