We'll have a minor backwards incompatibility so we should bump the major version.

@cespare, do you plan to include any other changes in the v2 release?

Oh, I see there's a v2 milestone.

Released.

We'll have a minor backwards incompatibility so we should bump the major version.

as an outsider, this is pretty hard to figure out. https://github.com/cespare/xxhash/releases doesn't have a changelog
i did some spelunking and found #13 (comment) ; is it correct to say that the only breaking change is the rename of the type?

It's not the renaming of the type that's backward-incompatible (since the old name, xxh, wasn't exported anyway). It's just the fact that New changed its signature from New() hash.Hash64 to New() *Digest. And yeah, that was the only breaking change.
