All notable changes will be documented in this file.
This document is written according to the Keep a Changelog style.
Added Integral::Signed and Integral::Unsigned associated types, as some
arithmetic functions (abs_diff) perform a sign change.
The Pointer and NonNullPtr newtypes generalize over *const/*mut pointers
and allow users to be generic over write permissions. In addition, the
Reference type alias allows the same patterns to be written with references
(which do not need a newtype, as references have no inherent behavior and must
remain dereferenceäble).
The MSRV is now 1.65, as the pointer system requires the Generic Associated Types functionality.
The Is{Characteristic} traits were renamed to be adjectives, rather than
statements of being, to fit the Rust style.
In addition, a new baseline trait, Fundamental, generalizes over all the
Rust fundamentals, including bool and char, and provides conversions between
them. The remaining trait hierarchy, as implemented only on the numerics,
remains in place.
The MSRV is now 1.53, with introduction of the ::BITS constant in the standard
library.
IsNumber now requires a 'static lifetime. This is not a breaking change, as
all implementors are already 'static.
Add BITS in preparation for rust-lang/rust#76904.
Add leading_ones and trailing_ones, as these methods were introduced in Rust
1.46.
Library creation.
The IsNumber, IsInteger, IsFloat, IsSigned, and IsUnsigned traits
generalize over the primitive integer types, forwarding all of their stable
constants, methods, and trait implementations.
The width relation traits allow users to constrain the widths of numbers they require.
