New release on crates.io

[x-hgg-x]

Hello, can you make a new release on crates.io which includes the fix for #28 ?

[Shnatsel]

@aldanor could you publish a new release of fast-float to crates.io with the fix for #28?

I understand the fix is already merged and you just need to cargo publish.

+1 on a new release please @aldanor .

It's been more than 4 years since 0.2.0 was released and there are still pending unreleased fixes.

Would there be interest in me forking this and maintaining it as fast-float2? I'm the external contributor I believe who has done the most work on this and it seems this is no longer maintained, so I could merge the pending PRs and issue fixes and draft additional releases.

Ideally, users could just migrate to Rust std library implementation but for partial float parsing, that would be a nice alternative.

This has been forked @jqnatividad to fast-float2. It currently has no changes other than a migration to 0.2.1 and the patches mentioned here. I'll add additional patches for the unsoundness soon. I'll submit a PR to rustsec about this and potentially detach my fork in the future.

Thanks @Alexhuszagh ! This crate is widely used by other high-visibility crates like polars.

Thanks for stepping up!

I need to do a few security soundness patches related to #37 which should be relatively trivial to implement just to ensure local safety invariants are met.
