### Removed

## [0.1.2] - 2015-02-03
### Added
- Imported functionality from `std::rand`, including:
- `StdRng`, `SeedableRng`, `TreadRng`, `weak_rng()`
- `ReaderRng`: A wrapper around any Reader to treat it as an RNG.
- Imported documentation from `std::rand`
- Imported tests from `std::rand`
## [0.1.1] - 2015-02-03
### Added
- Migrate to a cargo-compatible directory structure.
### Fixed
- Do not use entropy during `gen_weighted_bool(1)`
## [Rust 0.12.0] - 2014-10-09
### Added
- Impl Rand for tuples of arity 11 and 12
- Include ChaCha pseudorandom generator
- Add `next_f64` and `next_f32` to Rng
- Implement Clone for PRNGs
### Changed
- Rename `TaskRng` to `ThreadRng` and `task_rng` to `thread_rng` (since a
runtime is removed from Rust).
### Fixed
- Improved performance of ISAAC and ISAAC64 by 30% and 12 % respectively, by
informing the optimiser that indexing is never out-of-bounds.
### Removed
- Removed the Deprecated `choose_option`
## [Rust 0.11.0] - 2014-07-02
### Added
- document when to use `OSRng` in cryptographic context, and explain why we use `/dev/urandom` instead of `/dev/random`
- `Rng::gen_iter()` which will return an infinite stream of random values
- `Rng::gen_ascii_chars()` which will return an infinite stream of random ascii characters
### Changed
- Now only depends on libcore! 2adf5363f88ffe06f6d2ea5c338d1b186d47f4a1
- Remove `Rng.choose()`, rename `Rng.choose_option()` to `.choose()`
- Rename OSRng to OsRng
- The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.
- The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the
`rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`.
### Removed
- `Rng::gen_vec()` was removed. Previous behavior can be regained with
`rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
- `Rng::gen_ascii_str()` was removed. Previous behavior can be regained with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
- {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
- Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported.
- Remove a slew of old deprecated functions
## [Rust 0.10] - 2014-04-03
### Changed
- replace `Rng.shuffle's` functionality with `.shuffle_mut`
- bubble up IO errors when creating an OSRng
### Fixed
- Use `fill()` instead of `read()`
- Rewrite OsRng in Rust for windows
## [0.10-pre] - 2014-03-02
### Added
- Seperate `rand` out of the standard library
