CHANGELOG.mdentrySummary
rand::thread_rng()→rand::rng()thread_rng()andrandom()from the preludeMotivation
Make this frequently used function easier to type. The "thread-local" part is a design decision which does not (usually) need to be considered during usage, and thus should not be part of the name. See #989.
Details
ThreadRngis not renamed since thread-locality is a key part of its identity, and it is less commonly used directly. Also, the namerand::Rngis already taken.
