About package
--------------
>Mir-Random [1] is a random number generator library that covers
>C++ STL [2]. It is compatible with mir.ndslice, std.algorithm,
>and std.range. In the same time mir.random has its own API,
>which is more secure and safe compared with std.random.
Release v0.2.8
--------------
Additions:
- Added xorshift1024*φ and xoroshiro128+ generators [3]
(mir.random.engine.xorshift : Xorshift1024StarPhi,
Xoroshiro128Plus)
- Mt19937 and Mt19937_64 can be seeded from array or ndslice
- mir.random.engine.preferHighBits!T to query new optional enum
bool preferHighBits
Improvements:
- When the high bits of a PRNG's output are known to have better
statistical properties than the low bits, use high bits when not
all bits of output are required.
- On macOS, OpenBSD, and NetBSD, use arc4random_buf [4] in
unpredictableSeed and genRandomNonBlocking.
Bugfixes:
- Fix isSaturatedRandomEngine!T not working when T.opCall is a
function template.
- Fix address-based increment for PCGs in unique_stream mode.
- Incorporated upstream fix for seeding a MCG with a seed that's
a multiple of the modulus.
