Draft a release for 0.7

Edit: 0.7, not 8

[chanced]

I haven't marked a release since 0.4. I should probably go back and do 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 as well.

Somewhat related, I just noticed core::error::Error was stabilised in 1.81, so we should track removing the Error implementations from the std feature flag next time we bump the minimum Rust version.

Yea, I was happy to see that one land. I wasn't sure what the expectation is in regards to min required rust. Do people typically keep up to date? Surely its not as bad as the land of Java (just checked, seems 17 surpassed 11 in 2024).

It really varies a lot. I think ~6mo is probably reasonable lag before bumping the minimum version. Rust is pretty good about backwards compatibility and stability so there's no real reason for people to not upgrade often.
