[bug] missing field version - should not report

[1oglop1]

Hi I have a Cargo.toml file without version and machete is failing
with

  |
1 | [package]
  | ^^^^^^^^^
missing field `version`

However, the version field is optional and has been for some time already.

Thanks for opening an issue, it might be one of the dependencies used for parsing that's responsible of that. Would you be interested in solving this with a pull request?

I am not really a Rust magician, but it looks like you have pointed in the right direction:

https://gitlab.com/lib.rs/cargo_toml/-/blob/main/src/cargo_toml.rs?ref_type=heads#L1540-1545

I will try to open an issue there and see if anything comes out of it.

cargo_toml supports optional version, but you're using outdated cargo_toml.

@bnjbvr would you consider making a release to give access this fix? Would be great!

@dspicher yes, doing this now in #108
