WhoAmI 1.x.y targets Rust 1.40.0 stable and later, and the 1.x.y track will be maintained at least until the release of the Rust 2024 edition.
The MSRV will not be updated until version 2.0.0, after which breaking changes
may happen on minor releases, and version 2.0.0 will target Rust 1.65.0 and
later to make use of the let else syntax. The current plan is for all 2.x
releases to be supported and receive bugfixes at least until sometime in 2027,
bumping MSRV only as needed.
whome: whoami command RiR (Re-written in
Rust) that depends on this crate.
The testing procedure is documented at https://github.com/ardaku/whoami/blob/v1/TESTING.md. The full manual test suite is run for each change that affects multiple platforms.
