# 0.3.0 (Oct 22, 2021)
This is a breaking release of `tracing-subscriber`. The primary breaking
change in this release is the removal of the dependency on the [`chrono`
crate], due to [RUSTSEC-2020-0159]. To replace `chrono`, support is
added for formatting timestamps using the [`time` crate] instead.
In addition, this release includes a number of other breaking API
changes, such as adding (limited) support for `#![no_std]` targets,
removing previously deprecated APIs, and more.
### Breaking Changes
- Removed APIs deprecated in the v0.2.x release series.
- Renamed `Layer::new_span` to `Layer::on_new_span` ([#1674])
- Removed `Layer` impl for `Arc<L: Layer<S>>` and `Arc<dyn Layer<S> +
...>` ([#1649])
- Replaced the [`chrono` crate] with the [`time` crate] for timestamp
formatting, to resolve [RUSTSEC-2020-0159] ([#1646])
- Removed `json` and `env-filter` from default features. They must now
be enabled explictly ([#1647])
- Changed `FormatEvent::format_event` and `FormatFields::format_fields`
trait methods to take a `Writer` type, rather than a `&mut dyn
fmt::Write` trait object ([#1661])
- Changed the signature of the `MakeWriter` trait by adding a lifetime
parameter ([#781])
### Changed
- **layer**: Renamed `Layer::new_span` to `Layer::on_new_span` ([#1674])
- **fmt**: Changed `FormatEvent::format_event` and
`FormatFields::format_fields` trait methods to take a `Writer` type,
rather than a `&mut dyn fmt::Write` trait object ([#1661])
- **json**, **env-filter**: `json` and `env-filter` feature flags are no
longer enabled by default ([#1647])
### Removed
- Removed deprecated `CurrentSpan` type ([#1320])
- **registry**: Removed deprecated `SpanRef::parents` iterator, replaced
by `SpanRef::scope` in [#1431] ([#1648)])
- **layer**: Removed deprecated `Context::scope` iterator, replaced by
`Context::span_scope` and `Context::event_scope` in [#1431] and
[#1434] ([#1648)])
- **layer**: Removed `Layer` impl for `Arc<L: Layer<S>>` and `Arc<dyn
Layer<S> + ...>`. These interfere with per-layer filtering. ([#1649])
- **fmt**: Removed deprecated `LayerBuilder` type ([#1673])
- **fmt**: Removed `fmt::Layer::on_event` (renamed to
`fmt::Layer::fmt_event`) ([#1673])
- **fmt**, **chrono**: Removed the `chrono` feature flag and APIs for
using the [`chrono` crate] for timestamp formatting ([#1646])
### Added
- **fmt**, **time**: `LocalTime` and `UtcTime` types for formatting
timestamps using the [`time` crate] ([#1646])
- **fmt**: Added a lifetime parameter to the `MakeWriter` trait,
allowing it to return a borrowed writer. This enables implementations
of `MakeWriter` for types such as `Mutex<T: io::Write>` and
`std::fs::File`. ([#781])
- **env-filter**: Documentation improvements ([#1637])
- Support for some APIs on `#![no_std]` targets, by disabling the `std`
feature flag ([#1660])
