0.18.4

Added

• PR#779 added the --metadata-path argument to use a cargo metadata JSON file instead of calling cargo metadata, resolving #777.
• PR#782 added sources.unused-allow-source to allow configuration of the lint level when a source is allowed but not used by any crate in the graph, closing #781.

Changed

• PR#786 changed the license check output. / is no longer corrected to OR, and if the license expression is found in the package's manifest, that span is used in diagnostic messages instead of the synthesized manifest.

Fixed

• PR#786 resolved #784 by updating spdx to a new version that forces all GNU licenses to be exactly equal when comparing license expressions to licensee expressions, which is incredibly pedantic, but means the license comparison is entirely in the hands of the user so that I no longer have to deal with GNU licenses.

0.18.3

Changed

• PR#773 changed cargo-deny's duplicate detection to automatically ignore versions whose only dependent is another version of the same crate.

0.18.2

Added

• PR#753 resolved #752 by adding back the advisories.unmaintained config option. See the docs for how it can be used. The default matches the current behavior, which is to error on any unmaintained advisory, but adding unmaintained = "workspace" to the [advisories] table will mean unmaintained advisories will only error if the crate is a direct dependency of your workspace.

0.18.1

Fixed

• PR#749 updated krates to pull in the fix for EmbarkStudios/krates#100.

0.18.0

Changed

• PR#746 changed the directory naming of advisory databases, again, so the name uses the last path component and a different, but also stable, hashing algorithm. Eg. the default https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db will now be placed in $CARGO_HOME/advisory-dbs/advisory-db-3157b0e258782691.
• PR#746 changed the MSRV to 1.85.0 and uses edition 2024.

Fixed

• PR#746 fixes an issue when using cargo 1.85.0 where source urls were not being properly assigned to crates.io due to the constant being used no longer matching the new path used in cargo 1.85.0 causing eg. workspace dependency checks to fail.

0.17.0

Changed

• PR#745 updated tame-index to 0.18.0 so that cargo 1.85.0 is transparently supported along with older cargo versions.
• PR#745 now uses the same stable hashing as cargo 1.85.0 for the advisory databases, which changes their path, but will notably now be the same across all host platforms.

0.16.4

Changed

• PR#742 updated gix to 0.70, to resolve RUSTSEC-2025-0001.

Fixed

• PR#739 fixed an issue where sources could match even if the hostname was not the same.

0.16.3

Changed

• PR#721 updated rust-version to 1.81.0 to accurately reflect the minimum rust version required to compile, resolving #720.
• PR#722 updated the SPDX license list to 3.25.0.

Fixed

• PR#726 resolved #725 by adding the unnecessary-skip diagnostic, emitted when there is a skip configured for a crate that only has one version in the graph.

0.16.2

Fixed

• PR#703 resolved #696 by no longer emitting errors when failing to deserialize deprecated fields, and removed some lingering documentation that wasn't removed in PR#611.
• PR#719 updated to krates -> 0.17.5, fixing an issue where cargo-deny could panic due to incorrectly resolving features for different versions of the same crate referenced by a single crate.
• PR#719 resolved #706 by removing a warning issued when users use ignored scheme modifiers for source urls.
• PR#719 resolved #718 by updating the book with missing arguments.

Added

• PR#715 resolved #714 by adding support for Edition 2024. Thanks @kpcyrd!
• PR#710 resolved #708 by allowing for unpublished workspace crates to be excluded from the dependency graph that checks are run against, either via the --exclude-unpublished CLI argument or the graph.exclude-unpublished config field. Thanks @Tastaturtaste!

Changed

• PR#711 updated goblin -> 0.9.2
• PR#713 updated various crates, notably rustsec -> 0.30.

0.16.1

Fixed

• PR#691 fixed an issue where workspace dependencies that used the current dir '.' path component would incorrectly trigger the unused-workspace-dependency lint.
