I'm happy to announce the release of diesel-async 0.9. This release changes how diesel-async expects AsyncConnection::transaction calls to be written, moving from using a closure returning a boxed Future to using proper async closures.

Additionally, this release officially moves the GitHub repository from my personal space to the diesel-rs organization. As I'm one of the maintainers of Diesel, this is mostly a symbolic change.

Finally, this release fixes an unsound cast between a #[repr(C)] struct and the underlying memory as a byte slice. This cast could result in accessing the padding bytes in the struct. This vulnerability was discovered by Paolo Barbolini.

Checkout the full announcement post for more details.

I'm happy to answer questions about anything related to the release or Diesel in general.
