[0.8.0] - 2020-12-18

Platform support

• The minimum supported Rust version is now 1.36 (#1011)
• getrandom updated to v0.2 (#1041)
• Remove wasm-bindgen and stdweb feature flags. For details of WASM support, see the getrandom documentation. (#948)
• ReadRng::next_u32 and next_u64 now use little-Endian conversion instead of native-Endian, affecting results on Big-Endian platforms (#1061)
• The nightly feature no longer implies the simd_support feature (#1048)
• Fix simd_support feature to work on current nightlies (#1056)

Rngs

• ThreadRng is no longer Copy to enable safe usage within thread-local destructors (#1035)
• gen_range(a, b) was replaced with gen_range(a..b). gen_range(a..=b) is also supported. Note that a and b can no longer be references or SIMD types. (#744, #1003)
• Replace AsByteSliceMut with Fill and add support for [bool], [char], [f32], [f64] (#940)
• Restrict rand::rngs::adapter to std (#1027; see also #928)
• StdRng: add new std_rng feature flag (enabled by default, but might need to be used if disabling default crate features) (#948)
• StdRng: Switch from ChaCha20 to ChaCha12 for better performance (#1028)
• SmallRng: Replace PCG algorithm with xoshiro{128,256}++ (#1038)

Sequences

• Add IteratorRandom::choose_stable as an alternative to choose which does not depend on size hints (#1057)
• Improve accuracy and performance of IteratorRandom::choose (#1059)
• Implement IntoIterator for IndexVec, replacing the into_iter method (#1007)
• Add value stability tests for seq module (#933)

Misc

• Support PartialEq and Eq for StdRng, SmallRng and StepRng (#979)
• Added a serde1 feature and added Serialize/Deserialize to UniformInt and WeightedIndex (#974)
• Drop some unsafe code (#962, #963, #1011)
• Reduce packaged crate size (#983)
• Migrate to GitHub Actions from Travis+AppVeyor (#1073)

Distributions

• Alphanumeric samples bytes instead of chars (#935)
• Uniform now supports char, enabling rng.gen_range('A'..='Z') (#1068)
• Add UniformSampler::sample_single_inclusive (#1003)

Weighted sampling

• Implement weighted sampling without replacement (#976, #1013)
• rand::distributions::alias_method::WeightedIndex was moved to rand_distr::WeightedAliasIndex. The simpler alternative rand::distribution::WeightedIndex remains. (#945)
• Improve treatment of rounding errors in WeightedIndex::update_weights (#956)
• WeightedIndex: return error on NaN instead of panic (#1005)

Documentation

• Document types supported by random (#994)

As far as I can tell we will have to wait for snow to update to rand v0.8.0. It is currently using v0.7.0.

[dependabot]

A newer version of rand exists, but since this PR has been edited by someone other than Dependabot I haven't updated it. You'll get a PR for the updated version as normal once this PR is merged.

See mcginty/snow#107.

[dependabot]

Looks like rand is up-to-date now, so this is no longer needed.

@dependabot recreate

[dependabot]

Looks like this PR is closed. If you re-open it I'll rebase it as long as no-one else has edited it (you can use @dependabot reopen if the branch has been deleted).

[mxinden]

I am a bit puzzled why dependabot thinks rand has been updated to v0.8. The blocker on the snow release still holds.

Note that rust-libp2p now uses rand v0.8 thanks to @kpp #2857.
