cargo-bins/cargo-binstall v0.20.1

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.

In this release:

• Improve error messages (#781)
• Fallback to copy if symlink failed on windows (#728 #763)
• Fix "Too many "Too Many Requests" log" (#747 #761)
• Add environment variable CARGO_BINSTALL_LOG_LEVEL for specifying log-level if cmdline option --log-level is not present (#790) Removed in next version as BINSTALL_LOG_LEVEL already existed (#796)

Other changes:

• Detect incorrect package.metadata.binstall configuration where pkg-fmt is not specified but pkg-urlalso does not contain format, archive-format or archive-suffix which is required for automatically deducing pkg-fmt (#757)
