Enable #[deprecated] doc, requires rust 1.9

[dns2utf8]

Rust 1.9 is stable now

[frewsxcv]

Minimum version in the .travis.yml file needs to be bumped.

[dns2utf8]

Ah, you are right. Missed that.

Would you like to release a new version or should we wait until rust 1.9 is deployed more wideley?

I might wait a week or two to merge this PR. I'll add a reminder for myself.

[dns2utf8]

Thank you.

I seem to have borken the build by removing this line from the before_script:

pip install 'travis-cargo<0.2' --user && export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Did it install cargo for the 1.4 build?

travis-cargo is used to automatically generate documentation and deploy it to GitHub pages so I dont think we want to get rid of it.

Yes this would be a very inconvenient change.

Also I enabled the cargo cache with this PR.

Would you like to issue a hint in the README or the CHANGELOG for the new minimal version of the compiler?

Yep sounds good.

[dns2utf8]

Done.

I am currently thinking about the release. I see two views:

• rust 1.4 users: they see a breaking change, so the version should go to 2.0
• rust stable users: they see some new docs and a compiler hint, so the version should go to 1.3.1

Currently there seem to be only two distros providing a package for rust:

• Arch currently 1.8, will be updated very soon so not a problem
• Debian currently 1.8 in testing, 1.9 should land in unstable soon
  • Tracker
  • Packages

I have to rethink what way I would favor. A min-version flag in cargo would solve this problem.

Possibly relevant: there's an RFC for Rust version support policy for rust-lang-nursery crates. The suggested policy is current + last two stable releases. Link: rust-lang/rfcs#1619

Sounds good. I'm not in a rush to merge this. Just moved my alarm to August 19th (the day after Rust 1.11.0 is planned to be released).

[frewsxcv]

1.11.0 is out. This should be good to go now. @dns2utf8 can you rebase?

[dns2utf8]

Thanks for the reminder 😄
Rebased and updated the CHANGES.md

[frewsxcv]

Thanks!
