v0.20.1

What's Changed

• Add support for rustdoc v25 on nightly Rust.

The v0.20.x series of releases will be the last one to support rustdoc formats v21 and v22, which are part of Rust 1.65 and 1.66, respectively. Versions v0.21+ will only support semver-checking rustdoc generated by Rust 1.67+.

v0.20.0

What's Changed

• Massive performance boost, especially on large crates: up to 2354x faster than before thanks to the new optimizations API in Trustfall v0.4
• Bugfix: the --release-type CLI argument was not being properly applied.
• Bugfix: checking no longer fails for crates whose lib targets had a different name than the crate.

The v0.20.x series of releases will be the last one to support rustdoc formats v21 and v22, which are part of Rust 1.65 and 1.66, respectively. Versions v0.21+ will only support semver-checking rustdoc generated by Rust 1.67+.

What's Changed

• New lints: enum_tuple_variant_field_added and enum_tuple_variant_field_missing, requiring major bumps when enums' exhaustive tuple variants gain or lose fields

v0.18.3

What's Changed

In prior v0.18.x versions, CLI argument parsing bugs could lead to false-negatives or incorrect crates being selected for checking in a workspace. The false-negatives were caused by an incorrect baseline selection used as a default: "current directory" instead of "largest prior version on crates.io."

Due to the severity of these issues, all prior v0.18.x versions are yanked. Per our usual policy, we've added the reproducers for these issues to our integration test suite, so they can never happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience!

v0.18.0

What's Changed

• Baseline rustdoc JSON is cached, since it rarely changes. This cuts project build times in half.
• New --release-type <major/minor/patch> flag. Use it to opt out of semver-minor lints, or to override the automatic release categorization logic based on version numbers.
• New lint: type_marked_deprecated, requiring minor bump on deprecations of structs and enums
• Bugfixes:
  • Avoid false-positives on crates that expose 3rd party types in APIs but the local lockfile doesn't use the latest version of the 3rd party crate (#167), fixed by changing the rustdoc generation approach in #341
  • Ignore rustdoc lint errors, so that semver-checking linty crates is allowed (obi1kenobi/cargo-semver-checks-action#17), implemented in #357
