exa v0.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-06-05 // almost 9 years ago

  • 🚀 It's been exactly 100 commits and just over three months since version 0.2, so it's about time I did another binary release. This one fixes a few bugs, but most of the code changes have been maintenance: upgrading to the new standard filesystem library was a big step, and having dates in the right time zone is something I'm glad to have finally landed.

    By the way, I've decided to hold off on version 1.0 until exa can compile with Rust Stable. There aren't many feature flags left, and most of the ones that are pertain to the new std::fs library that we need to use. So exa will continue to require the nightly version for the foreseeable future.
