## [0.2.0]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/compare/v0.1.0...v0.2.0 - 2026-06-22

### Added

- *(bin)* re-runnable validate() / is_valid() methods ([#21]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/21)
- *(bin)* [**breaking**] carry encode mode on the value; encode(w) follows it ([#20]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/20)
- *(bin)* canonical helpers — to_canonical / canonical_diff / is_canonical ([#16]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/16)
- *(bitfield)* custom Debug that decomposes the logical fields ([#15]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/15)

### Other

- *(examples)* add framed — bytes-feature framing + streaming ([#24]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/24)
- *(bin)* [**breaking**] cut inherent encode_into / canonical_encode_into ([#23]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/23)
- align design/roadmap/guide with the encode/validate/construct model ([#22]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/22)
- clarify the verbatim vs canonical encode model ([#19]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/19)
- *(examples)* add telemetry — synthetic stacking showcase ([#17]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/17)
- [**breaking**] encode(w, mode: EncodeMode) — fold canonical into BitEncode ([#18]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/18)
- *(examples)* add ipv4 — real IPv4 header parser ([#12]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/12)
- *(roadmap)* capture encode-model + #[default] open decisions ([#13]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/13)
- [**breaking**] split encode into verbatim (to_bytes) + canonical (to_canonical_bytes) ([#14]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/14)
- reorganize repo layout, declutter the root ([#11]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/11)
- add CONTRIBUTING.md ([#10]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/10)
- add SECURITY.md (threat model + dual-use scope + reporting) ([#9]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/9)
- *(bnb)* boundary stress for hostile count + the endian×bit-order matrix ([#8]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/8)
- *(semver-checks)* block SemVer breakage vs the last release tag ([#7]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/7)
- *(public-api)* add cargo-public-api snapshot + drift gate ([#6]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/6)
- *(lints)* forbid unsafe_code workspace-wide (zero-unsafe guarantee) ([#5]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/5)
- *(bnb)* add cargo-fuzz target for the decode path ([#4]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/4)
- *(bnb-macros)* rename codec source/sink params to __bnb_r/__bnb_w ([#1]https://github.com/RawSocketLabs/bitsandbytes/pull/1)
