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.
We're very happy to announce this 1.0 release! 🎉

In this release:
- Support install directly from git repository using
--git(#3 #1162) - Add new option
--no-trackto not update manifests when installing (#1111) - Add fallback targets to windows (#642 #650)
- We attempt to detect if some targets other than the native/host one are runnable on your system and make those eligible for being downloaded if matching builds are available (and builds for the host target are not).
- The fallback logic is a bit convoluted to explain in one sentence, but essentially: x86 builds on x64 hosts, ARM32 builds on (some) ARM64 hosts, x86/x64 builds on (some) ARM64 hosts.
- Show license and source in long help (#1149)
- A reminder that Binstall and the binstalk library are GPL!
