Version 0.11.6

• No longer depend on serde's derive feature
• Improve performance of opening Zip

For version starting from 0.18, rodio support is in assets_manager-rodio. This allows keeping up to date with rodio versions more easily, and potentially improving compile times.

Version 0.11.5

• Internals improvements

Version 0.11.4

• Update base64 to 0.22
• Improve internals to reduce monomorphization per asset type

Version 0.11.3

• Add downcast method to AssetReadGuard<'_, dyn Any>
• Add into_inner and downcast methods to Error
• Implement Default for many types (including AssetCache, LocalAssetCache, source::Empty, ReloadId and AtomicReloadId)
• Doc: Make it clear that get_or_insert inhibits hot-reloading

Version 0.11.2

Added

• Support for deriving Asset trait

  #[derive(Asset, serde::Deserialize)]
  #[asset_format = "ron"]
  struct Point {
      x: i32,
      y: i32,
  }

• AssetReadGuard::map and AssetReadGuard::try_map
• Many methods on UntypedHandle to mirror those on Handle<T>

Changed

• Zip::from_bytes* and Tar::from_bytes* are now generic over the bytes type.
  In consequence, from_slice* are now deprecated.
• Small documentation improvements.

Version 0.11.1

• Use sync_file::SyncFile as default type parameter of Tar

Version 0.11.0

Highlights

• Hot-reloading was reworked to be easier to implement and more robust to use while simplifying internals.

  • Hot-reloading implementation now only have to send the changed files instead of tracking asset types and ids. Hot-reloading APIs were changed to reflect this.
  • Compound implementations can now use raw Source methods from the cache and everything will work.
    This means that using load_owned instead of T::load is no longer necessary, and that it is possible to read files directly.
  • Hot-reloading now works for directories.

• Changed Handle<'a, T> to &'a Handle<T>. This conveys better the fact that it is a reference and makes its use easier. Getting an owned Handle<T> is not possible.

  impl<'a> AnyCache<'a> {
  -   fn load<T: Compound>(self, id: &str) -> Handle<'a, T> { ... }
  +   fn load<T: Compound>(self, id: &str) -> &'a Handle<T> { ... }
  }

  • Handle::same_handle was removed in favor of std::ptr::eq.
  • PartialEq and Eq implementations were removed in favor of explicit locking.
  • A field id was added to the Debug implementation.

• Directories are now regular Compounds that can be used with all APIs. Two methods load_dir and load_rec_dir are still provided for convenience.

  -let handle = cache.load_dir::<T>(id, false)?;
  +let handle = cache.load_dir::<T>(id)?;
  
  -let handle = cache.load_dir::<T>(id, true)?;
  +let handle = cache.load_rec_dir::<T>(id)?;

• Support for TAR archives was added.

  let cache = AssetCache::with_source(source::Tar::open("assets.tar")?);

• LocalAssetCache, a thread-local variant of AssetCache was added.
  It cannot be shared across threads but is more performant due to the lack of synchronization. Appart from that, it works exactly the same.

• UntypedHandle, a type-erased variant of Handle<T> was added
  It can be obtained from a Handle<T>. Like Handle it can be used to get its id or even read to get a &dyn Any.

• AsAnyCache trait was added to easily make generic interfaces over cache types.

Other changes

• Asset::default_value now uses BoxedError instead of assets_manager::Error and &SharedString instead of &str. It remains functionally the same appart from that.
• parking_lot feature is no longer enabled by default.
• basic-toml is now used instead of toml_edit.
• Errors when reading from ZIP or from the file system were improved.
• Rename AssetGuard to AssetReadGuard
• Removed Asset implementation for Box
• Removed Debug impl of loaders. They could not be used anyway.
• AnyCache now always take methods by value
• MSRV is now 1.70

Other additions

• OnceInitCell now implement UnwindSafe and RefUnwindSafe
• ReloadId::NEVER

Bug fixes

• A condition was inverted for when to emit a warning log in hot-reloading

Version 0.10.2

• Reduce monomorphization when hot-reloading is enabled

Version 0.10.1

• Move documentation from AssetCache to AnyCache
• Update notify to 6.0

Version 0.10.0

• Make DirHandle Send + Sync

Breaking:

• Update rodio to 0.17
• Make Source::read return a FileContent. This is basically a Cow<[u8]> with a new Box<dyn AsRef<[u8]>> variant.
• Rename AnyCache::source to raw_source
