+#### Error Scopes are now thread-local
+
+Device error scopes now operate on a per-thread basis. This allows them to be used easily within multithreaded contexts,
+without having the error scope capture errors from other threads.
+
+When the `std` feature is **not** enabled, we have no way to differentiate between threads, so error scopes return to be
+global operations.
