cargo-watch

No code changes this release.

• 📦 You can now install from binary using cargo-binstall on Linux and macOS. Windows support will depend on binstall#37.
• 📜 For servers, the documentation now recommends systemfd over and above catflap.
• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 The project now officially uses Caretaker Maintainership and a blurb about maintenance attitude had also been previously added last year. This may have implications for you, as a user, especially wrt supply chain issues. The commit message has more details.

• Log format (debugs and warnings) changed as part of the upgrade to watchexec 1.14
• WATCHEXEC_* environment variables are not set for subprocesses anymore. I didn't actually intend to have them in the first place, but chime in if you rely on them!
• #152 New --features option to pass the --features flag to a selection of cargo commands that support them. E.g. cargo watch --features feat -x check -x test can now be used instead of cargo watch -x 'check --features feat' -x 'test --features feat'.
• Also fixes a bug where a polling message was shown even when --quiet was given.

• #149: if watched directory didn't contain a .git folder, thread would block (infinite loop)
• Also, #BlackLivesMatter. Closer to home, #ArmsDownNZ (police here wants to arm up, fuck that). Over the pond, #AboriginalLivesMatter. #JunkTerrorBill a bit further away, and spare a thought for Hong Kong, which has been fighting since March last year! I'm not comfortable stating that on Watchexec (which I also maintain and is released concurrently) given it's not, originally, my project, but here I can.

• #147 (pulling in watchexec 1.13): now gitignores in subdirs are also honoured
• #137: MSRV is documented now, as well as the versioning policy when bumping MSRV

• Watchexec 1.12.0
• More documentation on ignore files (e4e13bee30016d5ee2babfe3d7f739fcaee07cc6)
• Bring in --no-ignore support from upstream (#133)
• Bring in --watch-when-idle support from upstream (329aa33f4ddcff5dbb1c291f69c1f7a8d7709025)
• FYI: https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/pull/142 from upstream has improved --ignore handling!

From upstream watchexec: .ignore files are now supported.

• Fixed a crash on error due to an upstream bug.
• Allowed direct invocation without the watch argument, such that all these now do the same: (#114)

$ cargo watch
$ cargo-watch watch
$ cargo-watch # <== NEW!

• Fixed a bug on Windows where the wrong command separator was being used (#113)
• Added exit code to the finish message in windows, similar to unixes.

• No more quotes or escapes for the start/finish messages, fixing #112.
• The start message was brought into Rust code rather than shell, so quoting doesn't affect it anymore! This may help a few other issues (e.g. #107).
• The finish message is printed regardless of whether the command is successful or not.
• On unixes only for now, the exit status is now reported as part of the finish message.
• LTO and codegen optimisations are now enabled for release builds.

• #93 and #110 fixed through the Watchexec 1.10.0 release
