New release/sync from master

[bbaldino]

Yesterday I ran into an issue where environment variable overrides weren't working correctly and I realized it's because of this line which does a case-sensitive comparison when looking for a variant constructor, but even changing the capitalization of the environment variable doesn't fix it because they get lower-cased in env.rs. I notice that master has a fix for this to be case insensitive but it looks like the release-0.13.x branch peeled off from master a long time ago (the change was made in master 2 years ago). Are there plans to sync with master and bring in this fix before doing another release?

I think maintenance is rather low for config-rs lately.

• I have some PRs that I still need to wrap up myself (and hoping to finally have time for this month).
• I don't have the time to commit as a maintainer of the project myself, and it doesn't seem like there is anyone else coming forward to actively maintain the project.
• You'll possibly have to submit a PR with any changes you want into master. I imagine a new release will happen after my PRs are merged.

Alternatively, you may want to look into other crates with similar functionality that are more active in development / maintenance? (unless I'm mistaken with the current state of maintenance).

Thanks for the response. The fix I'm looking for is in master, but I guess the PR would be porting it over to the release-013.x branch, which I do think would be pretty simple...but I guess the question is if that's worthwhile. It also makes me wonder what other fixes are in master that haven't been brought over, I suppose.

Maintenance is very passive, that is true yes. But I am not against releasing a new version, I am just very conservative 😄 especially since some PRs have really long discussions on them and I fail to conclude them for myself 😢

Thanks @matthiasbeyer !

Sure thing!

Just make sure to submit bug reports (or even better: Fixes) for everything you might hit! ❤️
