v2.0.0-beta.1

[joseluisq]

This PR introduces the first beta version v2.0.0-beta.1 that includes significant improvements over the current v1.

rust-linux-darwin-builder Docker image remains multi-arch (linux/amd64 and linux/arm64).

Changes are described as follows:

Improvements

Docker image optimizations

• OSXCross build steps were split into a separate Docker image (joseluisq/docker-osxcross), which will be the base image on top of the latest Debian 13-slim (Trixie).
• Better offers better image layer caching and speeds up build time.

Built-in C libraries

• ZLib 1.3.1 -
• OpenSSL 3.5.4 -

Cross-compilation improvements

• TODO

Rust toolchains

Rust programs can cross-compile for those targets below, either from the linux/arm64 or linux/amd64 Docker image variant, so users can take advantage of them in native environments.

• aarch64-apple-darwin
• aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
• aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
• x86_64-apple-darwin
• x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Testing

• Improved cross-compilation testing for several Rust apps and C libraries like Lib and OpenSSL.

CI

• Move from Cirrus CI to GitHub Actions.

Breaking

• Release v2.x will no longer be bound to a Rust version, as it was before for v1.x. This should help deliver bug fixes and improvements without waiting for the next upcoming Rust release.
• Removed Rust arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc toolchain (but it can be added later if requested).
