The change log. + +/// Release 0.7.4 (2022-11-07) +/// +/// This release has no functional changes. +/// +/// `RTLD_LAZY`, `RTLD_GLOBAL` and `RTLD_LOCAL` constants have been implemented for AIX platforms. +pub mod r0_7_4 {} + +/// Release 0.7.3 (2022-01-15) +/// +/// This release has no functional changes. +/// +/// In this release the `docsrs` `cfg` has been renamed to `libloading_docs` to better reflect that +/// this `cfg` is intended to be only used by `libloading` and only specifically for the invocation +/// of `rustdoc` when documenting `libloading`. Setting this `cfg` in any other situation is +/// unsupported and will not work. +pub mod r0_7_3 {} + +/// Release 0.7.2 (2021-11-14) +/// +/// Cargo.toml now specifies the MSRV bounds, which enables tooling to report an early failure when +/// the version of the toolchain is insufficient. Refer to the [min-rust-version RFC] and its +/// [tracking issue]. +/// +/// [min-rust-version RFC]: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2495-min-rust-version.html +/// [tracking issue]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65262 +/// +/// Additionally, on platforms `libloading` has no support (today: `not(any(unix, windows))`), we +/// will no longer attempt to implement the cross-platform `Library` and `Symbol` types. This makes +/// `libloading` compile on targets such as `wasm32-unknown-unknown` and gives ability to the +/// downstream consumers of this library to decide how they want to handle the absence of the +/// library loading implementation in their code. One of such approaches could be depending on +/// `libloading` itself optionally as such: +/// +/// ```toml +/// [target.'cfg(any(unix, windows))'.dependencies.libloading] +/// version = "0.7" +/// ``` +pub mod r0_7_2 {} + +/// Release 0.7.1 (2021-10-09) +/// +/// Significantly improved the consistency and style of the documentation. +pub mod r0_7_1 {} + +/// Release 0.7.0 (2021-02-06) +/// +/// ## Breaking changes +/// +/// ### Loading functions are now `unsafe` +/// +/// A number of associated methods involved in loading a library were changed to +/// be `unsafe`. The affected functions are: [`Library::new`], [`os::unix::Library::new`], +/// [`os::unix::Library::open`], [`os::windows::Library::new`], +/// [`os::windows::Library::load_with_flags`]. This is the most prominent breaking change in this +/// release and affects majority of the users of `libloading`. +/// +/// In order to see why it was necessary, consider the following snippet of C++ code: +/// +/// ```c++ +/// #include <vector> +/// #include <iostream> +/// +/// static std::vector<unsigned int> UNSHUU = { 1, 2, 3 }; +/// +/// int main() { +/// std::cout << UNSHUU[0] << UNSHUU[1] << UNSHUU[2] << std::endl; // Prints 123 +/// return 0; +/// } +/// ``` +/// +/// The `std::vector` type, much like in Rust's `Vec`, stores its contents in a buffer allocated on +/// the heap. In this example the vector object itself is stored and initialized as a static +/// variable – a compile time construct. The heap, on the other hand, is a runtime construct. And +/// yet the code works exactly as you'd expect – the vector contains numbers 1, 2 and 3 stored in +/// a buffer on heap. So, _what_ makes it work out, exactly? +/// +/// Various executable and shared library formats define conventions and machinery to execute +/// arbitrary code when a program or a shared library is loaded. On systems using the PE format +/// (e.g. Windows) this is available via the optional `DllMain` initializer. Various systems +/// utilizing the ELF format take a sightly different approach of maintaining an array of function +/// pointers in the `.init_array` section. A very similar mechanism exists on systems that utilize +/// the Mach-O format. +/// +/// For the C++ program above, the object stored in the `UNSHUU` global variable is constructed +/// by code run as part of such an initializer routine. This initializer is run before the entry +/// point (the `main` function) is executed, allowing for this magical behaviour to be possible. +/// Were the C++ code built as a shared library instead, the initialization routines would run as +/// the resulting shared library is loaded. In case of `libloading` – during the call to +/// `Library::new` and other methods affected by this change. +/// +/// These initialization (and very closely related termination) routines can be utilized outside of +/// C++ too. Anybody can build a shared library in variety of different programming languages and +/// set up the initializers to execute arbitrary code. Potentially code that does all sorts of +/// wildly unsound stuff. +/// +/// The routines are executed by components that are an integral part of the operating system. +/// Changing or controlling the operation of these components is infeasible. With that in +/// mind, the initializer and termination routines are something anybody loading a library must +/// carefully evaluate the libraries loaded for soundness. +/// +/// In practice, a vast majority of the libraries can be considered a good citizen and their +/// initialization and termination routines, if they have any at all, can be trusted to be sound. +/// +/// Also see: [issue #86]. +/// +/// ### Better & more consistent default behaviour on UNIX systems +/// +/// On UNIX systems the [`Library::new`], [`os::unix::Library::new`] and +/// [`os::unix::Library::this`] methods have been changed to use +/// <code>[RTLD_LAZY] | [RTLD_LOCAL]</code> as the default set of loader options (previously: +/// [`RTLD_NOW`]). This has a couple benefits. Namely: +/// +/// * Lazy binding is generally quicker to execute when only a subset of symbols from a library are +/// used and is typically the default when neither `RTLD_LAZY` nor `RTLD_NOW` are specified when +/// calling the underlying `dlopen` API; +/// * On most UNIX systems (macOS being a notable exception) `RTLD_LOCAL` is the default when +/// neither `RTLD_LOCAL` nor [`RTLD_GLOBAL`] are specified. The explicit setting of the +/// `RTLD_LOCAL` flag makes this behaviour consistent across platforms. +/// +/// ### Dropped support for Windows XP/Vista +/// +/// The (broken) support for Windows XP and Windows Vista environments was removed. This was +/// prompted primarily by a similar policy change in the [Rust +/// project](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/378) but also as an acknowledgement +/// to the fact that `libloading` never worked in these environments anyway. +/// +/// ### More accurate error variant names +/// +/// Finally, the `Error::LoadLibraryW` renamed to [`Error::LoadLibraryExW`] to more accurately +/// represent the underlying API that's failing. No functional changes as part of this rename +/// intended. +/// +/// [issue #86]: https://github.com/nagisa/rust_libloading/issues/86 +/// [`Library::new`]: crate::Library::new +/// [`Error::LoadLibraryExW`]: crate::Error::LoadLibraryExW +/// [`os::unix::Library::this`]: crate::os::unix::Library::this +/// [`os::unix::Library::new`]: crate::os::unix::Library::new +/// [`os::unix::Library::open`]: crate::os::unix::Library::new +/// [`os::windows::Library::new`]: crate::os::windows::Library::new +/// [`os::windows::Library::load_with_flags`]: crate::os::windows::Library::load_with_flags +/// [`RTLD_NOW`]: crate::os::unix::RTLD_NOW +/// [RTLD_LAZY]: crate::os::unix::RTLD_LAZY +/// [RTLD_LOCAL]: crate::os::unix::RTLD_LOCAL +/// [`RTLD_GLOBAL`]: crate::os::unix::RTLD_GLOBAL +pub mod r0_7_0 {} + +/// Release 0.6.7 (2021-01-14) +/// +/// * Added a [`os::windows::Library::open_already_loaded`] to obtain a handle to a library that +/// must already be loaded.
