Announcing iceoryx2 0.2.1

Hi Rustaceans,

We are pleased to announce our second release of iceoryx2, version 0.2.1. This inter-process zero-copy framework, crafted entirely in Rust, equips you with tools for efficient communication between multiple processes. iceoryx2 facilitates event transmission across process boundaries, and allows you to send large messages with minimal and consistent latency, regardless of the message size.

Release Highlights:

1. Mac OS Support:

• iceoryx2 now supports Mac OS in addition to Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, providing cross-platform consistency.

1. Expanded Service Support:

• Introduces support services with the same name but different messaging patterns, allowing for greater customization.

1. Lower Rust Version Requirement:

• Reduced the required Rust version to 1.70.0, making iceoryx2 compatible with a wider range of Rust versions.

1. Bug Fixes & Improved Interfaces:

• Various bug fixes and enhanced interfaces for built-in containers, facilitating more efficient zero-copy communication.

Thank you for your continued support!
