How to contribute
-----------------

- Fix a bug or implement a new thing
- Include tests for your new feature, preferably a quickcheck test
- Make a Pull Request

For new features, please first consider filing a PR to `rust-lang/rust <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/>`_,
adding your new feature to the `Iterator` trait of the standard library, if you believe it is reasonable.
If it isn't accepted there, proposing it for inclusion in ``itertools`` is a good idea.
The reason for doing is this is so that we avoid future breakage as with ``.flatten()``.
However, if your feature involves heap allocation, such as storing elements in a ``Vec<T>``,
then it can't be accepted into ``libcore``, and you should propose it for ``itertools`` directly instead.

Recent Changes
--------------

- 0.8.0

  - Added new adaptor ``.map_into()`` for conversions using ``Into`` by @vorner
  - Improved ``Itertools`` docs by @JohnHeitmann
  - The return type of ``.sorted/_by/_by_key()`` is now an iterator, not a Vec.
  - The return type of the ``izip!(x, y)`` macro with exactly two arguments
    is now the usual ``Iterator::zip``.
  - Remove ``.flatten()`` in favour of std's ``.flatten()``
  - Deprecate ``.foreach()`` in favour of std's ``.for_each()``
  - Deprecate ``.step()`` in favour of std's ``.step_by()``
  - Deprecate ``repeat_call`` in favour of std's ``repeat_with``
  - Deprecate ``.fold_while()`` in favour of std's ``.try_fold()``
  - Require Rust 1.24 as minimal version.

- 0.7.11

  - Add convenience methods to ``EitherOrBoth``, making it more similar to ``Option``
    and ``Either`` by @jethrogb

- 0.7.10

  - No changes.

- 0.7.9

  - New inclusion policy: See the readme about suggesting features for std before
    accepting them in itertools.
  - The ``FoldWhile`` type now implements ``Eq`` and ``PartialEq`` by @jturner314

- 0.7.8

  - Add new iterator method ``.tree_fold1()`` which is like ``.fold1()``
    except items are combined in a tree structure (see its docs).
    By @scottmcm
  - Add more ``Debug`` impls by @phimuemue: KMerge, KMergeBy, MergeJoinBy,
    ConsTuples, Intersperse, ProcessResults, RcIter, Tee, TupleWindows, Tee,
    ZipLongest, ZipEq, Zip.

- 0.7.7

  - Add new iterator method ``.into_group_map() -> HashMap<K, Vec<V>>``
    which turns an iterator of ``(K, V)`` elements into such a hash table,
    where values are grouped by key. By @tobz1000
  - Add new free function ``flatten`` for the ``.flatten()`` adaptor.
    **NOTE:** recent Rust nightlies have ``Iterator::flatten`` and thus a clash
    with our flatten adaptor. One workaround is to use the itertools ``flatten``
    free function.

- 0.7.6

  - Add new adaptor ``.multi_cartesian_product()`` which is an n-ary product
    iterator by @tobz1000
  - Add new method ``.sorted_by_key()`` by @Xion
  - Provide simpler and faster ``.count()`` for ``.unique()`` and ``.unique_by()``

- 0.7.5

  - ``.multipeek()`` now implements ``PeekingNext``, by @nicopap.

- 0.7.4

  - Add new adaptor ``.update()`` by @lucasem; this adaptor is used
    to modify an element before passing it on in an iterator chain.

- 0.7.3

  - Add new method ``.collect_tuple()`` by @matklad; it makes a tuple out of
    the iterator's elements if the number of them matches **exactly**.
  - Implement ``fold`` and ``collect`` for ``.map_results()`` which means
    it reuses the code of the standard ``.map()`` for these methods.

- 0.7.2

  - Add new adaptor ``.merge_join_by`` by @srijs; a heterogeneous merge join
    for two ordered sequences.

- 0.7.1

  - Iterator adaptors and iterators in itertools now use the same ``must_use``
    reminder that the standard library adaptors do, by @matematikaedit and @bluss
    *“iterator adaptors are lazy and do nothing unless consumed”*.

- 0.7.0

  - Faster ``izip!()`` by @krdln

    - ``izip!()`` is now a wrapper for repeated regular ``.zip()`` and
      a single ``.map()``. This means it optimizes as well as the standard
      library ``.zip()`` it uses.
      **Note:** ``multizip`` and ``izip!()`` are now different! The former
      has a named type but the latter optimizes better.

  - Faster ``.unique()``

  - ``no_std`` support, which is opt-in!

    - Many lovable features are still there without std, like ``izip!()``
      or ``.format()`` or ``.merge()``, but not those that use collections.

  - Trait bounds were required up front instead of just on the type:
    ``group_by``'s ``PartialEq`` by @Phlosioneer and ``repeat_call``'s
    ``FnMut``.
  - Removed deprecated constructor ``Zip::new`` — use ``izip!()`` or ``multizip()``

- 0.6.5

  - Fix bug in ``.cartesian_product()``'s fold (which only was visible for
    unfused iterators).

