The differences between `no_std` and full `std` are small, -comprising `RngCore` support for `Box<R>` types where `R: RngCore`, as well as -extensions to the `Error` type's functionality. - -Due to [rust-lang/cargo#1596](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/1596), -`rand_core` is built without `std` support by default. Since features are -unioned across the whole dependency tree, any crate using `rand` with its -default features will also enable `std` support in `rand_core`. - -The `serde1` feature can be used to derive `Serialize` and `Deserialize` for RNG -implementations that use the `BlockRng` or `BlockRng64` wrappers. - - -# License - -`rand_core` is distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and the -Apache License (Version 2.0). - -See [LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) and [LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT), and -[COPYRIGHT](COPYRIGHT) for details. |
