+# Release rayon-futures 0.1.1 (2019-12-21)
+
+- `Send` bounds have been added for the `Item` and `Error` associated types on
+  all generic `F: Future` interfaces. While technically a breaking change, this
+  is a soundness fix, so we are not increasing the semantic version for this.
+- This crate is now deprecated, and the `--cfg=rayon_unstable` supporting code
+  will be removed in `rayon-core 1.7.0`. This only supported the now-obsolete
+  `Future` from `futures 0.1`, while support for `std::future::Future` is
+  expected to come directly in `rayon-core` -- although that is not ready yet.
+

 # Future integration into Rayon
 
+This crate is now **deprecated**, because it only supports the obsolete
+`futures-0.1`. New integration with `std::future::Future` will likely
+take place directly in `rayon-core`, but this is left to the ... future.
+
 **NOTE:** `rayon-futures` currently requires unstable features of
 `rayon-core`, which may only be enabled with `rustc --cfg`,
 e.g. by setting `RUSTFLAGS=--cfg rayon_unstable` in the environment.
