In this release:

• Impl retry for http status code 503 and 429 in response (#472, #473)
• Fix install_from_source: Set cmd cargo-install to be kill_on_drop so that cargo-binstall would terminate any running cargo-install when it receives signal for cancellation (e.g. SIGINT) (#479)
• Make tarball/bin extraction process cancellable: It can now be cancelled by signal (e.g. SIGINT) (#481)
• Fixed cargo-binstall -V: It now prints cargo-binstall version as expected (#485, #488)

Other changes:

• docs: update unsupported crates guide (#467, #468)

v0.15.1

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.

Substitutes v0.15.0 due to CI failure.

In this release:

• Disable tcp_nodelay and add rate limiting for HTTP requests. This makes installation more reliable, especially when installing many crates at once. (#457, #458)
• Allow --pkg-fmt, --bin-dir, --pkg-url overrides when installing multiple crates. (#444, #454)
• Use CARGO env variable if present. Cargo sets this for subcommands: it is useful when the cargo binary in use may not be in a standard location or in PATH. (#452, #453)
• Don't try to fetch a package if the crate provides no binaries. This fixes a regression which appeared in 0.14.0. (#446)

• Update README to make it more friendly to beginners. (#464)
• More optimizations. (#459)

• --no-symlinks now installs binary without version (#432)
• Enable feat gzip, brotli and deflate decompression support for http/https to speedup download of crates with pkg-fmt set to "bin" on slow connections (#434)
• Optimize applying PkgOverrides into PkgMeta (#429)
• Optimize bins::BinFile (#422)
• Check source_file_path to ensure it is valid to provide better error messages and prevent rendered bin-dir from accessing outside of the temporary directory containing the extracted binaries (#421)
