Scarb 0.1 Release Candidate

Welcome to the first release candidate of Scarb v0.1.0. We find Scarb to be ready for writing Cairo code and StarkNet contracts, and this release mostly brings small quality of life improvements:

• Ready for Cairo Language Server - scarb metadata now outputs necessary information needed for Cairo Language Server to load Scarb projects.
• scarb rm - Counterpart to scarb add, remove dependencies from the project.
• Automatically initialize VCS in new projects - scarb new/init can now perform git init automatically.
• Hardened semantics of dependencies' targets - Dependency packages now are checked for having lib target turned on.
• Override paths to important directories - Use environment variables or CLI flags to override paths to target, global cache and global config directories.
• Scarb as library new APIs - Config::builder() and CompilerRepository now enables, although in not the most elegant way, to define custom targets in custom build commands.
• Scarb has been published to crates.io - https://crates.io/crates/scarb/0.1.0-rc.0 🎉

What's next?

This release marks that we believe that Scarb is ready for development of Cairo code and StarkNet contracts. Apart from fixing any arisen issues, we plan to release one more release candidate with Cairo Alpha 4. Then, around time when StarkNet 0.11 will reach Mainnet, we plan to release stable Scarb 0.1.0 🎉

And as always, if you are interested, we maintain a public roadmap.

Cairo version

This version of Scarb comes with Cairo v0.1.0-alpha.3.
