upload-rust-binary-action reaches for `cross` on any *-musl target. Every
entry in the matrix builds on a runner of its own architecture — only the
libc differs — so cross buys nothing, and on the native arm64 runner it
hard-failed:
error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' may not be able to
run on this system
That cost v6.0.0 its aarch64-unknown-linux-musl archive; the other five
targets uploaded because the matrix is fail-fast: false.
Re-running the failed job from the Actions UI replays the old workflow file,
which is useless when the workflow is the bug. So the Release workflow now
takes an optional `tag` input that rebuilds and re-uploads binaries for an
existing tag. That value reaches actions/checkout as `ref:` and is typed by
whoever dispatches, so it is checked against a literal version tag first.
Replace the 326-line semantic-release/npm workflow with release-plz, which
handles the whole chain the old one only half did:
- versioning and CHANGELOG from the conventional commits already in use
- a `chore: release vX.Y.Z` PR as the gate; merging it tags and releases
- publishes both crates to crates.io in dependency order, waiting for the
index between them (RELEASE.md used to ask you to do this by hand)
- release-plz.toml keeps the two crates on one version, one tag, one changelog
Binaries now cover six targets instead of four. Linux switches from gnu to
musl so the downloads are statically linked and stop caring about the host's
glibc version; linux-aarch64 and windows-aarch64 are new. Archives carry
sha256 checksums plus README and LICENSE.
CI drops twelve hand-rolled actions/cache steps for Swatinem/rust-cache.
