The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce ScyllaDB CPP Rust Driver 0.2.0, an API-compatible rewrite of [GitHub - scylladb/cpp-driver: Scylla C/C++ Driver](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-driver) as a wrapper for the Rust driver. It will fully replace the CPP driver, which is already reaching its End of Life.  
**The current driver version should be considered Alpha**.

Some minor features still need to be included. See _Limitations_ section in README.md.

The underlying Rust driver used version: [0.14.0](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-rust-driver/releases/tag/v0.14.0).

## Changes

**Implemented API functions:**

- **CassFuture:**

- **CassDataType:**

- **CassExecProfile:**

- **CassCluster:**

- **CassStatement:**

- **CassCollection:** ([#143](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/143))

- **Token awareness:** ([#170](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/170))

- **Client’s identity:** ([#167](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/167))

- **Duration CQL type support:** ([#135](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/135))

- **Decimal CQL type support:** ([#146](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/146))

- **Misc:**

**New features / enhancements**

- Adjusted cpp-rust-driver to new serialization framework introduced in rust-driver 0.11.0. ([#138](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/138), [#152](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/152))
- Bumped rust-driver dependency version to 0.14.0. ([#160](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/160))
- Introduced typechecks logic to the driver. ([#143](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/143))

**Bug fixes:**

- Bumped `ntest` dependency version to 0.9.3, so `rust-analyzer` is not confused for functions marked with both `#[tokio::test]` and `#[ntest::timeout()]`. ([#137](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/137))
- Adjusted default default request client timeout according to `cassandra.h` documentation: ([#151](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/151))

**CI / developer tool improvements:**

- Extended cmake file, so now it can build packages next to the regular builds. ([#129](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/129))
- Introduced top-level `Makefile` that can be used to mimic CI behaviour locally. ([#159](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/159), [#174](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/174))
- Enabled tests against multiple Scylla/Cassandra versions in CI. ([#159](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/159), [#168](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/168))
- Fixed clippy lints. ([#145](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/145))
- Fixed an issue that caused some tests against Scylla be unnecessarily skipped. ([#155](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/155))
- Removed some implemented functions from `testing_unimplemented.cpp` ([#161](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/161))
- Fixed and enabled `ConfigTests` suite. ([#163](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/163))
- Added a CI step that updates rust toolchain. ([#175](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/175))
- Adjusted integration tests logic to `scylla-ccm` which does not support `--force` flag for `ccm <node> decommission command`. Enabled the tests fixed due to this change. ([#180](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/180))
- Fixed and enabled `ConsistencyTwoNodeClusterTests` suite. ([#181](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/181))
- Introduced CI workflows responsible for verifying that package builds work as expected. ([#183](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/183))
- Extended CI by `clang-format` checks for integration tests directory (`src`). ([#176](https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-rust-driver/pull/176))
