Crossbeam Channel

This crate provides multi-producer multi-consumer channels for message passing. It is an alternative to std::sync::mpsc with more features and better performance.

Some highlights:

Senders and Receivers can be cloned and shared among threads.
Two main kinds of channels are bounded and unbounded.
Convenient extra channels like after, never, and tick.
The select! macro can block on multiple channel operations.
Select can select over a dynamically built list of channel operations.
Channels use locks very sparingly for maximum performance.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
crossbeam-channel = "0.5"

Compatibility

Crossbeam Channel supports stable Rust releases going back at least six months, and every time the minimum supported Rust version is increased, a new minor version is released. Currently, the minimum supported Rust version is 1.60.
