0.48.4

A user reported issues with using Rust 1.48 with windows-targets. It is quite difficult to validate as that is such an old version of Rust, but this tweak should address the compatibility concern.

This just flips windows-targets and the arch-specific crates to use Rust edition 2018.

What's Changed

• 0.48.4 by @kennykerr in #2613

Full Changelog: 0.51.1...0.48.4

0.51.1

This is mainly for publishing an update of the windows-bindgen crate but also fixes a few minor readme and version issues to avoid confusion.

• The windows and windows-core crates are updated to 0.51.1 to update the readme but are otherwise unchanged.
• The windows-targets crate and arch-specific crates are updated to 0.48.3 to update the readme and bring the lib file names in line with the crate version.

Those are all semver-compatible updates.

• The windows-bindgen crate is updated to 0.51.1 and includes the new riddle-based metadata processing capabilities and is compatible with the windows and windows-core crates.
• The windows-metadata crate is updated to 0.51.1 and includes many refinements but is largely for internal use.

Those are major breaking changes.

The windows-sys crate will not be updated at this time.

What's Changed

• Make riddle available as a library by @kennykerr in #2609
• Improve windows-bindgen for std usage by @kennykerr in #2610
• Version 0.51.1 by @kennykerr in #2611

• The windows crate now depends on the windows-core crate.
• The windows, windows-core, windows-implement, and windows-interface crates have been bumped to version 0.51.0 as there have been breaking changes.
