Watchexec 1.20.6

Release notes

Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Boring! Watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications. Install it today with cargo-binstall watchexec-cli, from the binaries below, find it in your favourite package manager, or build it from source with cargo install watchexec-cli.

In this release:

  • Origins: detect Go, Zig, Pip (#370)
  • Docs: document known packages, and prioritise package managers in documentation
  • Deps: update notify to 5.0.0 (#382, #384)
  • Releng: use cargo-bins/release-pr
  • Releng: change tag scheme. CLI versions are tagged v1.2.3, all other crates are strictly {crate-name}-v1.2.3. Historical tag names are preserved as aliases.

Other changes:

  • Deps: update miette to 5.3.0 (#406)
  • Deps: update git-config to 0.7.1 (#406)
  • Releng: enable dependency updates (#394)
  • Releng: remove bors
