## 0.8.2
  - Use `slice::iter` instead of `into_iter` to avoid future breakage (#378, by @LukasKalbertodt)
## 0.8.1
  - Added a [`.exactly_one()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.exactly_one) iterator method that, on success, extracts the single value of an iterator ; by @Xaeroxe
  - Added combinatory iterator adaptors:
    - [`.permutations(k)`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.permutations):

      `[0, 1, 2].iter().permutations(2)` yields

      ```rust
      [
        vec![0, 1],
        vec![0, 2],
        vec![1, 0],
        vec![1, 2],
        vec![2, 0],
        vec![2, 1],
      ]
      ```

      ; by @tobz1000

    - [`.combinations_with_replacement(k)`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.combinations_with_replacement):

      `[0, 1, 2].iter().combinations_with_replacement(2)` yields

      ```rust
      [
        vec![0, 0],
        vec![0, 1],
        vec![0, 2],
        vec![1, 1],
        vec![1, 2],
        vec![2, 2],
      ]
      ```

      ; by @tommilligan

    - For reference, these methods join the already existing [`.combinations(k)`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.combinations):

      `[0, 1, 2].iter().combinations(2)` yields

      ```rust
      [
        vec![0, 1],
        vec![0, 2],
        vec![1, 2],
      ]
      ```

