Added

  • PR#168 added the ability to retrieve harvested license data from clearlydefined.io, which generally has superior machine harvested data to the old of approach of relying completely on askalono and local file scanning. This gathering is enabled by default, but can be turned off with the no-clearly-defined option in the config.
  • PR#168 added the concept of clarifications, which are essentially user specified overrides for the license for a crate, using 1 or more sources of truth to ensure there is no drift between the clarification and the crate license over time.
  • PR#168 added built-in workarounds, which are just opt-in clarifications that are built-in to cargo-about itself so that users of cargo-about don't have to repeat the same clarification process for various popular crates in the ecosystem.
  • PR#168 added the clarify subcommand, which can be used to help you clarify particular crates.
  • PR#168 added support for accepted licenses on a per-crate basis in addition to the global accepted licenses.
  • PR#169 added an mdbook at https://embarkstudios.github.io/cargo-about/ to give improved documentation over the previous README.md only approach.

Changed

Removed

  • PR#169 removed the additional and ignore crate configuration in favor of clarifications and/or the better harvested content from clearlydefined.io.
