## [0.2.0] - 2026-05-21

### Added

- Public error type `Error` with `Result<T>` alias.
- Zero-copy cursor primitives `ReadBuf` and `WriteBuf` for borrowed byte slices.
- Codec trait pair `Encode` and `Decode<'de>` with a blanket impl for `u8`.
- LEB128 unsigned varint module (`varint::{encode_u32, encode_u64, decode_u32, decode_u64, encoded_len_u32, encoded_len_u64, MAX_LEN_U16, MAX_LEN_U32, MAX_LEN_U64}`).
- Zigzag signed-integer module (`zigzag::{encode_i32, decode_i32, encode_i64, decode_i64}`), all `const fn`.
- Packed-bit cursors `BitReader` and `BitWriter`, big-endian (MSB-first) bit order.
- Framing module with `Framer` trait, `Frame<'a>` envelope, `LengthPrefixed`
  (u8 / u16 / u32 width, big or little endian), and `Delimited` (single or
  multi-byte delimiter).
- End-to-end smoke test exercising encode + framing + decode in one pipeline.
- API reference at `docs/API.md`.
- Release note at `docs/release/v0.2.0.md`.

### Changed

- Edition lowered from 2024 to 2021 to match the declared MSRV of 1.75.
