Changelog #7

Jan 13, 2020

Commit: a30129b
Release: 2020-01-13

We now publish binary releases to GitHub 🎁! Note that this is the first release, so things are expected to go wrong. Release process is orchestrated by this workflow.

Additionally, the VS Code extension is renamed to rust-analyzer (the old name was ra-lsp). cargo xtask install should automatically remove the old extension, but, if you use the binary release, you’d have to uninstall manually.

We also got a new sponsor: freiheit.com! If you use rust-analyzer at work, consider asking your company to support its development!
