Big news in cargo-dist land: the news it's no longer cargo-dist, but just dist!

Don't worry, we're not exactly dropping Rust or Cargo. Just felt weird having "cargo" in the name for something that can build stuff written in any language, and it felt even weirder having to have Cargo installed if you're not even building Rust software.

axo blog - say hi to dist, or, cargo-dist no more!

cargo-dist grows beyond just Cargo

we've always had the ambition to be the distribution solution for projects across any language.

today, we have folks shipping not only rust, but php, javascript, c++, and more!

the name cargo-dist has always obfuscated this... until now:

"hello dist!"

is it actually specified anywhere what weird hacks github applies when turning a git commit message into a github comment? in particular they force newlines in the commit message to be hard newlines in the comment even though a naive lowering to markdown would group the lines into a single paragraph.

i think they do the same hack to github releases bodies, which means a CHANGELOG.md and a github release won't render the same with the same input?

"The worst thing an installer can do is fail to install software, but the second-worst thing an installer can do is to successfully install software that doesn't work."
