    🔄 Changed

    • mqueue functions now operate on a distinct type, nix::mqueue::MqdT. Accessors take this type by reference, not by value. (#1639)
    • ✂ Removed SigSet::extend in favor of <SigSet as Extend<Signal>>::extend. Because of this change, you now need use std::iter::Extend to call extend on a SigSet. (#1553)
    • ✂ Removed the the PATH_MAX restriction from APIs accepting paths. Paths will now be allocated on the heap if they are too long. In addition, large instruction count improvements (~30x) were made to path handling. (#1656)
    • 🔄 Changed getrlimit and setrlimit to use rlim_t directly instead of Option<rlim_t>. (#1668)
    • 🗄 Deprecated InetAddr and SockAddr in favor of SockaddrIn, SockaddrIn6, and SockaddrStorage. (#1684)
    • 🗄 Deprecated IpAddr, Ipv4Addr, and Ipv6Addr in favor of their equivalents from the standard library. (#1685)
    • uname now returns a Result<UtsName> instead of just a UtsName and ignoring failures from libc. And getters on the UtsName struct now return an &OsStr instead of &str. (#1672)
    • Replaced IoVec with IoSlice and IoSliceMut, and replaced IoVec::from_slice with IoSlice::new. (#1643)

    🛠 Fixed

    • InetAddr::from_std now sets the sin_len/sin6_len fields on the BSDs. (#1642)
    • 🛠 Fixed a panic in LinkAddr::addr. That function now returns an Option. (#1675) (#1677)

    ✂ Removed

    • ✂ Removed public access to the inner fields of NetlinkAddr, AlgAddr, SysControlAddr, LinkAddr, and VsockAddr. (#1614)
    • ✂ Removed EventFlag::EV_SYSFLAG. (#1635)
