Watchexec 1.21.1

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:

  • Running as PID 1 (for examples, in a container) is now partially supported. Watchexec will properly exit, but may not behave exactly like an init program should. (#140, #497)
  • Fixed a critical bug due to Rust 1.66 changing a behaviour. (#494)

Other changes:

  • Added checksum files that are per-file as well as the bulk SUMS files, and added sha256 sums. (#500)
  • Added dist-manifest.json (#500)
