-- **Breaking change:** adopt the new `Durability` API proposed in [RFC #6]
-    - this replaces and generalizes the existing concepts of constants
-- **Breaking change:** remove "volatile" queries
-    - instead, create a normal query which invokes the
-      `report_untracked_read` method on the salsa runtime
-- introduce "slots", an optimization to salsa's internal workings
-- document `#[salsa::requires]` attribute, which permits private dependencies
-- Adopt `AtomicU64` for `runtimeId` (#182)
-- use `ptr::eq` and `ptr::hash` for readability
-- upgrade parking lot, rand dependencies
