-## Dependencies
-
-By default, this crate depends on nothing but `std` and cannot generate
-[`Uuid`]s. You need to enable the following Cargo features to enable
-various pieces of functionality:
-
-* `v1` - adds the `Uuid::new_v1` function and the ability to create a V1
-  using an implementation of `uuid::v1::ClockSequence` (usually
-`uuid::v1::Context`) and a timestamp from `time::timespec`.
-* `v3` - adds the `Uuid::new_v3` function and the ability to create a V3
-  UUID based on the MD5 hash of some data.
-* `v4` - adds the `Uuid::new_v4` function and the ability to randomly
-  generate a `Uuid`.
-* `v5` - adds the `Uuid::new_v5` function and the ability to create a V5
-  UUID based on the SHA1 hash of some data.
-* `macro-diagnostics` - enhances the diagnostics of `uuid!` macro.
-* `serde` - adds the ability to serialize and deserialize a `Uuid` using the
-  `serde` crate.
-* `arbitrary` - adds an `Arbitrary` trait implementation to `Uuid`.
-* `fast-rng` - when combined with `v4` uses a faster algorithm for generating
-  random UUIDs. This feature requires more dependencies to compile, but is just
-  as suitable for UUIDs as the default algorithm.
-
-You need to enable one of the following Cargo features together with the
-`v4` feature if you're targeting `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target:
-
-* `js` - enables support for randomness on
-  `wasm32-unknown-unknown` via [`getrandom`]
-
-Alternatively, you can provide a custom `getrandom` implementation yourself
-via [`getrandom::register_custom_getrandom`](https://docs.rs/getrandom/0.2.2/getrandom/macro.register_custom_getrandom.html).
-
-### Unstable features
-
-Some features are unstable. They may be incomplete or depend on other unstable libraries.
-These include:
-
-* `zerocopy-unstable` - adds support for zero-copy deserialization using the `zerocopy` library.
-
-Unstable features may break between minor releases.
-
-To allow unstable features, you'll need to enable the Cargo feature as normal, but also pass an additional
-flag through your environment to opt-in to unstable `uuid` features:
-
-```
-RUSTFLAGS="--cfg uuid_unstable"
-```
