Migrating from v1.0.x to v2.0.0

Migrating a project from RTIC v1.0.x to v2.0.0 involves the following steps:

1. v2.1.0 works on Rust Stable from 1.75 (recommended), while older versions require a nightly compiler via the use of #![type_alias_impl_trait].
2. Migrating from the monotonics included in v1.0.x to rtic-time and rtic-monotonics, replacing spawn_after, spawn_at.
3. Software tasks are now required to be async, and using them correctly.
4. Understanding and using data types provided by rtic-sync.

For a detailed description of the changes, refer to the subchapters.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

1. Instead of spawn_after and spawn_at, you now use the async functions delay, delay_until (and related) with impls provided by rtic-monotonics.
2. Software tasks must be async fns now. Not returning from a task is allowed so long as there is an await in the task. You can still lock shared resources.
3. Use rtic_sync::arbiter::Arbiter to await access to a shared resource, and rtic_sync::channel::Channel to communicate between tasks instead of spawn-ing new ones.
