Make rand-0.5.0-pre.2 release, please?

Hi!

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a rand-0.5.0-pre.2 pre-release made, since… well… my colleagues and I appear to have gotten ourselves into a bit of a mismatched dependency hell. curve25519-dalek-0.17 is about to require rand = "^0.5.0-pre" because we need the impl CryptoRng for OsRng (which was added in #414, after the last pre-release). However, in tor, we're currently pinned to rand-0.5.0-pre.1 because I needed to implement a custom RNG using the rand_core::RngCore trait, which then of course required using 0.5 (and the latest at the time was rand-0.5.0-pre.1).

So, if it's possible and something you're willing to do, getting a new pre-release and putting that into dalek would allow us to do one of our current tasks for using Rust for signing and verification in tor, which would be super rad!

Thanks for all the work you do!

The plan is to release this pre-release very soon actually, and probably the final 0.5 soon after.

In fact @pitdicker if you're happy to merge #411 and rebase #423, I can make a pre-release from that. Doc doesn't need to be in its final form for the pre-release.

I think I'm done in about an hour revising #423.

Done:

• https://crates.io/crates/rand_core/0.2.0-pre.0
• https://crates.io/crates/rand/0.5.0-pre.2

How did you make the release? I don't see a version bump etc. on master yet.

[dhardy]

Sorry, I forgot to push that.

Wow, that was blazingly fast, thanks!

I think it's somewhat coincidence actually 😄