- 0.6.4

  - Add specific ``fold`` implementations for ``.cartesian_product()`` and
    ``cons_tuples()``, which improves their performance in fold, foreach, and
    iterator consumers derived from them.

- 0.6.3

  - Add iterator adaptor ``.positions(predicate)`` by @tmccombs

- 0.6.2

  - Add function ``process_results`` which can “lift” a function of the regular
    values of an iterator so that it can process the ``Ok`` values from an
    iterator of ``Results`` instead, by @shepmaster
  - Add iterator method ``.concat()`` which combines all iterator elements
    into a single collection using the ``Extend`` trait, by @srijs

- 0.6.1

  - Better size hint testing and subsequent size hint bugfixes by @rkarp.
    Fixes bugs in product, interleave_shortest size hints.
  - New iterator method ``.all_equal()`` by @phimuemue

- 0.6.0

  - Deprecated names were removed in favour of their replacements
  - ``.flatten()`` does not implement double ended iteration anymore
  - ``.fold_while()`` uses ``&mut self`` and returns ``FoldWhile<T>``, for
    composability (#168)
  - ``.foreach()`` and ``.fold1()`` use ``self``, like ``.fold()`` does.
  - ``.combinations(0)`` now produces a single empty vector. (#174)

- 0.5.10

  - Add itertools method ``.kmerge_by()`` (and corresponding free function)
  - Relaxed trait requirement of ``.kmerge()`` and ``.minmax()`` to PartialOrd.

- 0.5.9

  - Add multipeek method ``.reset_peek()``
  - Add categories

- 0.5.8

  - Add iterator adaptor ``.peeking_take_while()`` and its trait ``PeekingNext``.

- 0.5.7

  - Add iterator adaptor ``.with_position()``
  - Fix multipeek's performance for long peeks by using ``VecDeque``.

- 0.5.6

  - Add ``.map_results()``

- 0.5.5

  - Many more adaptors now implement ``Debug``
  - Add free function constructor ``repeat_n``. ``RepeatN::new`` is now
    deprecated.

- 0.5.4

  - Add infinite generator function ``iterate``, that takes a seed and a
    closure.

- 0.5.3

  - Special-cased ``.fold()`` for flatten and put back. ``.foreach()``
    now uses fold on the iterator, to pick up any iterator specific loop
    implementation.
  - ``.combinations(n)`` asserts up front that ``n != 0``, instead of
    running into an error on the second iterator element.

- 0.5.2

  - Add ``.tuples::<T>()`` that iterates by two, three or four elements at
    a time (where ``T`` is a tuple type).
  - Add ``.tuple_windows::<T>()`` that iterates using a window of the
    two, three or four most recent elements.
  - Add ``.next_tuple::<T>()`` method, that picks the next two, three or four
    elements in one go.
  - ``.interleave()`` now has an accurate size hint.

- 0.5.1

  - Workaround module/function name clash that made racer crash on completing
    itertools. Only internal changes needed.

- 0.5.0

  - `Release announcement <http://bluss.github.io/rust/2016/09/26/itertools-0.5.0/>`_
  - Renamed:

    - combinations is now tuple_combinations
    - combinations_n to combinations
    - group_by_lazy, chunks_lazy to group_by, chunks
    - Unfold::new to unfold()
    - RepeatCall::new to repeat_call()
    - Zip::new to multizip
    - PutBack::new, PutBackN::new to put_back, put_back_n
    - PutBack::with_value is now a builder setter, not a constructor
    - MultiPeek::new, .multipeek() to multipeek()
    - format to format_with and format_default to format
    - .into_rc() to rciter
    - ``Partition`` enum is now ``Either``

  - Module reorganization:

    - All iterator structs are under ``itertools::structs`` but also
      reexported to the top level, for backwards compatibility
    - All free functions are reexported at the root, ``itertools::free`` will
      be removed in the next version

  - Removed:

    - ZipSlices, use .zip() instead
    - .enumerate_from(), ZipTrusted, due to being unstable
    - .mend_slices(), moved to crate odds
    - Stride, StrideMut, moved to crate odds
    - linspace(), moved to crate itertools-num
    - .sort_by(), use .sorted_by()
    - .is_empty_hint(), use .size_hint()
    - .dropn(), use .dropping()
    - .map_fn(), use .map()
    - .slice(), use .take() / .skip()
    - helper traits in misc
    - ``new`` constructors on iterator structs, use Itertools trait or free
      functions instead

      than once.
    - ``repeat_call`` is not double ended anymore

  - New features:

    - tuple flattening iterator is constructible with ``cons_tuples``
    - itertools reexports ``Either`` from the ``either`` crate. ``Either<L, R>``
      is an iterator when ``L, R`` are.

- 0.4.18

  - Only changes related to the "unstable" crate feature. This feature is more
