gotil

Version 2.2.2

Release Notes

Added new features and fixed/updated most documentation. Some minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

new features:
- created the infchan package with functions allowing the creation of infinitely buffered channels
- added synchronous rate limiting types to the rl package, with internal mutexing.
- added random.NewRandomizerRNG, allowing for a custom RNG (*rand.Rand) to be passed
bug fixes:
- fixed an issue where rl.Bucket#DrawMax could draw a negative amount, effectively removing uses / increasing remaining buckets, if ForceDraw previously overdrew
other changes:
- tests now create files in the OS temp directory (os.TempDir())
- modified some internal implementations
  - improved speed of security.OneTimeRunes by using a map instead of indexing
  - minimally improved performance of some rl.Bucket operations
- complete documentation refactoring
  - added documentation where it was missing
  - formatted existing documentation to central styles
  - fixed errors in a couple places
  - added a deprecation comment for optional.Optional[T]#GetOrZero in favor of OrElseZero

new features:
- added json marshalling and unmarshalling for type optional.Optional[T]
- added GetOrZero() T method to type optional.Optional[T] for naming consistency

Updated library to Go 1.18, migrated to and created new generic types and functions.

new features:
- java-style optional type optional.Optional[T]
- generic slice fuzzy function fn.FuzzySlice[T comparable](needle, haystack []T) bool
converted functions and types to 1.18 generics:
- random.Randomizer[T]{}
- slices.Sum[T Integer | Float](s []T) T
- slices.Average[T Float](s []T) T -- still uses moving average to help prevent overflow
- random.SecureRunes -> random.SecureSlice[T ~rune | ~byte](length int, set []T) ([]T, error)
