# random-rs

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/elichai/random-rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/elichai/random-rs)

[![Build Status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/j6lo8inj8qp0xxgu?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/elichai/random-rs)

This repository is highly inspired by the [rand](http://crates.io/crates/rand) crate.

But it plans to give something a bit different. this is meant to give a very minimalistic random generation with as little crates + code as possible.

And keep backwards compatibily for as long as possible.

## Rust version requirements

`random-rs` is currently tested against rust 1.13.0. it might also support older compilers, but no promises.

The plan is to keep supporting 1.13 as long as possible, in a case where a bump will be needed it will be accompanied by a major version bump.

## Crates
