Update-informer: a highly customizable Rust library for CLI apps

SAN FRANCISCO - July 27, 2022 - PRLog -- Update-informer allows you to automatically check for new versions on resources like Crates.io and GitHub. Crates.io is the Rust community's crate registry, the main resource where all projects, libraries, etc. are stored.

When you add the update-informer library in your CLI application, which runs in the console, it periodically (for example, once a day) checks to see if a new version has been released. If one is out, then update-informer sends a message to the console like, "A new release is available, update with this link."

At the moment, the v0.2.0 version of the update-informer has been released. If there is interest from the community or requests for improvements, then of course we will work on improving this tool and expanding the functionality. In the future, we plan to support all popular hosts, such as GitLab and Bitbucket, as well as add support for various HTTP clients to reduce dependencies. Check the project's GitHub and send us pull requests!

Our work on open-source projects — and the fact that every month we choose several OSS projects to sponsor — shows our initiative and understanding of what developers love and need. Reach out to us via the form below if you need to update your project to the latest versions of the technology stack!
