rust-analyzer changelog #7

Changelog #7

Commit: a30129b Release: 2020-01-13

We now publish binary releases to GitHub :gift:! Note that this is the first release, so things are expected to go wrong. Release process is orchestrated by this workflow .

Additionally, the VS Code extension is renamed to rust-analyzer (the old name was ra-lsp ). cargo xtask install should automatically remove the old extension, but, if you use the binary release, you’d have to uninstall manually.

We also got a new sponsor: freiheit.com ! If you use rust-analyzer at work, consider asking your company to support its development!
