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:

• Installing multiple crates in one go is now possible with crate@version syntax, similar to the cargo add command. When that syntax is used, some overriding options like --version and --manifest-path that only make sense in single-crate context are disabled. (Feature: Support specifing versions via crate_name@req #210, Feature: Implement batch installation #216, Refactor: Extract new mod binstall #217, Forbid --manifest-path to used with batch installation #220)
• We now prompt only a single time. We resolve all information needed to proceed, then ask for confirmation, and then install. Previously there could be up to three confirmation prompts. (Refactor: Confirm only once and move all confirmations into entry #209)
• --version 1.2.3 now means --version "=1.2.3". Previously it meant --version "^1.2.3". This was confusing and could result in ambiguity in some cases. The new behaviour aligns more closely with cargo install. This is also the case in the new crate@version syntax. (Feature: Support specifing versions via crate_name@req #210)
• Alternative extensions are tried when { archive-format } is used, so e.g. writing .tar.gz manually in the template URL is no longer required. (Custom extension for format #38, Find best download source out of alternatives (format extension) #236)

Other changes:

• Mimalloc can be chosen to replace the default allocator at build time with the feature mimalloc. This is disabled by default. (Add mimalloc on feature flag #206)
• Smaller binaries with opt-level = "z". (Use opt-level = "z" for release #218)
• Enable static linking of xz2. (Enable feature "static" of dep xz2 & Disable all features of dep zstd  #219)
• Disable unused features of zstd. (Enable feature "static" of dep xz2 & Disable all features of dep zstd  #219)
• We now co-operate with make-style process concurrency handling. (Feature: Implement batch installation #216)
• Many performance optimisations throughout the above and Minor Optimization #221, Refactor: Make appending to metafiles easier and fix their err handling #222.
• Temporary files are now created within the installation path, this helps detect out of space and permission errors earlier. (Fix: Create temp_dir in install_path #225)
• $CARGO_HOME/.crates.toml is no longer modified if --install-path is given, as that's considered a non-global install. We also take a lock on the file like Cargo does. (Fix updating metafiles: Use file lock to fix race condition #227, Fix updating metafiles: Skip on custom install path #228)
• $CARGO_HOME/.crates2.json is no longer written to, as its data content is not adapted to Binstall's. (Remove support for .crates2.json #235)
• The armv7 and aarch64 Linux GNU targets are pre-built for releases again. (Try to reenable armv7, aarch64 gnu targets #231)
• @NobodyXu is now officially our third maintainer! 🎉

I think that's ready to go now

@passcod The CI still needs to be improved though, many tests failed because cargo-binstall =0.11.0 cannot be found.

[passcod]

Yeah, that caused a few issues. I'm fixing the obvious ones now.
