Previously, we had avoided doing this because there wasn't any way to guarantee that we didn't make mistakes and render the wrong version for a particular named toolchain version.
In this commit, we take the pragmatic approach of renaming the named toolchain versions - in particular, we add a suffix which includes the toolchain version. This is fairly error-resistant for two reasons:
Cargo.toml
), the name appears on the same line as the version, so mistakes should be obvious.rs
files), the name appears within a few lines of any#[cfg_attr(doc_cfg, doc(cfg(...)))]
attribute, so mistakes should similarly be obviousRelease 0.8.7.
Closes #894
