rs-0.14.1 — rs-0.14.0, released#

rs-0.14.1 is the release of everything in rs-0.14.0: std.json, std.os, std.sys, and the built-ins ord and chr. rs-0.14.0 was tagged, but its Windows build failed a test, so no binaries were published for it and the installers stayed on rs-0.13.0. Install rs-0.14.1.

Environment names on Windows#

The failing test found a real difference between platforms. Windows ignores case in environment variable names, and some Windows systems spell PATH as Path. os.env("PATH") found it either way, but os.environment() listed it under Path, so os.environment().get("PATH") was null on those machines.

On Windows, environment() now spells every name in upper case, as Python's os.environ does, so the same program works on every platform:

takepkg std.os;

func m{
    out(os.environment().get("PATH") != null);   // true on Windows, Linux, and macOS
}

On Linux and macOS names keep their spelling, because there Path and PATH are two different variables.

Validation#

cargo test passes 134 tests (13 unit, 120 execution, 1 memory) on Windows Rust, on WSL-native Rust, and on GitHub's Windows and Linux runners. The test now sets a mixed-case variable itself, so it no longer depends on how the machine running it spells PATH.
