cargo 0.2.3 (2022-04-26)
- Added functionality for the following: The original approach downloaded
precompiled static libraries when compiling source packages if a sufficient
version of the Rust toolchain could not be found. With a recent revision to
CRAN policies, however, this approach is no longer allowed. As such, if a
sufficient version cannot be found when compiling the source package, our Cargo
Framework embeds the Rust source code in the resulting binary package. The
.onLoad and .onAttach functions of the package can then compile the Rust code
if Cargo is available on the end user's machine, or ask the end user to allow
it to install Cargo and then compile the Rust code.
