After a successful and productive initial v0.4 release candidate, I am happy to
|
|
|
|
|
announce that the second release candidate for Rocket v0.4 is now available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release candidate fixes issues identified during the first release
|
|
|
|
|
candidate, introduces further features, and leverages upstream `rustc`
|
|
|
|
|
contributions for improved diagnostics and stability. As before, this is an
|
|
|
|
|
opportunity to discover issues with Rocket v0.4 and its documentation before its
|
|
|
|
|
general release. We encourage all users to migrate their applications to the
|
|
|
|
|
second release candidate and report any issues to the [GitHub issue tracker].

To update to `v0.4.0`, manually update `rocket` in your `Cargo.toml` file:

|
|

|
|
|
|

[dependencies]

|
|
|
rocket = "0.4.0"
|

|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Barring any major issues, of which none are expected, the general release of
|
|
|
|
|
Rocket v0.4 is planned for Wednesday, December 5th, when we'll post a full news
|
|
|
|
|
article covering the biggest features and changes in Rocket v0.4. Until then,
|
|
|
|
|
the [CHANGELOG] contains every feature addition, change, and improvement since
|
|
|
|
|
v0.4.0-rc.1 and v0.3, as well as information on migrating your applications to
|
|
|
|
|
v0.4. All documentation, including the [guide] and [API docs], has been updated
|
|
|
|
|
in full for the second release candidate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're excited for your feedback, and we look forward to seeing you again on
|
|
|
|
|
Wednesday, December 5th for the general release!
