Rooster v2.0.0

Known to compile with Rust 1.5.0 and Cargo 0.7.0.

If you are already using Rooster

If you are using Rooster v1, make sure you backup your Rooster file before upgrading. We did our best ensuring the upgrade path was simple and reliable, but bugs happen. Better safe than sorry.

Step by step upgrade instructions:

• remove your old Rooster binary, most likely /usr/local/bin/rooster,
• backup your existing Rooster file (seriously!),
• install Rooster v2 by running the command cargo install rooster in your terminal.

This should be enough. Now, you should be able to use Rooster as usual.

If you are new to Rooster

Step by step installation instructions:

• install Rust & Cargo,
• install Rooster v2 by running the command cargo install rooster in your terminal.

Use rooster --help in your terminal to see what Rooster can do.
