# Release 0.2.2
- [Casting from floating point to integers now returns `None` on overflow][52],
avoiding [rustc's undefined behavior][rust-10184]. This applies to the `cast`
function and the traits `NumCast`, `FromPrimitive`, and `ToPrimitive`.

# Release 0.2.1
- [The new `FloatCore` trait][32] offers a subset of `Float` for `#![no_std]` use.
[This includes everything][41] except the transcendental functions and FMA.
- [The new `Inv` trait][37] returns the multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal.
- [The new `Pow` trait][37] performs exponentiation, much like the existing `pow`
function, but with generic exponent types.
- [The new `One::is_one` method][39] tests if a value equals 1. Implementers
should override this method if there's a more efficient way to check for 1,
rather than comparing with a temporary `one()`.

# Release 0.2.0
- **breaking change**: [There is now a `std` feature][30], enabled by default, along
with the implication that building *without* this feature makes this a
`#![no_std]` crate.
- The `Float` and `Real` traits are only available when `std` is enabled.
- Otherwise, the API is unchanged, and num-traits 0.1.43 now re-exports its
items from num-traits 0.2 for compatibility (the [semver-trick]).

# Release 0.1.43
- All items are now [re-exported from num-traits 0.2][31] for compatibility.
[31]: https://github.com/rust-num/num-traits/pull/31
# Release 0.1.42
- [num-traits now has its own source repository][num-356] at [rust-num/num-traits][home].
- [`ParseFloatError` now implements `Display`][22].
- [The new `AsPrimitive` trait][17] implements generic casting with the `as` operator.
- [The new `CheckedShl` and `CheckedShr` traits][21] implement generic
support for the `checked_shl` and `checked_shr` methods on primitive integers.
- [The new `Real` trait][23] offers a subset of `Float` functionality that may be applicable to more
types, with a blanket implementation for all existing `T: Float` types.
Thanks to @cuviper, @Enet4, @fabianschuiki, @svartalf, and @yoanlcq for their contributions!
