A stack-allocated fixed-length string type
Documentation
# Changelog

## v0.2.21 - 2026-05-19

- Enabled deprecation warnings for `from_inner()` and `from_inner_unchecked()`.
- Refactored `from_str_lossy()` to eliminate redundant array initialization.
- Refactored `from_fmt()` to simplify unsafe operations.
- Added CHANGELOG.md to the repository.

## v0.2.20 - 2026-05-17

### New features

- Added `fstr!` convenience macro for easier creation of `FStr` values with
  formatted content.
- Implemented `TryFrom<&str>` for `FStr` to improve ergonomics when converting
  from string literals.

### Renamings

- The following constant and methods of `FStr` are renamed for better
  readability and consistency. Old names are kept as deprecated synonyms for
  backward compatibility:
  - `LENGTH` -> `LEN`
  - `into_inner()` -> `into_bytes()`
  - `from_inner()` -> `from_bytes()`
  - `from_inner_unchecked()` -> `from_bytes_unchecked()`
  - `from_str_unwrap()` -> `from_str_const()`
  - `slice_to_terminator()` -> `slice_up_to()`
