1.3.4

This patch release squashes deprecation warnings for the try! macro, in accordance with byteorder's minimum supported Rust version (currently at Rust 1.12.0).

1.3.3

This patch release adds ByteOrder::write_i8_into() as a simple, safe interface for ordinarily unsafe or tedious code.

1.3.2

This patch release adds ReadBytesExt::read_i8_into() as a simple, safe interface for ordinarily unsafe or tedious code.

1.3.1

This minor release performs mostly small internal changes. Going forward, these are not going to be incorporated into the changelog.

1.3.0

This new minor release now enables i128 support automatically on Rust compilers that support 128-bit integers. The i128 feature is now a no-op, but continues to exist for backward compatibility purposes. The crate continues to maintain compatibility with Rust 1.12.0.

This release also deprecates the ByteOrder trait methods read_f32_into_unchecked and read_f64_into_unchecked in favor of read_f32_into and read_f64_into. This was an oversight from the 1.2 release where the corresponding methods on ReadBytesExt were deprecated.

quickcheck and rand were bumped to 0.8 and 0.6, respectively.

A few small documentation related bugs have been fixed.

1.2.7

This patch release excludes some CI files from the crate release and updates the license field to use OR instead of /.

1.2.6

This patch release fixes some test compilation errors introduced by an over-eager release of 1.2.5.

1.2.5

This patch release fixes some typos in the docs, adds doc tests to methods on WriteByteExt and bumps the quickcheck dependency to 0.7.

1.2.4

This patch release adds support for 48-bit integers by adding the following methods to the ByteOrder trait: read_u48, read_i48, write_u48 and write_i48. Corresponding methods have been added to the ReadBytesExt and WriteBytesExt traits as well.

1.2.3

This patch release removes the use of feature(i128_type) from byteorder, since it has been stabilized. We leave byteorder's i128 feature in place in order to continue supporting compilation on older versions of Rust.

1.2.2

This patch release only consists of internal improvements and refactorings. Notably, this removes all uses of transmute and instead uses pointer casts.

1.2.1

This patch release removes more unnecessary uses of unsafe that were overlooked in the prior 1.2.0 release. In particular, the ReadBytesExt::read_{f32,f64}_into_checked methods have been deprecated and replaced by more appropriately named read_{f32,f64}_into methods.

1.2.0

The most prominent change in this release of byteorder is the removal of unnecessary signaling NaN masking, and in turn, the unsafe annotations associated with methods that didn't do masking. See #103 for more details.

1.1.0

This release of byteorder features a number of fixes and improvements, mostly as a result of the Litz Blitz evaluation.

Feature enhancements:

  • FEATURE #63: Add methods for reading/writing slices of numbers for a specific endianness.
  • FEATURE #65: Add support for u128/i128 types. (Behind the nightly only i128 feature.)
  • FEATURE #72: Add “panics” and “errors” sections for each relevant public API item.
  • FEATURE #74: Add CI badges to Cargo.toml.
  • FEATURE #75: Add more examples to public API items.
  • Add 24-bit read/write methods.
  • Add BE and LE type aliases for BigEndian and LittleEndian, respectively.

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #68: Panic in {BigEndian,LittleEndian}::default.
  • BUG #69: Seal the ByteOrder trait to prevent out-of-crate implementations.
  • BUG #71: Guarantee that the results of read_f32/read_f64 are always defined.
  • BUG #73: Add crates.io categories.
  • BUG #77: Add html_root doc attribute.
