2025-04-13	std: eradicate u29 and embrace std.mem.Alignment	Andrew Kelley

2025-01-16	all: update to `std.builtin.Type.{Pointer,Array,StructField}` field renames	mlugg

2024-08-28	std: update `std.builtin.Type` fields to follow naming conventions	mlugg
	The compiler actually doesn't need any functional changes for this: Sema does reification based on the tag indices of `std.builtin.Type` already! So, no zig1.wasm update is necessary. This change is necessary to disallow name clashes between fields and decls on a type, which is a prerequisite of #9938.
2024-03-21	std: promote tests to doctests	Andrew Kelley
	Now these show up as "example usage" in generated documentation.
2024-03-11	std.builtin: make container layout fields lowercase	Tristan Ross

2024-01-09	AstGen: add error for redundant comptime var in comptime scope (#18242)	Bogdan Romanyuk

2023-12-08	AstGen: add error for using inline loops in comptime only scopes	Veikka Tuominen

2023-06-24	all: migrate code to new cast builtin syntax	mlugg
	Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix: * `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten * `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors * Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
2023-06-19	all: zig fmt and rename "@XToY" to "@YFromX"	Eric Joldasov
	Signed-off-by: Eric Joldasov <bratishkaerik@getgoogleoff.me>
2023-06-17	mem: rename alignGeneric to mem.align	Motiejus Jakštys
	Anecdote 1: The generic version is way more popular than the non-generic one in Zig codebase: git grep -w alignForward \| wc -l 56 git grep -w alignForwardGeneric \| wc -l 149 git grep -w alignBackward \| wc -l 6 git grep -w alignBackwardGeneric \| wc -l 15 Anecdote 2: In my project (turbonss) that does much arithmetic and alignment I exclusively use the Generic functions. Anecdote 3: we used only the Generic versions in the Macho Man's linker workshop.
2023-02-18	update std lib and compiler sources to new for loop syntax	Andrew Kelley

2022-12-17	std.builtin: rename Type.UnionField and Type.StructField's field_type to type	r00ster91

2022-11-29	std.mem.Allocator: allow shrink to fail	Andrew Kelley
	closes #13535
2022-05-04	std.meta.TrailerFlags: improve init type	Erik Arvstedt

2022-05-04	std.meta.TrailerFlags: include in std tests	Erik Arvstedt
	Previously, TrailerFlags was unreferenced in std, so its tests were never run. Also, fix the use of `default_value` whose type was changed in f4a249325e8e3741a6294462ae37a79cb9089c56 (#10766).
2022-03-08	deprecated TypeInfo in favor of Type	Jonathan Marler
	Co-authored-by: Veikka Tuominen <git@vexu.eu>
2021-08-24	remove redundant license headers from zig standard library	Andrew Kelley
	We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single file. Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with their own license that required annual payments to their company. However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.

2021-06-21	fix code broken from previous commit	Jacob G-W

2021-05-08	std: update usage of std.testing	Veikka Tuominen

2021-01-30	Replace @TagType uses, mostly with std.meta.Tag	Tadeo Kondrak

2021-01-01	std: loop in trailer flags can be indexing operation	daurnimator

2021-01-01	std: use FieldEnum from TrailerFlags	daurnimator

2020-12-31	Year++	Frank Denis

2020-10-17	Make std.meta.Int accept a signedness parameter	Jan Prudil

2020-10-01	Add alignment field to TypeInfo.UnionField and TypeInfo.StructField	Tadeo Kondrak
	Closes https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/6122
2020-09-02	builtin: Add TypeInfo.StructField.is_comptime	Tadeo Kondrak

2020-08-27	std.meta.TrailerFlags fixes	Tadeo Kondrak

2020-08-27	std.meta.TrailerFlags: use @Type to improve API	Tadeo Kondrak
	- Use an enum of all field names instead of string literals - Create a struct type with all fields optional instead of relying on anonymous struct literals This should provide better type inference, compile errors, and a (subjectively) cleaner API.
2020-08-20	add license header to all std lib files	Andrew Kelley
	add SPDX license identifier copyright ownership is zig contributors
2020-07-15	TrailerFlags test: fix bad alignment assumption on 32-bit	Andrew Kelley

2020-07-15	stage2: VarDecl and FnProto take advantage of TrailerFlags API	Andrew Kelley
	These AST nodes now have a flags field and then a bunch of optional trailing objects. The end result is lower memory usage and consequently better performance. This is part of an ongoing effort to reduce the amount of memory parsed ASTs take up. Running `zig fmt` on the std lib: * cache-misses: 2,554,321 => 2,534,745 * instructions: 3,293,220,119 => 3,302,479,874 * peak memory: 74.0 MiB => 73.0 MiB Holding the entire std lib AST in memory at the same time: 93.9 MiB => 88.5 MiB
2020-07-14	add std.meta.TrailerFlags API	Andrew Kelley
	This is useful for saving memory when allocating an object that has many optional components. The optional objects are allocated sequentially in memory, and a single integer is used to represent each optional object and whether it is present based on each corresponding bit.
