All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
-
Compatibility
is a new enum that controls compatibility of serialization and deserialization.Compatibility::Full
is the default compatibility level inv3.x
, and it serializes data in a way that even Potv1.0
deserializers can deserialize.Compatibility::V4
is a new serialization format that serializes enum variants without associated data in a way that allowsValue
deserialization to be done unambiguously. See #11 for an example of this issue. This bug only affecteddeserialize_any
-type deserialization. Typical deserialization works correctly.Compatibility can be configured using these new APIs:
Config::compatibility
Serializer::new_with_compatibility
SymbolMap::with_compatibility
SymbolMap::set_compatibility
-
#9
Value::from_serialize
now returns aResult
. Previously, if a Serialize implementation returned an error, the function would panic. Thanks to @wackbyte for finding this. -
Reader::buffered_read_bytes
now takes a third parameter,scratch: &mut Vec<u8>
and returns a new typeBufferedBytes
. This allows callers to supply a buffer for reading bytes into rather than requiring implementors allocate new buffers. -
PartialEq
forValue
has been changed such that if the bytes contained by a string match the bytes contained by a byte value, the values now compare as equal. Previously, all discriminants required exact matches.This was done due to Pot not knowing whether a value is a string or bytes when serialized. Bytes are auto-promoted to string if the bytes are valid UTF-8 in Value deserialization.
-
SymbolMap
now utilizes a new structureSymbolList
for managing symbols. This type optimizes storage of symbols when they are not borrowed from the deserialization source. -
format::write_atom_header
no longer accepts an option for thearg
parameter. -
format::read_atom
now accepts ascratch: &mut Vec<u8>
parameter which is used when reading an associatedNucleus::Bytes
. WhenNucleus::Bytes
containsBufferedBytes::Scratch
,scratch
will contain the bytes contained in the atom. -
SymbolMapRef
is now a struct with private contents. -
Error
is now#[non_exhaustive]
. -
format::Float
andformat::Integer
no longer implementSerialize
/Deserialize
. These implementations were derived but never actually used. To improve this crate's build parallelization, a decision was made to remove these usages of serde's derive macro. Implementing these traits would be trivial, but the crate maintainer doesn't believe anyone is actually using these implementations, so they were intentionally skipped. Please file an issue if this affected you and you would like to see these implementations added again.
pot::Result<T>
is nowpot::Result<T,E = pot::Error>
. This avoids issues with other code whenpot::Result
is imported.ValueIter
is now exported. This is the type returned fromValue::values()
.- The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) has been set to 1.70. This MSRV was chosen at the time due to dependencies also requiring this MSRV.
- Tracing instrumentation has been changed from the default level of INFO to TRACE.
- This crate no longer activates the
derive
feature ofserde
.
-
OwnedValue
now implementsFrom
forValue<'_>
and&Value<'_>
. -
Value
now implementsFromIterator<T>
whereT: Into<Value<'a>>
. The result will be the variantValue::Sequence
. -
Value
now implementsFromIterator<(K, V)>
whereK: Into<Value<'a>>, V: Into<Value<'a>>
. The result will be the variantValue::Mappings
. -
de::SymbolMap
andser::SymbolMap
now both implementSerialize
andDeserialize
using the same serialization strategy. This allows preshared dictionaries to be used, and for state to be saved and restored. -
de::SymbolMap
andser::SymbolMap
have new convenience methods that allow serializing and deserializing values directly:de::SymbolMap::deserialize_slice
de::SymbolMap::deserialize_from
ser::SymbolMap::serialize_to_vec
ser::SymbolMap::serialize_to
- The
format
module has been refactored to passWrite
by value rather than by mutable reference. Most code should not be affected becauseWrite
is implemented for&mut Write
.
-
The unit type
()
andOption::None
are more fuzzy when deserializing. If users deserialize a value that was serialized asNone
or()
, the default value will be returned rather than an error, when possible. For example:let unit = pot::to_vec(&())?; assert_eq!(pot::from_slice(&unit).unwrap(), 0_u32) let none = pot::to_vec(&Option::<bool>::None)?; assert_eq!(pot::from_slice(&unit).unwrap(), 0_u32)
This is not practically useful for most users, but when designing traits that have associated serializable types, sometimes it's useful to use
()
when no data needs to be stored. However, it can be painful to update existing data when switching between()
and other types, as Serde offers no built-in transmutation. Pot now offers this internally.
Value::from_serialize
andValue::deserialize_as
have been added, allowingValue
to be transmuted directly from types that implementSerialize
andDeserialize
.OwnedValue
is a new-type wrapper aroundValue<'static>
that can be used in situations whereDeserializeOwned
is a requirement. This type is needed becauseValue<'a>
can borrow from the source of the deserialization, and this flexibility causes lifetime errors when trying to deserialize aValue<'static>
asDeserializeOwned
.
- #5: Removed
release_max_level_off
feature flag.
serde(flatten)
is now supported.
- There were no changes in this release.
- Fixed compilation error caused by a new dependency upgrade.
from_reader
andConfig::deserialize_from
toDeserializeOwned
. This prevents errors at compile time that would arise at runtime when deserializing instead.
Config
now implementsClone
andDebug
.
- Added the
Value
type, allowing deserializing arbitrary Pot payloads without its original data structure.
- Small fixes when packing floats and integers. No breaking changes, as the incorrect code would just use more space than needed for certain values.
- Fixed deserializing unit enum variants.
- A minor format change was necessary to add full
deserialize_any()
support.
- First release.
