Release Notes
This release contains a few new features for further customizing the installer experience, both as a packager and the end user.
Artifact location installer customization
We now provide two new environment variables making it possible to customize just the base URL for fetching installers. Previously, the only customization for overriding the install URL overrode the full URL, including version-specific paths, which made it difficult to use for users who were proxying or mirroring GitHub paths. These new variables are branded with your app's name. For example:
{app_name}_INSTALLER_GITHUB_BASE_URL{app_name}_INSTALLER_GHE_BASE_URL
These two variables will also be supported by a new version of axoupdater in order to allow overriding the GitHub API URL. Thank you to user @gaborbernat for inspiring this change and writing the axoupdater side!
You can learn more about this feature in the artifact location installer usage documentation.
Default glibc version override
Ordinarily, dist automatically detects the version of glibc used by your linux-gnu builds and uses this in the installers to detect if the end user's system will be compatible. In certain specific build environments, this autodetection isn't possible, so we've introduced a feature allowing the glibc version to be manually specified in the dist configuration. If provided, this replaces the fallback version that would otherwise be used.

Verifying GitHub Artifact Attestations
The artifacts in this release have attestations generated with GitHub Artifact Attestations. These can be verified by using the GitHub CLI:
gh attestation verify <file-path of downloaded artifact> --repo axodotdev/cargo-distYou can also download the attestation from GitHub and verify against that directly:
gh attestation verify <file-path of downloaded artifact> --bundle <file-path of downloaded attestation>
