Alice v0.4.0

in release

Announcing the release of Alice v0.4.0!

The main change in this version is switching the manifest format from TOML to KDL. Read this page for the reasoning behind this change.

Migrating from earlier versions

This example demonstrates how all the features of package manifests are represented in the old TOML format and the new KDL format.

Alice.toml:

[package]
name = "foo"
version = "0.1.0"

[dependencies]
bar = { path = "../bar" }
baz = { path = "../baz" }

Alice.kdl:

package {
  name foo
  version "0.1.0"
  dependencies {
    bar path="../bar"
    baz path="../baz"
  }
}
