V2.0.0-alpha.2

Breaking:

• All decode_from_slice functions now also return the number of bytes read #445
• Bincode-derive now auto-implements T: Encode when implementing #[derive(Encode)] (same for Decode/DecodeBorrowed)
  • See #451 for more information

Config integer limit

Bincode now supports size limits again. Size limits can be configured as followed:

let config = Configuration::standard() // or ::legacy()
    .with_limit::<10000>();
