uuid 0.7.3: Fast strings

Added

• The uuid::Error error type. This is a sumtype of uuid::BytesError and uuid::ParseError.(#373)
  • Useful when the underlying uuid version and its error types don't matter until an error occurs.
• Add encode_{lower, upper} for the uuid::adapter::{ Hyphenated, Simple, Urn }(#378)
• Relatedly, added uuid::Uuid::encode_buffer for the buffer used in the encode_{lower,upper} functions.(#378)

Changes

• Remove the rand dependency for v3 and v5 Uuids. (#371)

uuid 0.7.2: Microsoft love

Added

• Support for winapi GUIDs, with guid feature (#336, #338)
• Introduce Uuid builder interface (#332)
• Support for compact serialization of uuid::Uuid and related types with uuid::adapter::compact::{serialize,deserialize) (#331)
  • use serde_derive's #[serde(with = "uuid::adapter::compact::dense_serde")] you can for your specific case with attributes.
• Add support for functions that provide uuids in little endian format (#311)
  • By default, the internal representation of uuid::Uuids is unspecified.
  • However all functions returning the bytes are guaranteed to be big endian

Changes

• Use hyphenated string instead of a raw bytes for uuid::Uuid Debug output (#360)
• Adjust the error message for uuid::parser::Error::InvalidCharacter for clarity. (#355)

Fixes

• uuid::Uuid::new_v4 compiles on wasm32 but panics at execution (#351, #358)

Dependencies

• md5 from 0.3 to 0.6 (#321, #262)