  - Improved the performance of [`.fold()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.fold)-based internal iteration for the [`.intersperse()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.intersperse) iterator ; by @jswrenn
  - Added [`.dedup_by()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.dedup_by), [`.merge_by()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.merge_by) and [`.kmerge_by()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.kmerge_by) adaptors that work like [`.dedup()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.dedup), [`.merge()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.merge) and [`.kmerge()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.kmerge), but taking an additional custom comparison closure parameter. ; by @phimuemue
  - Improved the performance of [`.all_equal()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.all_equal) ; by @fyrchik
  - Loosened the bounds on [`.partition_map()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.partition_map) to take just a `FnMut` closure rather than a `Fn` closure, and made its implementation use internal iteration for better performance ; by @danielhenrymantilla
  - Added convenience methods to [`EitherOrBoth`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/enum.EitherOrBoth.html) elements yielded from the [`.zip_longest()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.zip_longest) iterator adaptor ; by @Avi-D-coder
  - Added [`.sum1()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.sum1) and [`.product1()`](https://docs.rs/itertools/0.8.1/itertools/trait.Itertools.html#method.product1) iterator methods that respectively try to return the sum and the product of the elements of an iterator **when it is not empty**, otherwise they return `None` ; by @Emerentius
## 0.8.0
  - Added new adaptor `.map_into()` for conversions using `Into` by @vorner
  - Improved `Itertools` docs by @JohnHeitmann
  - The return type of `.sorted_by_by_key()` is now an iterator, not a Vec.
  - The return type of the `izip!(x, y)` macro with exactly two arguments is now the usual `Iterator::zip`.
  - Remove `.flatten()` in favour of std's `.flatten()`
  - Deprecate `.foreach()` in favour of std's `.for_each()`
  - Deprecate `.step()` in favour of std's `.step_by()`
  - Deprecate `repeat_call` in favour of std's `repeat_with`
  - Deprecate `.fold_while()` in favour of std's `.try_fold()`
  - Require Rust 1.24 as minimal version.
## 0.7.11
  - Add convenience methods to `EitherOrBoth`, making it more similar to `Option` and `Either` by @jethrogb
## 0.7.10
  - No changes.
## 0.7.9
  - New inclusion policy: See the readme about suggesting features for std before accepting them in itertools.
  - The `FoldWhile` type now implements `Eq` and `PartialEq` by @jturner314
## 0.7.8
  - Add new iterator method `.tree_fold1()` which is like `.fold1()` except items are combined in a tree structure (see its docs). By @scottmcm
  - Add more `Debug` impls by @phimuemue: KMerge, KMergeBy, MergeJoinBy, ConsTuples, Intersperse, ProcessResults, RcIter, Tee, TupleWindows, Tee, ZipLongest, ZipEq, Zip.
## 0.7.7
  - Add new iterator method `.into_group_map() -> HashMap<K, Vec<V>>` which turns an iterator of `(K, V)` elements into such a hash table, where values are grouped by key. By @tobz1000
  - Add new free function `flatten` for the `.flatten()` adaptor. **NOTE:** recent Rust nightlies have `Iterator::flatten` and thus a clash with our flatten adaptor. One workaround is to use the itertools `flatten` free function.
## 0.7.6
  - Add new adaptor `.multi_cartesian_product()` which is an n-ary product iterator by @tobz1000
  - Add new method `.sorted_by_key()` by @Xion
  - Provide simpler and faster `.count()` for `.unique()` and `.unique_by()`
## 0.7.5
  - `.multipeek()` now implements `PeekingNext`, by @nicopap.
## 0.7.4
  - Add new adaptor `.update()` by @lucasem; this adaptor is used to modify an element before passing it on in an iterator chain.
## 0.7.3
  - Add new method `.collect_tuple()` by @matklad; it makes a tuple out of the iterator's elements if the number of them matches **exactly**.
  - Implement `fold` and `collect` for `.map_results()` which means it reuses the code of the standard `.map()` for these methods.
## 0.7.2
  - Add new adaptor `.merge_join_by` by @srijs; a heterogeneous merge join for two ordered sequences.
## 0.7.1
  - Iterator adaptors and iterators in itertools now use the same `must_use` reminder that the standard library adaptors do, by @matematikaedit and @bluss *“iterator adaptors are lazy and do nothing unless consumed”*.
## 0.7.0
  - Faster `izip!()` by @krdln
    - `izip!()` is now a wrapper for repeated regular `.zip()` and a single `.map()`. This means it optimizes as well as the standard library `.zip()` it uses. **Note:** `multizip` and `izip!()` are now different! The former has a named type but the latter optimizes better.
  - Faster `.unique()`
  - `no_std` support, which is opt-in!
    - Many lovable features are still there without std, like `izip!()` or `.format()` or `.merge()`, but not those that use collections.
  - Trait bounds were required up front instead of just on the type: `group_by`'s `PartialEq` by @Phlosioneer and `repeat_call`'s `FnMut`.
  - Removed deprecated constructor `Zip::new` — use `izip!()` or `multizip()`
## 0.6.5
  - Fix bug in `.cartesian_product()`'s fold (which only was visible for unfused iterators).
## 0.6.4
  - Add specific `fold` implementations for `.cartesian_product()` and `cons_tuples()`, which improves their performance in fold, foreach, and iterator consumers derived from them.
## 0.6.3
  - Add iterator adaptor `.positions(predicate)` by @tmccombs
## 0.6.2
  - Add function `process_results` which can “lift” a function of the regular values of an iterator so that it can process the `Ok` values from an iterator of `Results` instead, by @shepmaster
  - Add iterator method `.concat()` which combines all iterator elements into a single collection using the `Extend` trait, by @srijs
## 0.6.1
  - Better size hint testing and subsequent size hint bugfixes by @rkarp. Fixes bugs in product, `interleave_shortest` size hints.
  - New iterator method `.all_equal()` by @phimuemue
## 0.6.0
  - Deprecated names were removed in favour of their replacements
  - `.flatten()` does not implement double ended iteration anymore
  - `.fold_while()` uses `&mut self` and returns `FoldWhile<T>`, for composability #168
  - `.foreach()` and `.fold1()` use `self`, like `.fold()` does.
  - `.combinations(0)` now produces a single empty vector. #174
## 0.5.10
  - Add itertools method `.kmerge_by()` (and corresponding free function)
  - Relaxed trait requirement of `.kmerge()` and `.minmax()` to PartialOrd.
## 0.5.9
  - Add multipeek method `.reset_peek()`
  - Add categories
## 0.5.8
  - Add iterator adaptor `.peeking_take_while()` and its trait `PeekingNext`.
## 0.5.7
  - Add iterator adaptor `.with_position()`
  - Fix multipeek's performance for long peeks by using `VecDeque`.
## 0.5.6
  - Add `.map_results()`
## 0.5.5
  - Many more adaptors now implement `Debug`
  - Add free function constructor `repeat_n`. `RepeatN::new` is now deprecated.
## 0.5.4
  - Add infinite generator function `iterate`, that takes a seed and a closure.
## 0.5.3
  - Special-cased `.fold()` for flatten and put back. `.foreach()` now uses fold on the iterator, to pick up any iterator specific loop implementation.
  - `.combinations(n)` asserts up front that `n != 0`, instead of running into an error on the second iterator element.
## 0.5.2
  - Add `.tuples::<T>()` that iterates by two, three or four elements at a time (where `T` is a tuple type).
  - Add `.tuple_windows::<T>()` that iterates using a window of the two, three or four most recent elements.
  - Add `.next_tuple::<T>()` method, that picks the next two, three or four elements in one go.
  - `.interleave()` now has an accurate size hint.
## 0.5.1
  - Workaround module/function name clash that made racer crash on completing itertools. Only internal changes needed.
## 0.5.0
