0.8.4

Changed

• PR#295 changes how GNU licenses are detected, previously in 0.8.3 they would be detected as their root eg. GPL-3.0 form, which are all deprecated. As all GNU licenses use the exact same text for the different variants, one of which is deprecated, they are now always detected as the -or-later variant, eg. GPL-3.0-or-later. If this detection does not match the actual license requirement, eg. GPL-3.0-only, then it must be corrected by the user, as unfortunately the license detection cannot determine that due to the lack of distinction between the license texts.

0.8.3

Changed

• PR#291 resolved #272 by exposing the core generate function and associated types publicly.
• PR#294 updated spdx to 0.13, replacing the need for askalono for license detection.

0.8.2

Fixed

• PR#290 returns the behavior of allowing deprecated license identifiers in the accepted field.

0.8.1

Fixed

• PR#289 fixed deserialization of .cargo_vcs_info.json as the dirty field was only added in more recent versions.
• PR#289 relaxed parsing of SPDX expressions for external crates as they can contain deprecated license identifiers the user has no control over.

0.8.0

Changed

• PR#287 updated crates.

Added

• PR#285 added workarounds for rustix and linux-raw-sys.

Removed

• PR#287 removed support for retrieving license information from clearly defined. It's too slow, unreliable, and tends to only add noise.

0.7.1

Changed

• PR#279 updated crates, resolving #278.

0.7.0

Changed

• PR#275 updated crates.
• PR#275 moved to edition 2024 and rust 1.85.0 as the MSRV.

0.6.6

Added

• PR#268 resolved #267 by adding a unicode-ident workaround to compensate for the LICENSE-UNICODE file more closely matching the Unicode-3.0 SPDX identifier rather than the expected Unicode-DFS-2016 one.

0.6.5

Added

• PR#261 resolved #246 by adding an --offline (as well as --locked and --frozen) option to the generate command.
• PR#266 resolved #230 by adding a --target option to generate, allowing one to specify one or more targets to filter the dependency graph by, overriding the targets configuration option.

Changed

• PR#262 resolved #258 by using LTO for release builds, slightly decreasing binary sizes.

Fixed

• PR#263 resolved #238 by adding the native-certs feature to use the native certificate store. This feature is not enabled by default as it is only required for corporate environments that man in the middle network traffic.
• PR#265 resolved #198 by detecting if the parent process is powershell and exiting with an error if cargo-about's output is being redirected instead of using the -o option, as powershell is terrible and doesn't use utf-8 encoding by default.
• PR#266 resolved #222 by adding some additional documentation on https://clearlydefined.io.

0.6.4

Fixed

• PR#254 reverted unintended id -> short_id field rename.
