- probe-run screwed up the last release 2 weeks ago and it's still not fixed (issue 391). Doesn't look well maintained.
- Even when it's not broken, it lags behind probe-rs-cli in new chips support because it's slow in updating probe-rs.
inline assembly is supported since rust 1.59, we're way past that.
enabling this makes the compiled code more compact, and on rp2040
even decreses memory usage by not needing thunks in sram.
This introduces a `Pender` struct with enum cases for thread-mode, interrupt-mode and
custom callback executors. This avoids calls through function pointers when using only
the thread or interrupt executors. Faster, and friendlier to `cargo-call-stack`.
`embassy-executor` now has `arch-xxx` Cargo features to select the arch and to enable
the builtin executors (thread and interrupt).
- Allows classes to handle vendor requests.
- Allows classes to use a single handler for multiple interfaces.
- Allows classes to access the other events (previously only `reset` was available).
It was only useful for doing #[embassy_executor::main(config = "config()")]`. Now that
it's gone, it makes more sense to build the config in main directly.
It currently contains whoever was first to write some code for the crate,
even if many more people have contributed to it later.
The field is "sort of" deprecated, it was made optional recently:

Due the the reasons listed there I believe removing it is better than
setting it to generic fluff like "The Embassy contributors".
I've renamed the channel module for the MPMC as mpmc. There was a previous debate about this, but I feel that the strategy here avoids importing `channel::channel`. The change leaves `signal::Signal`, but I think that's ok. It is all a bit subjective of course. The bottom line for me is that I really like the term mpmc - it means something to me and aligns with broader naming e.g. in Tokio.
