cargo-bins/cargo-binstall v0.15.1

on GitHub

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.

Substitutes v0.15.0 due to CI failure.

In this release:

• Disable tcp_nodelay and add rate limiting for HTTP requests. This makes installation more reliable, especially when installing many crates at once. (#457, #458)
• Allow --pkg-fmt, --bin-dir, --pkg-url overrides when installing multiple crates. (#444, #454)
• Use CARGO env variable if present. Cargo sets this for subcommands: it is useful when the cargo binary in use may not be in a standard location or in PATH. (#452, #453)
• Don't try to fetch a package if the crate provides no binaries. This fixes a regression which appeared in 0.14.0. (#446)

Other changes:

• Update README to make it more friendly to beginners. (#464)
• More optimizations. (#459)
• Bump clap from 3.2 to 4.0 (#447, #448, #449, #450, #451, #456, #460, #461)
• Bump cargo_toml from 0.12.2 to 0.12.4 (#455)
