Changelog

All notable changes to self-replace are documented here.

1.5.0

Raised MSRV to 1.63 and upgraded windows-sys to 0.52. #26

1.4.0

Added self_delete_at. #22

1.3.7

Fix windows dependency. #16
Fix examples failing to run on non unix platforms.

1.3.6

Symlinks are now properly resolved. This allows replacing the executable when it's invoked via a symlink. #18

1.3.5

Explicitly pass the process handle on Windows simplifying the implementation.
Change the dummy command to use on windows away from ping.exe to cmd.exe.
More correctly invoke CreateProcessA on Windows.

1.3.4

yanked invalid release

1.3.3

Avoid the use of atexit and spawn immediately. This has the advantage that even if the process crashes hard, we already have started the cleanup handler.
Improve safety of the crate for Windows by avoiding unsupported life before main.

1.3.2

Use an atomic rename on Windows in the self replacement case for the final step to avoid accidentally leaving partial executables behind.
Resolved an issue where a potentially incorrect filename was computed on Windows in some cases.
A temporary folder is now always preferred on windows for the temporary operations if possible. This code path now also works correctly.

1.3.1

Fixes a bug that caused the wrong path to be calculated internally creating an access error in some cases.

1.3.0

Added support for self_delete_outside_path to support more complex uninstallation scenarios on Windows.

1.2.0

Improve a race condition on Windows.

1.1.0

Support older rustc releases.

1.0.0

Initial release.
