New Features

  • add threading primitives with feature toggle
    If the threading feature is set, the threading module will contain thread-safe primitives
    for shared ownership and mutation, otherwise these will be their single threaded counterparts.

    This way, single-threaded applications don't have to pay for threaded primitives.

Changed (BREAKING)

  • parallel utilities now use Send + Clone insted of Send + Sync
    This helps to assure that thread-local computations always work with the
    kind of types we provide. The ones that are carrying out actions are
    notably not Sync anymore.

    We cater to that by defining our bounds accordingly, but for those
    who want to use other utilities that need Sync, using types like
    Repository and thread_local!() is the only way to make this
    work.
