Change Log

[0.10.0] - 2025-09-25

New

• New delegations of standard-library traits to MemCase; in particular,
  AsRef and Deref are back, but with a slightly different semantics, as
  the implementation Deref for MemCase<S> has target
  S::DeserType<_>::Target, and analogously for AsRef.

• New strategy for MemCase::encase, which uses a transparent wrapper Owned
  to bring back the original functionality.

• New SerType type alias, analogous to DeserType.

• Major internal code restructuring: TypeHash/AlignHash/MaxSizeOf are now
  computed on the serialization type, not on the serializable type.

• New convenience serialization implementation for &str, in the same vain as
  that for &[T].

Changed

• Major disruptive change: vectors and boxed slices have now the same
  serialization type. This makes them interchangeable at will in
  (de)serialization, which is an extremely useful feature. Unfortunately, old
  instances with replaceable type parameters whose concrete type is a vector
  will no longer be deserializable. The same happens for String and
  Box<str>.

• CopyType is now unsafe as there is no way to check a type contains
  no references.

• repr attributes are now sorted lexicographically. This change was
  necessary as the order of such attributes is irrelevant, but it might make
  impossible to deserialize old instances whose type specifies repr attributes
  in a different order.

• A few TypeHash/AlignHash implementation that were not really necessary
  have been removed.

Fixed

• The nostd feature now works.
