Release notes

Binstall is a tool to fetch and install Rust-based executables as binaries. It aims to be a drop-in replacement for cargo install in most cases. Install it today with cargo install cargo-binstall, from the binaries below, or if you already have it, upgrade with cargo binstall cargo-binstall.

In this release:

• We now verify checksum integrity of the crate metadata downloaded from registries (Support checksum verification in registry #1183, feat: Verify cksum of crate tarball from cargo registry #1260)

• Pre-built binaries below now support HTTP/3. When building from source, you can use the http3 feature and the --cfg reqwest_unstable rustflag to opt-in to HTTP/3 support as well. (Enable unstable feature reqwest/http3 in CI #1261)

• We've added out-of-the-box support for more variants of monorepos (Subcrate support for more crates #1244, Fix subcrate resolution for wasm-bindgen-cli #1245)

• We now support passing a workspace to --manifest-path (feat: Support passing workspace to --manifest-path #1246)

  Previously we would load the root Cargo.toml and treat it as the manifest for the crate, which did not work as expected for workspaces.

• We now provide x86_64h-apple-darwin (Intel Haswell architecture tuning) pre-built binaries, for higher performance on macOS! Universal builds are also improved. (feature: Add fallback x86_64h-apple-darwin and fallback for it #1228, CI: Add release build for x86_64h-apple-darwin #1234, ci: Build MacOS universal exe from x86_64h-apple-darwin #1238)

• And of course we support installing binaries for the x86_64h-apple-darwin target. (detect-targets: Add fallback to x86_64-apple-darwin #1233)

• Finally, we have a new, minimal GitHub Action: - uses: cargo-bins/cargo-binstall@main will install the latest cargo-binstall and do nothing else. (Add GitHub Action declaration for installing cargo-binstall #1269, contributed by @smallstepman)

Bugfixes:

• We've fixed issues that resulted in your terminals getting flooded with too many 429 responses. (How many requests are being used to resolve packages‽ (429 Too Many Requests) #1229, Fix too many 429 response #1231, with thanks to @CAD97, @halostatue, and @0atman)
• We are now case-insensitive when reading the CARGO_REGISTRIES_{registry_name}_INDEX environment variables (Fix reading env CARGO_REGISTRIES_{registry_name}_INDEX #1258)
• The installation scripts had a few bugs:
  • On macOS, it would fail if you had the stock bash (New install script compatibility with MacOS GHA runners #1254, Fix installation script on MacOS #1263)
  • It would show a spurious warning if $CARGO_HOME/bin was already in $PATH (Don't show warning if $CARGO_HOME/bin is in $PATH #1239, contributed by @tyilo)
  • It would fail if CARGO_HOME didn't exist (install-from-binstall-release.sh: Fix unbound variable error #1241, contributed by @gifnksm)
