rust-cfitsio v0.15.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-10-23 // over 5 years ago

    • 💥 (fitsio) BREAKING CHANGE: implementing underlying raw fitsfile pointer as a std::ptr::NonNull, meaning the pointer is guaranteed to never be null, increasing the safety of the API. The breaking change is that more methods require a mutable (exclusive) reference (due to the method of converting the NonNull to mutable pointer, required by some lower level methods). The upside is that the FitsFile object should have exclusive access as it wraps the state of the fits file on disk. Safe concurrent (though not parallel) access is given by the threadsafe method.
