1.2.1

This patch release removes more unnecessary uses of unsafe that were overlooked in the prior 1.2.0 release. In particular, the ReadBytesExt::read_{f32,f64}_into_checked methods have been deprecated and replaced by more appropriately named read_{f32,f64}_into methods.

1.2.0

The most prominent change in this release of byteorder is the removal of unnecessary signaling NaN masking, and in turn, the unsafe annotations associated with methods that didn't do masking. See #103 for more details.

• BUG #102: Fix big endian tests.
• BUG #103: Remove sNaN masking.
