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!
• 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 and Arc 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

[0.10-pre] - 2014-03-02

Added

• Seperate rand out of the standard library
