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:

  • Binstall now writes to standard meta files $CARGO_HOME/.crates.toml and $CARGO_HOME/.crates2.json. This improves interoperability with other cargo tools. (#205 by @passcod)
  • We now write binaries and symlinks atomically, to prevent corruption. (#195 by @NobodyXu)
  • In most cases, a single HTTP connection will be opened per remote host and re-used, instead of making a new one for each use. (#198 by @NobodyXu)

Other changes:

  • Windows target detection is improved, with support for gnullvm targets. (#199 by @NobodyXu)
  • Binstall builds are now optimised for size; performance is still great. (#200 by @NobodyXu)
