    🔄 Changed

    • PollFd event flags renamed to PollFlags (#1024)
    • recvmsg now returns an Iterator over ControlMessageOwned objects rather than ControlMessage objects. This is sadly not backwards-compatible. Fix code like this: rust if let ControlMessage::ScmRights(&fds) = cmsg {

    By replacing it with code like this:

      if let ControlMessageOwned::ScmRights(fds) = cmsg {

    (#1020)

    • Replaced CmsgSpace with the cmsg_space macro. (#1020)

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🛠 Fixed multiple bugs when using sendmsg and recvmsg with ancillary control messages (#1020)
    • Macros exported by nix may now be imported via use on the Rust 2018 edition without importing helper macros for BSD targets. (#1041)

    For example, in Rust 2018, the ioctl_read_bad! macro can now be imported without importing the convert_ioctl_res! macro.

      use nix::ioctl_read_bad;

  ioctl_read_bad!(tcgets, libc::TCGETS, libc::termios);

    ✂ Removed

    • Daemon, NOTE_REAP, and NOTE_EXIT_REPARENTED are now deprecated on OSX and iOS. (#1033)
    • PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETREGS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS, and PTRACE_SETFPREGS have been removed from some platforms where they never should've been defined in the first place. (#1055)
