# 1.7.1 * Fix docs build (mutually exclusive features, #112). # 1.7.0 * Support for no-std builds with the `experimental-thread-local`. Needs nightly compiler. No stability guarantees with this feature (#93). # 1.6.0 * Fix a data race reported by MIRI. * Avoid violating stacked borrows (AFAIK these are still experimental and not normative, but better safe than sorry). (#80). * The `AccessConvert` wrapper is needed less often in practice (#77). # 1.5.1 * bug: Insufficient synchronization on weak platforms (#76). Never observed in practice (it's suspected practical weak platforms like ARM are still stronger than the model), but still technically UB. * docs: Mention triomphe's `ThinArc` around the fat-pointer limitations. # 1.5.0 * Support serde (by a feature). # 1.4.0 * Allow const-initializing ArcSwapOption (`const_empty` method). # 1.3.2 * More helpful description of the `AsRaw` trait (isn't implemented for owned `Arc`/`Option`). # 1.3.1 * Cache doc improvements. # 1.3.0 * Allow mapping of DynAccess. * Fix some lints. * Don't leave threads running in tests/doctests. It's a bad form and annoys miri. # 1.2.0 * Miri and 32 bit tests in CI. * Making the writers lock-free. Soft-removing the IndependentStrategy, as it is no longer needed (hidden and the same as the DafultStrategy). # 1.1.0 * Fix soundness bug around access::Map. Technically a breaking change, but unlikely to bite and breaking seems to be the least bad option. #45. # 1.0.0 * Remove Clone implementation. People are often confused by it and it is easy to emulate by hand in the rare case it is actually needed. # 1.0.0-rc1 * Get rid of the `load_signal_safe`. It only complicates things and it is niche; signal-hook-registry has its own simplified version. * Avoid `from_ptr(as_ptr())`. Slight change in `RefCnt::inc` which technically is API breaking change, but this one should not matter in practice. * Extend documentation about clone behaviour. * Few more traits for Guard (`From`, `Default`). * Get rid of `rcu_unwap`, the whole concept is a trap. * Hide the whole gen lock thing. * Introduce the `Strategy`, as a high level way to choose how exactly the locking happens. - Not possible to implement by downstream users just yet, or call them. - The CaS is its own trait for flexibility. * Adding the SimpleGenLock experimental strategy. - Not part of stability guarantees. # 0.4.7 * Rename the `unstable-weak` to `weak` feature. The support is now available on 1.45 (currently in beta). # 0.4.6 * Adjust to `Weak::as_ptr` from std (the weak pointer support, relying on unstable features). * Support running on miri (without some optimizations), so dependencies may run miri tests. * Little optimization when waiting out the contention on write operations. # 0.4.5 * Added `Guard::from_inner`. # 0.4.4 * Top-level docs rewrite (less rambling, hopefully more readable). # 0.4.3 * Fix the `Display` implementation on `Guard` to correctly delegate to the underlying `Display` implementation. # 0.4.2 * The Access functionality ‒ ability to pass a handle to subpart of held data to somewhere with the ability to update itself. * Mapped cache can take `FnMut` as well as `Fn`. # 0.4.1 * Mapped caches ‒ to allow giving access to parts of config only. # 0.4.0 * Support for Weak pointers. * RefCnt implemented for Rc. * Breaking: Big API cleanups. - Peek is gone. - Terminology of getting the data unified to `load`. - There's only one kind of `Guard` now. - Guard derefs to the `Arc`/`Option` or similar. - `Cache` got moved to top level of the crate. - Several now unneeded semi-internal traits and trait methods got removed. * Splitting benchmarks into a separate sub-crate. * Minor documentation improvements. # 0.3.11 * Prevention against UB due to dropping Guards and overflowing the guard counter (aborting instead, such problem is very degenerate anyway and wouldn't work in the first place). # 0.3.10 * Tweak slot allocation to take smaller performance hit if some leases are held. * Increase the number of lease slots per thread to 8. * Added a cache for faster access by keeping an already loaded instance around. # 0.3.9 * Fix Send/Sync for Guard and Lease (they were broken in the safe but uncomfortable direction ‒ not implementing them even if they could). # 0.3.8 * `Lease>::unwrap()`, `expect()` and `into_option()` for convenient use. # 0.3.7 * Use the correct `#[deprecated]` syntax. # 0.3.6 * Another locking store (`PrivateSharded`) to complement the global and private unsharded ones. * Comparison to other crates/approaches in the docs. # 0.3.5 * Updates to documentation, made it hopefully easier to digest. * Added the ability to separate gen-locks of one ArcSwapAny from others. * Some speed improvements by inlining. * Simplified the `lease` method internally, making it faster in optimistic cases. # 0.3.4 * Another potentially weak ordering discovered (with even less practical effect than the previous). # 0.3.3 * Increased potentially weak ordering (probably without any practical effect). # 0.3.2 * Documentation link fix. # 0.3.1 * Few convenience constructors. * More tests (some randomized property testing). # 0.3.0 * `compare_and_swap` no longer takes `&Guard` as current as that is a sure way to create a deadlock. * Introduced `Lease` for temporary storage, which doesn't suffer from contention like `load`, but doesn't block writes like `Guard`. The downside is it slows down with number of held by the current thread. * `compare_and_swap` and `rcu` uses leases. * Made the `ArcSwap` as small as the pointer itself, by making the shards/counters and generation ID global. This comes at a theoretical cost of more contention when different threads use different instances. # 0.2.0 * Added an `ArcSwapOption`, which allows storing NULL values (as None) as well as a valid pointer. * `compare_and_swap` accepts borrowed `Arc` as `current` and doesn't consume one ref count. * Sharding internal counters, to improve performance on read-mostly contented scenarios. * Providing `peek_signal_safe` as the only async signal safe method to use inside signal handlers. This removes the footgun with dropping the `Arc` returned from `load` inside a signal handler. # 0.1.4 * The `peek` method to use the `Arc` inside without incrementing the reference count. * Some more (and hopefully better) benchmarks. # 0.1.3 * Documentation fix (swap is *not* lock-free in current implementation). # 0.1.2 * More freedom in the `rcu` and `rcu_unwrap` return types. # 0.1.1 * `rcu` support. * `compare_and_swap` support. * Added some primitive benchmarks. # 0.1.0 * Initial implementation.
