v0.23.0

What's Changed

This release enables sparse index support, which you'll notice in the form of much faster semver-checking time. Thanks to @Jake-Shadle for this huge contribution!

New lints in this release:

• pub_static_missing
• pub_module_level_const_missing
• trait_removed_associated_type

This is the last version to support Rust 1.67.

Due to many of our dependencies raising MSRV to 1.70, our future releases will also have an MSRV of 1.70 or higher. However, Rust 1.68-1.70 share a rustdoc JSON format, so the next planned release will be able to test crates that need 1.68 or 1.69 — just compile cargo-semver-checks itself on Rust 1.70 or higher before using it with 1.68-1.69.

• Fix crash when checking crate without a lib target, or a workspace with such a crate.
  • Such crates are now skipped by default. The tool exits with an error if there are no lib crates to check.

Full Changelog: v0.21.0...v0.22.0

v0.21.0

What's Changed

• Better defaults and fine-grained control over which crate features are semver-checked
  • Includes CLI flags for overriding feature groups and including features to be checked.
  • New heuristic for choosing features to semver-check while avoiding unstable, nightly, and private-only features.
  • This heuristic replaces the prior default behavior of checking all features even if they were clearly marked as unstable or private.
• New lint: trait_method_missing
• Many improvements to various error messages.

This release only supports semver-checking rustdoc generated by Rust 1.67+, dropping support for rustdoc formats v21 and v22 part of Rust 1.65 and 1.66 respectively. This was previously announced in the release notes of the v0.20 release.

v0.20.0

What's Changed

• Massive performance boost, especially on large crates: up to 2354x faster than before thanks to the new optimizations API in Trustfall v0.4
• Bugfix: the --release-type CLI argument was not being properly applied.
• Bugfix: checking no longer fails for crates whose lib targets had a different name than the crate.

The v0.20.x series of releases will be the last one to support rustdoc formats v21 and v22, which are part of Rust 1.65 and 1.66, respectively. Versions v0.21+ will only support semver-checking rustdoc generated by Rust 1.67+.

Full Changelog: v0.18.3...v0.19.0

v0.18.3

What's Changed

In prior v0.18.x versions, CLI argument parsing bugs could lead to false-negatives or incorrect crates being selected for checking in a workspace. The false-negatives were caused by an incorrect baseline selection used as a default: "current directory" instead of "largest prior version on crates.io."

Due to the severity of these issues, all prior v0.18.x versions are yanked. Per our usual policy, we've added the reproducers for these issues to our integration test suite, so they can never happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience!
