Stabilizing to 1.0.0

This release finally stabilizes the API and library status to 1.0.0. No API changes occurred since 0.0.3.

Changelog:

• minor corrections in documentation

Better std API integration, small changes to EF

Changelog:

• bit vectors implement iterators now
• all iterators also implement ExactSizeIterator
• all iterators also implement FusedIterator
• fixed panic in empty iterators
• Breaking: renamed Elias-Fano pred to predecessor_unchecked and analogous for succ
• changed behavior of Elias-Fano pred and succ to be more rusty: Options instead of sentinel values are returned
• added get_bits method to rs-vectors as well

finalizing before 1.0

Changelog:

• Elias-Fano implements an Iterator
• Elias-Fano implements succ now, analogous to pred
• Breaking: downgraded the constructor for Elias Fano to accepting slices, since there is no reason to limit it to Vec
• Breaking: renamed a bunch of functions to be more in line with Rust naming conventions
• Breaking: deleted obsolete builder interface for RsVec, since BitVec can be used for that with more features
• Range Minimum Query structures implement Deref to expose their underlying Vec
• functions validate inputs
• Breaking: added checked versions to most functions, unchecked functions got renamed
• added convenience functions where applicable
• added examples to documentation
• fixed two bugs in BitVec that happened when truncating and appending data

0.1.0 - initial release

• static bit-vectors with and without constant-time rank and expected constant-time select
• elias fano coding of monotone sequences with expected constant time predecessor queries
• range minimum queries in constant time
