Nightly

Not recommended for stable use

Binaries built nightly from the development branch. Features may be experimental and removed without warning.

v2.0.1

This is a maintenance release to fix some issues detected in 2.0.

Notable Fixes

• Using alr config and ALR_CONFIG is a warning and not an error (until 3.0) (#1640)
• msys2 installer updated to the latest version (#1648)
• Fix installation of binary crates containing softlinks (#1653)

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.0.1

v2.0.0

Major new features and breaking changes

• alr install allows to install indexed or local crates under a prefix with standard gprinstall structure (under ~/.alire by default).
• By default now, dependencies are downloaded once to a shared cache, and a unique build folder is used for each release configuration, also shared across workspaces.
• alr test by default now tests the local workspace.
• alr publish will offer to create for you the PR against the community index.
• New switches alr publish --status|--cancel|--request-review allow complete management of release submissions from the command line.
• alr settings replaces alr config to avoid confusion between alr's own configuration and a crate configuration.
• ALIRE_SETTINGS_DIR replaces ALR_CONFIG environment variable.
• alr toolchain --install --install-dir removed (read more at #1614), you can still install toolchains for use outside of Alire with alr install.
