Release 0.2.0

Features

• Cargo.toml now correctly includes both licences (Apache-2.0 OR MIT) in the license field.
• A new CHANGELOG.md file lists (breaking) changes between versions.

Breaking changes

• The default generator implementation was switched to lock-free.
  
  I.e. the blocking feature is now turned off by default, and lock-free is enabled. If your code uses
  Generator::generate_blocking(), you'll have to enable the blocking feature explicitly. However, unless you want to
  keep using the blocking implementation, no changes are required if you use Generator::generate.
• Snowflakes are now serialized as a u64 instead of a structure.

Happy generating!

Release 0.1.0

The initial release of Snowdon. This release introduces the following features:

• a lock-free snowflake ID generator implementation,
• a blocking snowflake ID generator implementation,
• a snowflake comparator implementation enabling users to compare snowflakes with arbitrary timestamps,
• a flexible Snowflake type allowing static enforcement of specific layout and epoch implementations without adding any runtime overhead,
• and an implementation for the classic snowflake ID layout introduced by Twitter.

Moreover, this release adds unit tests, an integration test using loom, and a PROMELA implementation of our lock-free algorithm that can be verified with SPIN.

Refer to the release's documentation for details on the introduced APIs. Happy generating!
