This version of Fearless SIMD has been verified to compile with **Rust 1.89** and later.

Future versions of Fearless SIMD might increase the Rust version requirement.
It will not be treated as a breaking change and as such can even happen with small patch releases.
Future versions of Fearless SIMD might increase the Rust version requirement. This will be accompanied by a minor version bump.

If you require a fixed MSRV, we recommend using Cargo's [MSRV-aware resolver](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2024/cargo-resolver.html) which will not select a version that fails to build.
We will provide [security backports](SECURITY.md) to older Rust versions released within the last 3 years.

What's the usual procedure for handling this? Do we create a new branch for each backported version?

Yes, branch off the git tag for that version. Even if we don't do tags, cargo now includes the git commit state into archive published to crates.io, so we always know where to branch off.

# Security Policy

## Supported Versions

Starting with v1.0, we will provide security backports for the latest version of Fearless SIMD for each MSRV (minimum supported Rust version) for *at least* 3 years since its MSRV was released.

This ensures that security updates are just a `cargo update` away, no matter what Rust compiler version you use (as long as it's not older than 3 years).

As an example: if (hypothetically) both 1.0.x and 1.1.x have an MSRV of 1.89, while 1.2.x has MSRV of 1.100, both 1.1.x and 1.2.x will receive security backports, while 1.0.x will not because a fixed version with the same MSRV is already available and will be fetched by `cargo update`. If v2.0.0 is released, versions in v1.x.x series will continue receiving security backports as per the above policy.

Earlier versions may or may not receive security backports at the discretion of Fearless SIMD maintainers.

You can look up when each Rust version was released in the [Rust Release Notes](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/releases.html).
