 - Enable the `std` feature by default. (#409)
 - Change `BlockRng64::inner` and add `BlockRng64::inner_mut` to mirror `BlockRng`. (#419)
 - Add `BlockRng{64}::index` and `BlockRng{64}::generate_and_set`. (#374, #419)
+- Add `AsMut<[Self::Item]>` bound to `BlockRngCore::Results` (future-proofing). (#419)
