Compatibility Notes
- Remove compiler-rt linking hack on Android
-
Mitigations for platforms with non-monotonic clocks have been removed from
Instant::now. On platforms that don’t provide monotonic clocks, an instant is not guaranteed to be greater than an earlier instant anymore. -
Instant::{duration_since, elapsed, sub}do not panic anymore on underflow, saturating to0instead. In the real world the panic happened mostly on platforms with buggy monotonic clock implementations rather than catching programming errors like reversing the start and end times. Such programming errors will now result in0rather than a panic. - In a future release we’re planning to increase the baseline requirements for the Linux kernel to version 3.2, and for glibc to version 2.17. We’d love your feedback in PR #95026.
