v0.1010.1

v0.1010.1

Cleanups

• bilrost-types: parsing fractional seconds with more than 9 digits now
  simply truncates instead of erring.
• bilrost-types: parsing timestamps with "unknown local offset" timezones
  ("-00:00") is now tolerated, since the timezone information is discarded
  anyway.
• bilrost-types: improved fuzzing binaries for datetime parsing.

v0.1010.0

v0.1010.0

New features

• The optimization-controlling crate features have changed. There are now three
  features for each: from lowest to highest priority, "auto-feature",
  "prefer-no-feature", and "feature". This gives downstream crates the ability
  to turn a given optimization either on or off even if a library enables the
  "auto" feature. Only the "prefer-no-*" crate features are new.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash, wrong results for dates in early year 1900, and tolerance of
  some incorrect inputs in bilrost_types::Timestamp's conversion from strings.

v0.1009.0

v0.1009.0

New features

• Added encode_contiguous and encode_length_delimited_contiguous APIs to the
  Message trait which use the encode_fast prepend-encoding code path but
  measure the size first to always produce a contiguous buffer.
• Added into_vec(self) to ReverseBuffer complete with a non-copying
  optimization when the buffer is full and contiguous, such as when it is
  produced by Message::encode_contiguous.

v0.1008.0

v0.1008.0

Breaking changes

• The (unstable) internal encoding traits continue to evolve, now making checks
  for whether a value decoded in distinguished mode was empty optional at the
  value-decoder trait level. It is not always faster to check emptiness while
  decoding a value, and letting the distinguished value decoder implementation
  specify whether it takes responsibility for checking emptiness enables new
  type support like better nesting of never-empty types as described below.

Fixes

• Enumerations that do not have a defined zero value (and therefore do not have
  an "empty" state) can now be nested in fixed-size arrays as long as they are
  nested again, such as in an Option or Vec.

Cleanups

• Renamed the NewForOverwrite value trait to ForOverwrite.
• Restructured so that ForOverwrite is now a supertrait of EmptyState, and
  every existing implementation of EmptyState::empty defers to ForOverwrite.

v0.1007.0

v0.1007.0

Breaking changes

• Tuple typed structs (with anonymous fields accessed like value.0) now start
  their field numbering from zero by default, matching the names of the fields.
• Renamed the .reader() method on ReverseBuffer to .buf_reader() so it no
  longer conflicts with the bytes::Buf method.

New features

• Added support for encoding usize and isize pointer-sized integers. They
  will still have different supported maximums on platforms with different sized
  values, but this still has completely reasonable failure modes.
• Added support for deriving Message for enum types, which is implemented in
  terms of Oneof. The message implementations encode and decode exactly like a
  message which contains only that oneof; see the readme for more details.
• Changed the Value type in bilrost-types to be a message-via-oneof in this
  way, making it much nicer to use without changing its meaning.
• Added a .slices() method to ReverseBuffer and ReverseBufferReader which
  iterates its slices, useful for sending to write_vectored.

Fixes

• Fixed some incorrect tests, including coverage of third-party inline vecs and
  packed/unpacked fixed-size arrays.

Cleanups

• Cleaned up and re-added fuzzers! Fuzzers are available via both libfuzzer
  and afl; see FUZZING.md for usage details. These fuzzers
  would have caught the bug fixed in 0.1006.1 :)
• Deduplicated and somewhat improved codegen for oneofs. All four kinds of oneof
  decoder function are now generated by the same code, which is a huge
  improvement over four independent generators.
• Added tests for detailed errors attribution of decoding errors to the specific
  field that caused the problem.

v0.1006.0

v0.1006.0

Breaking changes

• The (unstable) internal encoding traits continue to evolve, now varying the
  implementation of TagMeasurer and moving the "allow empty" argument of
  distinguished value decoding into a const generic param.

New features

• Hash maps and hash sets can now have any kind of hasher, as long as the
  BuildHasher implements Default.
• Plain tuples can now be encoded as message fields! Tuples encode exactly the
  same as messages with field tags 0 through N-1, but the encoding of each field
  in the tuple can be specified. See the readme for more information.
• Fixed-size arrays ([T; N]) can now also be encoded as message fields. Arrays
  encode exactly the same as a collection like Vec would, except if each value
  in the array is empty the whole array is considered empty. When decoding an
  array, if a nonzero number of items is present and it is not the same number
  of items as the size of the array, the value and message being decoded are
  considered to be invalid.
• A couple third-party alternative types for Vec that have bounded size and
  inline-only storage (ArrayVec from the arrayvec and tinyvec crates) have
  been added.
• Third-party alternative types for Vec now also work with u8 items and the
  plainbytes encoding.

Fixes

• Added a Self: Default bound to the impl for Message when there are ignored
  fields. This means that it can be possible to have a message type with ignored
  fields and generically typed fields that don't implement Default; rather
  than failing to compile, it will now simply not implement Message.

Cleanups

• Consolidated (almost) all the standard impls of the EmptyState trait into
  the same module.

v0.1005.1

v0.1005.1

This release changes nothing, just fixes the link to the logo in the docs :)

v0.1005.0

v0.1005.0

Breaking changes

• The (unstable) internal encoding traits continue to evolve, this time to
  support prepend-encoding.

New features

• Added prepend-encoding: messages can be encoded to a prepend-only buffer, with
  .prepend(reverse_buf) or .encode_fast(). This encoding method writes
  messages in reverse, avoiding any need to "look ahead" in order to encode the
  correct length for data that is not yet written. This enables writing an
  arbitrarily nested message without visiting any field more than once, removing
  a quadratic hazard and general inefficiency in the encoding path.
• New reserved_tags attribute on messages to prevent tags from being used,
  even by accident.
• Both the new reserved_tags and the old oneof attributes can now specify
  inclusive ranges of tag numbers instead of only single tags. For now, in
  oneof this is limited to 100 tags per range because more than that is just
  too many.
• bilrost-derive, which contains the derive macros, is now no_std. This
  doesn't really change what it's capable of at all but it does make it easier
  to prove it doesn't accidentally preclude using std.

Fixes

• Explicitly instantiate and invoke the const-time assertions that check the
  tags match between a Oneof type and its inclusion in a Message. Before this
  the asserts probably would never run.

Cleanups

• The "opaque" message types are now always available, and no longer require a
  dependency or a crate feature. The "opaque" feature will be removed in a
  future version.
• The "derived message tests" have been moved from a binary with required
  features to an integration test. The "derive" feature and the "bilrost-derive"
  crate dependency are now always enabled in tests to support this.

v0.1004.0

v0.1004.0

Breaking changes

• The "encoder" attribute for message & oneof fields is now "encoding". This
  reads better and makes more sense, better to do it now.
• Conversion to & from u32 now uses the Enumeration trait rather than
  Into<u32> and TryFrom<u32>.
• The "opaque" types, bilrost::encoding::opaque::{OpaqueMessage, OpaqueValue}
  now use Cow under the hood instead of Vec, allowing them to hold borrowed
  data rather than only owned.

New features

• There is now an Enumeration trait for converting to & from u32 from
  derived enumerations.

Fixes

• Fixed some incorrect documentation.

Cleanups

• Large refactor that changes the underlying Encoder traits from
  impl Encoder<Value> for Encoding to impl Encoder<Encoding> for Value. This
  avoids issues with a new "non_local_definitions" lint which fires when trait
  implementations are derived for a function-local type.
