Deprecations

• Deprecate thrust::numeric_limits #3366
• Deprecate thrust::null_type #3367
• Replace CUB_IS_INT128_ENABLED by a CCCL macro and deprecate it
• Extend cuda::std::numeric_limits for __half, __nv_bfloat16, __nv_fp8_e4m3, __nv_fp8_e5m2 and deprecate cub::FpLimits #3349
• Deprecate thrust::optional #3306
• Move CUB agents to internal namespace #3303
• Deprecate CUB iterators which exist in Thrust or libcu++ #3261
• Deprecate thrust::async #100

• [FEA]: Deprecate GridBarrier and GridBarrierLifetime #1389

We should backport those to the 2.8 branch.

API breaking changes

• [BUG]: thrust::transform_iterator<F, ...> is broken if F is not copy_assignable #2393
• Make thrust::discard_iterator's value_type void
• Make thrust::identity::operator() have the same return type as cuda::std::identity::operator()
• [FEA]: ceil_div should return the resulting type of its operation #2845
• Swap order of template parameters of DispatchBatchMemcpy and DispatchReduce so policy hub is last
• Replace boolean parameters of CUB dispatchers by enumerations #3352
• Assert offset type in DispatchScan to be unsigned
• Move all CUB dispatchers into internal namespaces #3094
• Extended floating-point type replacement (TODO: needs more explanation)
• Thrust universal_host_pinned_memory_resource's pointer type should probably be a universial_ptr #2659

ABI breaking changes

• Deprecate and drop old libcu++ ABI namespaces

Behavioral changes

• Unify accumulator type handling across CUB/Thrust
• Unify initial value handling across CUB/Thrust
• Remove multiplication and division nan handling <complex> Enable users to disable normalization for division too. libcudacxx#474 (review)
• Remove ::result_type detection from Thrust result_of_adaptable_function

Cleanup

• [FEA]: Refactor user-facing Thrust types to use libcu++  #34
• Specialize relevant cuda::(std::) types for __half/bfloat16/fp8 #525
• Replace mdspan implementation with one derived from the newer LLVM implementation #3353
• Review and deprecate macros from thrust/thrust/system/cuda/config.h
