## circular-buffer 2.0.0

### New features

This release restructures the crate around three types that mirror the
relationship between Rust's `slice`, `array`, and `Vec`:

* `CircularBuffer<T>`: a new *unsized* "reference" type that holds the core
  logic (analogous to a slice `[T]`).
* `FixedCircularBuffer<T, N>`: the fixed-capacity, stack-allocatable buffer
  (analogous to an array `[T; N]`). This is the new name for what used to be
  `CircularBuffer<N, T>` in version 1 of the crate.
* `HeapCircularBuffer<T>`: a new heap-allocated buffer whose capacity can be
  set at runtime (analogous to `Vec<T>`).

### Breaking changes

* Renamed the fixed-capacity buffer from `CircularBuffer<N, T>` to
  `FixedCircularBuffer<T, N>`. Note that the order of the generic parameters
  has also changed (to be more consistent with the order of parameters in
  Rust's array type). For example, `CircularBuffer<16, u32>` becomes
  `FixedCircularBuffer<u32, 16>`.
* The struct `CircularBuffer` is now the unsized type described above, no
  longer the owned fixed-size buffer.
* Removed the deprecated `use_std` cargo feature; use `std` instead.
* Removed the `unstable` cargo feature. All the code in this crate now uses
  fully stable Rust.
* Increased the minimum supported Rust version from 1.87 to 1.93.

### Bug fixes

* Fixed a panic in `drain()` when called on a zero-capacity buffer.
* Fixed `try_push_back()` and `try_push_front()` on zero-capacity buffers. The
  methods used to discard the specified item; now they return it as an `Err`.
* Fixed a potential double-drop in the `From<[T; M]>` implementation for
  `FixedCircularBuffer` that could occur when an element's `Drop`
  implementation panicked.

### Other changes

* Performance improvements for the `Clone` implementation.

## circular-buffer 1.2.0

* Updated Rust edition from 2021 to 2024
* Updated MSRV from 1.82 to 1.87
* Removed polyfill code for features that have been stabilized in Rust 1.87

## circular-buffer 1.1.0

### New features

* Added `nth_front()` and `nth_back()`.

## circular-buffer 1.0.0

### New features

* When the buffer is full, `push_front()` and `push_back()` now return the
  replaced element ([contributed by Zacchary
  Dempsey-Plante](https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/3)).

### Other changes

* Increased the minimum supported rustc version to 1.82

## circular-buffer 0.1.9

* This release does not introduce any new features or bug fixes. It only
  changes the dev-dependencies used by unit tests ([contributed by Ben
  Beasley](https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/16)).

## circular-buffer 0.1.8

### New features

* Added optional support for
  [`embedded-io`]https://crates.io/crates/embedded-io and
  [`embedded-io-async`]https://crates.io/crates/embedded-io-async
  ([contributed by
  DaneSlattery](https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/15)).

### Other changes

* Renamed the `use_std` cargo feature to `std` (the old `use_std` is now an
  alias for `std`, so this is not a breaking change).

## circular-buffer 0.1.7

### New features

* Implemented the traits [`Index<usize>`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Index.html and
  [`IndexMut<usize>`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.IndexMut.html for `CircularBuffer`. Now elements of the
  buffer can be accessed and modified with indexing operations (`buf[index]`), like in the following example:

  ```rust
  use circular_buffer::CircularBuffer;
  let mut buf = CircularBuffer::<5, char>::from(['a', 'b', 'c']);
  assert_eq!(buf[0], 'a');
  buf[1] = 'd';
  assert_eq!(buf[1], 'd');
  ```

* Added new methods to fill the whole buffer, or the spare capacity of the buffer:
  [`fill()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.7/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.fill,
  [`fill_with()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.7/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.fill_with,
  [`fill_spare()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.7/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.fill_spare,
  [`fill_spare_with()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.7/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.fill_spare_with.

* Added a new `alloc` feature that brings heap-allocation features to `no_std` environments through the
  [`alloc`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/alloc/ crate ([contributed by
  Haoud](https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/11)).

* Implemented the [`BufRead`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.BufRead.html trait for `CircularBuffer` (not
  available in `no_std` environments).

### Bug fixes

* Fixed an out-of-bounds read in
  [`remove()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.7/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.remove.

* Removed `#[must_use]` from
  [`drain()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.7/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.drain: it is
  perfectly acceptable to ignore the return value from this method.

### Other changes

* Raised the minimum rustc version to 1.65

## circular-buffer 0.1.6

* Fixed a bug in bug in bug in the [`PartialEq`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cmp/trait.PartialEq.html implementation
  that would lead to a panic in some circumstances.

## circular-buffer 0.1.5

* Added
  [`try_push_back()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.try_push_back
  and
  [`try_push_front()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.try_push_front
  as non-overwriting alternatives to
  [`push_back()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.push_back and
  [`push_front()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.push_front
  ([contributed by Rinat Shigapov in GH-5]https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/5).

* Added [`drain()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.drain to
  remove ranges of elements.

* Added
  [`make_contiguous()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.make_contiguous
  to return a contiguous mutable slice of elements.

* [`Iter`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.Iter.html and
  [`IterMut`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.5/circular_buffer/struct.IterMut.html now implement the
  [`Default`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/default/trait.Default.html trait.

## circular-buffer 0.1.4

* Fixed a bug in
  [`range()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.4/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.range and
  [`range_mut()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.4/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.range_mut
  that made them return more elements than requested in some circumstances.

## circular-buffer 0.1.3

* Fixed [`range()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.3/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.range and
  [`range_mut()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.3/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.range_mut
  when passing an empty range ([contributed by Icxolu in
  GH-4](https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/4)).

## circular-buffer 0.1.2

* Made
  [`extend_from_slice()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.2/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.extend_from_slice
  safer by ensuring that all cloned elements get dropped in case a panic occurs.

* Optimized all [`PartialEq`]https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cmp/trait.PartialEq.html implementations.

* Fixed a [strict-provenance]https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95228 error in
  [`swap()`]https://docs.rs/circular-buffer/0.1.2/circular_buffer/struct.CircularBuffer.html#method.swap ([contributed
  by René Kijewski in GH-2](https://github.com/andreacorbellini/rust-circular-buffer/pull/2)).

## circular-buffer 0.1.1

* Made circular-buffer compatible with the stable version of rustc.

## circular-buffer 0.1.0

* Initial release.
