2.0.0 29 Mar 2022
Release notes
Note: while we intended to be "forever 1.0" to be safe to use in public APIs, we checked our current users and it seemed safe enough to bump major to get the benefits from some breaking changes.

Compatibility
- KString is now a type alias to KStringBase<...> (where ... depends on feature flags)
- serde is no longer a default feature
- std and unsafe are now default features
- MSRV is now 1.59
Features
- Expose StackString
- KString::try_inline to exclusively use StackString
- const fned some functions
- Opt-in forbid(unsafe_code) by removing the default unsafe feature
- Allow configuring the heap string type outside of feature flags
Fixes
- Add #[must_use] everywhere
Performance
- Remove some extra bounds checks
- Speed up clone
