This release has an MSRV of 1.88.

Added

  • The kernel! macro, which creates safe wrappers around SIMD-level-specific kernels so platform intrinsics from core::arch or std::arch can be used safely when a token proves the required target features. (#214 by @Shnatsel)
  • The approximate_recip method on floating-point SIMD vector types. It uses fast hardware reciprocal estimates where available and exact division otherwise. (#204 by @tomcur)
  • SimdMask::from_bitmask, SimdMask::to_bitmask, SimdMask::test, and SimdMask::set, mirroring the std::simd mask API. (#226 by @Shnatsel)

Changed

  • Breaking change: the crate's SIMD extension traits are now sealed, so external crates can no longer implement them for their own types. (#211 by @LaurenzV)
  • Breaking change: mask types now have opaque storage and use the new SimdMask trait instead of SimdBase. Masks no longer expose integer-vector APIs such as Deref, indexing, Bytes, public SimdSplit/SimdCombine, slide, slide_within_blocks, byte conversions, or scalar bit-operator overloads. (#218 by @Shnatsel)
  • Generated SIMD loads, stores, reference casts, transmute-like conversions, helpers, const-generic functions, and intrinsic calls now use checked wrappers or kernel!, removing most unsafe from generated code. (#232, #233, #234, #235, #236, #237, #238, #239, #244, #245 by @Shnatsel)
  • Documentation and examples have been expanded and cleaned up for SIMD level tokens, mask types, platform-specific intrinsics, custom transmute wrappers, README consistency, and docs.rs visibility for NEON and WebAssembly APIs. (#213, #221, #222, #230, #240, #243 by @Shnatsel, #224, #225 by @DJMcNab)

Removed

  • Breaking change: the core_arch wrapper module and the safe_wrappers feature have been removed. Use kernel! with core::arch or std::arch intrinsics instead. (#216 by @Shnatsel)
