Recent Changes
--------------
- 0.7.6
- Add new adaptor ``.multi_cartesian_product()`` which is an n-ary product
iterator by @tobz1000
- Add new method ``.sorted_by_key()`` by @Xion
- Provide simpler and faster ``.count()`` for ``.unique()`` and ``.unique_by()``
- 0.7.5
- ``.multipeek()`` now implements ``PeekingNext``, by @nicopap.
- 0.7.4
- Add new adaptor ``.update()`` by @lucasem; this adaptor is used
to modify an element before passing it on in an iterator chain.
- 0.7.3
- Add new method ``.collect_tuple()`` by @matklad; it makes a tuple out of
the iterator's elements if the number of them matches **exactly**.
- Implement ``fold`` and ``collect`` for ``.map_results()`` which means
it reuses the code of the standard ``.map()`` for these methods.
- 0.7.2
- Add new adaptor ``.merge_join_by`` by @srijs; a heterogeneous merge join
for two ordered sequences.
- 0.7.1
- Iterator adaptors and iterators in itertools now use the same ``must_use``
reminder that the standard library adaptors do, by @matematikaedit and @bluss
*“iterator adaptors are lazy and do nothing unless consumed”*.
- 0.7.0
- Faster ``izip!()`` by @krdln
- ``izip!()`` is now a wrapper for repeated regular ``.zip()`` and
a single ``.map()``. This means it optimizes as well as the standard
library ``.zip()`` it uses.
**Note:** ``multizip`` and ``izip!()`` are now different! The former
has a named type but the latter optimizes better.
- Faster ``.unique()``
- ``no_std`` support, which is opt-in!
- Many lovable features are still there without std, like ``izip!()``
or ``.format()`` or ``.merge()``, but not those that use collections.
- Trait bounds were required up front instead of just on the type:
``group_by``'s ``PartialEq`` by @Phlosioneer and ``repeat_call``'s
``FnMut``.
- Removed deprecated constructor ``Zip::new`` — use ``izip!()`` or ``multizip()``
- 0.6.5
- Fix bug in ``.cartesian_product()``'s fold (which only was visible for
unfused iterators).
- 0.6.4
- Add specific ``fold`` implementations for ``.cartesian_product()`` and
``cons_tuples()``, which improves their performance in fold, foreach, and
iterator consumers derived from them.
- 0.6.3
- Add iterator adaptor ``.positions(predicate)`` by @tmccombs
- 0.6.2
- Add function ``process_results`` which can “lift” a function of the regular
values of an iterator so that it can process the ``Ok`` values from an
iterator of ``Results`` instead, by @shepmaster
- Add iterator method ``.concat()`` which combines all iterator elements
into a single collection using the ``Extend`` trait, by @srijs
- 0.6.1
- Better size hint testing and subsequent size hint bugfixes by @rkarp.
Fixes bugs in product, interleave_shortest size hints.
- New iterator method ``.all_equal()`` by @phimuemue
- 0.6.0
- Deprecated names were removed in favour of their replacements
- ``.flatten()`` does not implement double ended iteration anymore
- ``.fold_while()`` uses ``&mut self`` and returns ``FoldWhile<T>``, for
composability (#168)
- ``.foreach()`` and ``.fold1()`` use ``self``, like ``.fold()`` does.
- ``.combinations(0)`` now produces a single empty vector. (#174)
- 0.5.10
- Add itertools method ``.kmerge_by()`` (and corresponding free function)
- Relaxed trait requirement of ``.kmerge()`` and ``.minmax()`` to PartialOrd.
- 0.5.9
- Add multipeek method ``.reset_peek()``
- Add categories
- 0.5.8
- Add iterator adaptor ``.peeking_take_while()`` and its trait ``PeekingNext``.
- 0.5.7
- Add iterator adaptor ``.with_position()``
- Fix multipeek's performance for long peeks by using ``VecDeque``.
- 0.5.6
- Add ``.map_results()``
- 0.5.5
- Many more adaptors now implement ``Debug``
- Add free function constructor ``repeat_n``. ``RepeatN::new`` is now
deprecated.
- 0.5.4
- Add infinite generator function ``iterate``, that takes a seed and a
closure.
- 0.5.3
- Special-cased ``.fold()`` for flatten and put back. ``.foreach()``
now uses fold on the iterator, to pick up any iterator specific loop
implementation.
- ``.combinations(n)`` asserts up front that ``n != 0``, instead of
running into an error on the second iterator element.
- 0.5.2
- Add ``.tuples::<T>()`` that iterates by two, three or four elements at
a time (where ``T`` is a tuple type).
- Add ``.tuple_windows::<T>()`` that iterates using a window of the
two, three or four most recent elements.
- Add ``.next_tuple::<T>()`` method, that picks the next two, three or four
elements in one go.
- ``.interleave()`` now has an accurate size hint.
- 0.5.1
- Workaround module/function name clash that made racer crash on completing
itertools. Only internal changes needed.
- 0.5.0
- `Release announcement <http://bluss.github.io/rust/2016/09/26/itertools-0.5.0/>`_
- Renamed:
- combinations is now tuple_combinations
- combinations_n to combinations
- group_by_lazy, chunks_lazy to group_by, chunks
- Unfold::new to unfold()
- RepeatCall::new to repeat_call()
- Zip::new to multizip
- PutBack::new, PutBackN::new to put_back, put_back_n
- PutBack::with_value is now a builder setter, not a constructor
- MultiPeek::new, .multipeek() to multipeek()
- format to format_with and format_default to format
- .into_rc() to rciter
- ``Partition`` enum is now ``Either``
- Module reorganization:
- All iterator structs are under ``itertools::structs`` but also
reexported to the top level, for backwards compatibility
- All free functions are reexported at the root, ``itertools::free`` will
be removed in the next version
- Removed:
- ZipSlices, use .zip() instead
- .enumerate_from(), ZipTrusted, due to being unstable
- .mend_slices(), moved to crate odds
- Stride, StrideMut, moved to crate odds
- linspace(), moved to crate itertools-num
- .sort_by(), use .sorted_by()
- .is_empty_hint(), use .size_hint()
- .dropn(), use .dropping()
- .map_fn(), use .map()
- .slice(), use .take() / .skip()
- helper traits in misc
- ``new`` constructors on iterator structs, use Itertools trait or free
functions instead
- ``itertools::size_hint`` is now private
- Behaviour changes:
- format and format_with helpers now panic if you try to format them more
than once.
- ``repeat_call`` is not double ended anymore
- New features:
- tuple flattening iterator is constructible with ``cons_tuples``
- itertools reexports ``Either`` from the ``either`` crate. ``Either<L, R>``
is an iterator when ``L, R`` are.

- tuple_combinations supports 1-4 tuples of combinations (previously just 2)
- 0.4.19
- Add ``.minmax_by()``

- Add ``itertools::free::rciter``
- Improve ``.step(n)`` slightly to take advantage of specialized Fuse better.
- 0.4.18
- Only changes related to the "unstable" crate feature. This feature is more
or less deprecated.
- Use deprecated warnings when unstable is enabled. .enumerate_from() will
be removed imminently since it's using a deprecated libstd trait.
