## [Unreleased]

## [0.1.0] - 2024-10-16

### Added

- Initial release of fastalloc
- `FixedPool` with O(1) allocation and deallocation
- `GrowingPool` with configurable growth strategies
- `ThreadLocalPool` for zero-synchronization performance
- `ThreadSafePool` for concurrent access
- Multiple allocation strategies: Stack (LIFO), free-list, and bitmap
- Smart handles with RAII automatic return to pool
- Builder pattern for pool configuration
- Growth strategies: None, Linear, Exponential, and Custom
- Initialization strategies: Lazy, Eager, and Custom with reset callbacks
- Optional statistics collection (`stats` feature)
- Optional serialization support (`serde` feature)
- Optional faster locks (`parking_lot` feature)
- Optional lock-free pool (`lock-free` feature with `crossbeam`)
- Optional tracing instrumentation (`tracing` feature)
- `no_std` support (core + alloc)
- Comprehensive documentation with examples
- Extensive test suite including integration tests
- Criterion-based benchmarks
- Examples for common use cases

### Features

- Zero-cost abstractions with type-safe handles
- Configurable memory alignment (including cache-line alignment)
- Custom initializers and reset functions
- Pool exhaustion detection with helpful error messages
- Debug assertions for double-free and use-after-free detection
- Thread-safe and thread-local variants

### Performance

- Fixed pool allocation: < 20ns per object
- Deallocation: < 10ns per object
- Memory overhead: < 5% for pools over 1000 objects
- Thread-safe pool: < 100ns with moderate contention

### Documentation

- Comprehensive API documentation
- Getting started guide
- Performance tuning guide
- Migration guide from standard allocation
- Architecture documentation
- Benchmark methodology
- Contributing guidelines
