2020-02-27 15:21:03 +00:00
In all cases you can install the in-development version by cloning from this repo and using `cargo build --release` . This is built and tested with Rust Stable (1.41 as of writing).
2020-02-23 04:49:45 +00:00
2020-02-26 04:28:56 +00:00

2020-01-19 07:02:44 +00:00
2020-02-26 04:28:56 +00:00
I officially support and test 64-bit versions of [Tier 1 ](https://forge.rust-lang.org/release/platform-support.html ) Rust targets. I will try to build and release 32-bit versions for Linux and Windows, but as of now, I will not be testing 32-bit for validity beyond building.
