cargo-semver-checks 0.25.0

v0.25.0

on Rust Cargo

What's Changed

Resolved nearly all false-positive lints that were caused by improper doc(hidden) handling — nearly 60% of all false-positives observed in the real world!

• Joint work with @davidhewitt: #576
• Description of how it works, and why it was much more complex than just "pretend doc(hidden) items don't exist": https://predr.ag/blog/checking-semver-for-doc-hidden-items/

Proper doc(hidden) handling requires Rust 1.73+, due to a rustdoc bug in prior versions that causes re-exported hidden items to be inappropriately omitted from rustdoc JSON files. Therefore:

• we drop support for Rust 1.70, and
• we advise against using Rust 1.71-1.72 even though cargo-semver-checks will still run with them, since they happen to share a rustdoc JSON format with Rust 1.73.
