Beta testing rustup.rs

rustup 0.6.4 is out. Upgrade with rustup self update.

It’s been a while. This is mostly bug fixes, but it does come with one goodie: rustup can generate shell completions for bash, zsh, and fish (thanks @kbknapp).

This should also fix the occasional issues with checksum failures on updates. With that bug out of the way I’m going to focus on releasing rustup 1.0 and making rustup the primary installation mechanism for Rust. This will mostly entail bumping the version number and updating the main website’s download page, but I’ll also probably do a once-over of the issue tracker and see if there’s any last-minute polish to be done.

I do think there’s a whole lot of work left to do to make rustup really great, but it’s about time to bite the bullet and get a major release out. After 1.0, future work will involve getting back to “NDK” support, signing, bugfixing, and packaging of additional tools. In the future I would like to do another pass at the CLI design - I think the basic UI could be cleaner still, the commands more predictable.

0.6.4
