## [Unreleased]


## [1.6.0] - 2020-05-09 <a name="1.6.0"></a>
### Added
- Added `LOG2_10` and `LOG10_2` constants to both `f16` and `bf16`, which were added to `f32` and
  `f64` in the standard library in 1.43.0. By [@tspiteri].
- Added `to_le/be/ne_bytes` and `from_le/be/ne_bytes` to both `f16` and `bf16`, which were added to
  the standard library in 1.40.0. By [@bzm3r].

## [1.5.0] - 2020-03-03 <a name="1.5.0"></a>
### Added
- Added the `alloc` feature to support the `alloc` crate in `no_std` environments. By [@zserik]. The
  `vec` module is now available with either `alloc` or `std` feature.

## [1.4.1] - 2020-02-10 <a name="1.4.1"></a>
### Fixed
- Added `#[repr(transparent)]` to `f16`/`bf16` to remove undefined behavior. By [@jfrimmel].

## [1.4.0] - 2019-10-13 <a name="1.4.0"></a>
### Added
- Added a `bf16` type implementing the alternative
  [`bfloat16`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bfloat16_floating-point_format) 16-bit floating point
  format. By [@tspiteri].
- `f16::from_bits`, `f16::to_bits`, `f16::is_nan`, `f16::is_infinite`, `f16::is_finite`,
  `f16::is_sign_positive`, and `f16::is_sign_negative` are now `const` fns.
- `slice::HalfBitsSliceExt` and `slice::HalfBitsSliceExt` extension traits have been added for
  performing efficient reinterpret casts and conversions of slices to and from `[f16]` and
  `[bf16]`.  These traits will use hardware SIMD conversion instructions when available and the
  `use-intrinsics` cargo feature is enabled.
- `vec::HalfBitsVecExt` and `vec::HalfFloatVecExt` extension traits have been added for
   performing efficient reinterpret casts to and from `Vec<f16>` and `Vec<bf16>`. These traits
   are only available with the `std` cargo feature.
- `prelude` has been added, for easy importing of most common functionality. Currently the
  prelude imports `f16`, `bf16`, and the new slice and vec extension traits.
- New associated constants on `f16` type to replace deprecated `consts` module.

### Fixed
- Software conversion (when not using `use-intrinsics` feature) now matches hardware rounding
  by rounding to nearest, ties to even. Fixes [#24], by [@tspiteri].
- NaN value conversions now behave like `f32` to `f64` conversions, retaining sign. Fixes [#23],
  by [@tspiteri].

### Changed
- Minimum rustc version bumped to 1.32.
- Runtime target host feature detection is now used if both `std` and `use-intrinsics` features are
  enabled and the compile target host does not support required features.
- When `use-intrinsics` feature is enabled, will now always compile and run without error correctly
  regardless of compile target options.

### Deprecated
- `consts` module and all its constants have been deprecated; use the associated constants on `f16`
  instead.
- `slice::from_bits` has been deprecated; use `slice::HalfBitsSliceExt::reinterpret_cast` instead.
- `slice::from_bits_mut` has been deprecated; use `slice::HalfBitsSliceExt::reinterpret_cast_mut`
  instead.
- `slice::to_bits` has been deprecated; use `slice::HalfFloatSliceExt::reinterpret_cast` instead.
- `slice::to_bits_mut` has been deprecated; use `slice::HalfFloatSliceExt::reinterpret_cast_mut`
  instead.
- `vec::from_bits` has been deprecated; use `vec::HalfBitsVecExt::reinterpret_into` instead.
- `vec::to_bits` has been deprecated; use `vec::HalfFloatVecExt::reinterpret_into` instead.

## [1.3.1] - 2019-10-04 <a name="1.3.1"></a>
### Fixed
- Corrected values of constants `EPSILON`, `MAX_10_EXP`, `MAX_EXP`, `MIN_10_EXP`, and `MIN_EXP`
  in `consts` module, as well as setting `consts::NAN` to match value of `f32::NAN` converted to
  `f16`. By [@tspiteri].

## [1.3.0] - 2018-10-02 <a name="1.3.0"></a>
### Added
- `slice::from_bits_mut` and `slice::to_bits_mut` for conversion between mutable `u16` and `f16`
  slices. Fixes [#16], by [@johannesvollmer].

## [1.2.0] - 2018-09-03 <a name="1.2.0"></a>
### Added
- `slice` and optional `vec` (only included with `std` feature) modules for conversions between
  `u16` and `f16` buffers. Fixes [#14], by [@johannesvollmer].
- `to_bits` added to replace `as_bits`. Fixes [#12], by [@tspiteri].
### Fixed
- `serde` optional dependency no longer uses its default `std` feature.
### Deprecated
- `as_bits` has been deprecated; use `to_bits` instead.
- `serialize` cargo feature is deprecated; use `serde` instead.

## [1.1.2] - 2018-07-12 <a name="1.1.2"></a>
### Fixed
- Fixed compilation error in 1.1.1 on rustc < 1.27, now compiles again on rustc >= 1.10. Fixes
  [#11].

## [1.1.1] - 2018-06-24 - **Yanked** <a name="1.1.1"></a>
### ***Yanked***
*Not recommended due to introducing compilation error on rustc versions prior to 1.27.*
### Fixed
- Fix subnormal float conversions when `use-intrinsics` is not enabled. By [@Moongoodboy-K].

## [1.1.0] - 2018-03-17 <a name="1.1.0"></a>
### Added
- Made `to_f32` and `to_f64` public. Fixes [#7], by [@PSeitz].

## [1.0.2] - 2018-01-12 <a name="1.0.2"></a>
### Changed
- Update behavior of `is_sign_positive` and `is_sign_negative` to match the IEEE754 conforming
  behavior of the standard library since Rust 1.20.0. Fixes [#3], by [@tspiteri].
- Small optimization on `is_nan` and `is_infinite` from [@tspiteri].
### Fixed
- Fix comparisons of +0 to -0 and comparisons involving negative numbers. Fixes [#2], by
  [@tspiteri].
- Fix loss of sign when converting `f16` and `f32` to `f16`, and case where `f64` NaN could be
  converted to `f16` infinity instead of NaN. Fixes [#5], by [@tspiteri].
