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).

Below are the main changes included in this beta release:

Rust version

1.87.0

Docker image optimizations

The Docker image is optimized to leverage caching, improve on resource utilization (e.g. size) and speed up build time.

• Image layers are split up into separate Docker images:
  • OSXCross & SDK (base image):
    • It is now provided by a standalone joseluisq/docker-osxcross Docker image based on top of the latest Debian 13-slim (Trixie).
  • Rust toolchains (default): This Docker image provides the OSXCross & SDK and Rust toolchains for cross-compiling to linux and darwin targets.
  • Rust toolchains with built-in C libraries (optional): This Docker image provides Rust toolchains along with additional C libraries commonly used in Rust projects like ZLib and OpenSSL. libpq is in progress.

Docker images provided:

Docker images are available in both Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).

1. Rust toolchains (default):
   • docker pull ghcr.io/joseluisq/rust-linux-darwin-builder:2.0.0-beta.1
   • docker pull joseluisq/rust-linux-darwin-builder:2.0.0-beta.1
2. Rust tolchains with built-in C libraries (optional):
   • docker pull ghcr.io/joseluisq/rust-linux-darwin-builder:2.0.0-beta.1-libs
   • docker pull joseluisq/rust-linux-darwin-builder:2.0.0-beta.1-libs

For using only the OSXCross & SDK, have a look at the joseluisq/docker-osxcross.

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

Built-in C libraries

• ZLib 1.3.1
• OpenSSL 3.5.4
• libpq 15.6 (in progress)

Cross-compilation improvements

• We fixed several issues related to cross-compilation for both linux and darwin targets especially those related to cross-compiling Rust programs that depend on C libraries like OpenSSL and ZLib.

Cross-compilation tests

We improved cross-compilation testing for several Rust apps and C libraries like ZLib and OpenSSL.

See our test suite in Makefile and tests/ folder.

CI

• Move from Cirrus CI to GitHub Actions.

Breaking changes

Please pay attention to the following breaking changes:

• The base OS image is now based on Debian 13-slim (Trixie).
• Starting from v2.x, the version number is no longer bound to a particular Rust version as it was before in v1.x.
  This change should help us to deliver bug fixes and improvements without waiting for the next Rust release.
• The default Docker image no longer includes built-in C libraries like ZLib and OpenSSL.
  Users who need these libraries should use the -libs Docker image variant.
• Removed Rust arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc toolchain (but it can be added later if requested).
• scripts/git-credential-ghtoken file is removed as GitHub Actions provides built-in support for authentication using GITHUB_TOKEN.

If you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to let us know or give us a hand.
