ZeroPool v0.3.0

What's New in v0.3.0

Breaking Changes

• BREAKING: BufferPool::get() now returns PooledBuffer instead of Vec<u8>
  • PooledBuffer implements Deref<Target = Vec<u8>> for transparent access
  • Buffers automatically return to pool when dropped (RAII pattern)
  • No more manual pool.put() calls needed
• BREAKING: BufferPool::put() is now internal-only (pub(crate))

New Features

• New PooledBuffer type with automatic buffer return via Drop trait
• Configurable eviction policies (LIFO, ClockPro) for fine-tuned performance
• Profiling binaries for performance analysis:
  • ml_checkpoint_loader: ML model loading simulation
  • network_server: Multi-threaded network server simulation
  • file_pipeline: File processing pipeline simulation
  • stress_test: High-stress workload testing
• Modularized codebase with separate modules

Improvements

• Removed all unsafe code blocks for improved safety
• Fixed all clippy warnings and formatting issues
• Improved code organization and documentation

Migration Guide

Before (v0.2.x):

let buf = pool.get(1024);
// use buf
pool.put(buf); // Manual return

After (v0.3.0):

let buf = pool.get(1024);
// use buf
// Auto-returns on drop!

// For explicit early return:
drop(buf);
