This release of ndarray-rand adds compatibility for the new ArrayRef type in ndarray 0.17. It adds the the new RandomRefExt trait, providing sample_axis and sample_axis_using methods on ArrayRef.

This release also bumps the requirements for rand to 0.9.0 and for rand_distr to 0.5.0.

New features

• Support inserting new axes while slicing by [@jturner314]. This is an example:

  let view = arr.slice(s![.., -1, 2..;-1, NewAxis]);
  

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/570

• Support two-sided broadcasting in arithmetic operations with arrays by [@SparrowLii]

  This now allows, for example, addition of a 3 x 1 with a 1 x 3 array; the operands are in this case broadcast to 3 x 3 which is the shape of the result.

  Note that this means that a new trait bound is required in some places when mixing dimensionality types of arrays in arithmetic operations.

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/898

• Support for compiling ndarray as no_std (using core and alloc) by [@xd009642] and [@bluss]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/861 <br> https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/889

• New methods .cell_view() and ArrayViewMut::into_cell_view that enable new ways of working with array elements as if they were in Cells - setting elements through shared views and broadcast views, by [@bluss].

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/877

• New methods slice_each_axis/_mut/_inplace that make it easier to slice a dynamic number of axes in some situations, by [@jturner314]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/913

• New method a.assign_to(b) with the inverse argument order compared to the existing b.assign(a) and some extra features like assigning into uninitialized arrays, By [@bluss].

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/947

• New methods .std() and .var() for standard deviation and variance by [@kdubovikov]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/790

Enhancements

• Ndarray can now correctly determine that arrays can be contiguous, even if they have negative strides, by [@SparrowLii]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/885 <br> https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/948

• Improvements to map_inplace by [@jturner314]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/911

• .into_dimensionality performance was improved for the IxDyn to IxDyn case by [@bluss]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/906

• Improved performance for scalar + &array and &array + scalar operations by [@jturner314]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/890

API changes

• New constructors Array::from_iter and Array::from_vec by [@bluss]. No new functionality, just that these constructors are available without trait imports.

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/921

• NdProducer::raw_dim is now a documented method by [@jturner314]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/918

• AxisDescription is now a struct with field names, not a tuple struct by [@jturner314]. Its accessor methods are now deprecated.

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/915

• Methods for array comparison abs_diff_eq and relative_eq are now exposed as inherent methods too (no trait import needed), still under the approx feature flag by [@bluss]

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/946

• Changes to the slicing-related types and macro by [@jturner314] and [@bluss]:

  • Remove the Dimension::SliceArg associated type, and add a new SliceArg trait for this purpose.
  • Change the return type of the s![] macro to an owned SliceInfo rather than a reference.
  • Replace the SliceOrIndex enum with SliceInfoElem, which has an additional NewAxis variant and does not have a step_by method.
  • Change the type parameters of SliceInfo in order to support the NewAxis functionality and remove some tricky unsafe code.
  • Mark the SliceInfo::new method as unsafe. The new implementations of TryFrom can be used as a safe alternative.
  • Remove the AsRef<SliceInfo<[SliceOrIndex], D>> for SliceInfo<T, D> implementation. Add the similar From<&'a SliceInfo<T, Din, Dout>> for SliceInfo<&'a [SliceInfoElem], Din, Dout> conversion as an alternative.
  • Change the expr ; step case in the s![] macro to error at compile time if an unsupported type for expr is used, instead of panicking at runtime.

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/872

• Renamed Zip methods by [@bluss] and [@SparrowLii]:

  • apply -> for_each
  • apply_collect -> map_collect
  • apply_collect_into -> map_collect_into
  • (par_ prefixed methods renamed accordingly)

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/894 <br> https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/904 <br>

• Deprecate Array::uninitialized and revamped its replacement by [@bluss]

  Please use new new Array::uninit which is based on MaybeUninit (renamed from Array::maybe_uninit, the old name is also deprecated).

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/902 <br> https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/876

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/570

Other changes

• It was changed how we integrate with BLAS and blas-src. Users of BLAS need to read the README for the updated instructions. Ndarray itself no longer has public dependency on blas-src. Changes by [@bluss].

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/891 <br> https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/951

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/887

New features

• Zip::apply_collect and Zip::par_apply_collect now support all elements (not just Copy elements) by [@bluss] https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/814
  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/817

• New function stack by [@andrei-papou]
  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/844
  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/850

Enhancements

• Handle inhomogeneous shape inputs better in Zip, in practice: guess better whether to prefer c- or f-order for the inner loop by [@bluss] https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/809

• Improve code sharing in some commonly used code by [@bluss] https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/819

API changes

• The old function stack has been renamed to concatenate. A new function stack with numpy-like semantics have taken its place. Old usages of stack should change to use concatenate.

  concatenate produces an array with the same number of axes as the inputs.
  stack produces an array that has one more axis than the inputs.

  This change was unfortunately done without a deprecation period, due to the long period between releases.

  https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/pull/844

Release announcement

• Allow combined slicing and subviews in a single operation by @jturner314 and @bluss

  • Add support for individual indices (to indicate subviews) to the s![] macro, and change the return type to &SliceInfo<[SliceOrIndex; n], Do>.
  • Change the argument type of the slicing methods to correspond to the new s![] macro.
  • Replace the Si type with SliceOrIndex.
  • Add a new Slice type that is similar to the old Si type.

• Add support for more index types (e.g. usize) to the s![] macro by @jturner314

• Rename .islice() to .slice_inplace() by @jturner314

• Rename .isubview() to .subview_inplace() by @jturner314

• Add .slice_move(), .slice_axis(), .slice_axis_mut(), and .slice_axis_inplace() methods by @jturner314

• Add Dimension::NDIM associated constant by @jturner314

• Change trait bounds for arithmetic ops between an array (by value) and a reference to an array or array view (“array1 (op) &array2”); before, an ArrayViewMut was supported on the left hand side, now, the left hand side must not be a view. (#380) by @jturner314

• Remove deprecated methods (.whole_chunks(), .whole_chunks_mut(), .sum(), and .mean(); replaced by .exact_chunks(), .exact_chunks_mut(), .sum_axis(), and .mean_axis(), respectively) by @bluss

• Updated to the latest blas (optional) dependencies. See instructions in the README.

• Minimum required Rust version is 1.22.
