Please specify rust-version

[kornelski]

This crate uses just-released Rust 1.79 feature without specifying rust-version in Cargo.toml. This makes older Rust confuse users complaining about experimental features and barfing compilation errors, instead of clearly communicating that their Rust is too old.

Now this says I have to use 1.79 and can't even use 1.78... is this the expected behavior?

Im new to rust and just included the image crate. I dont believe I use inline consts but... i suppose it doesnt matter because I upgraded rust to 1.79

Oh, nevermind. I've noticed the problem was only in 2.4.0, and 2.4.1 has rust-version.

@tuffy Given that 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 only differ in the rust-version being specified… Can you yank 2.4.0?

The upcoming edition 2024 / resolver=3 allows for fallback versions that work with a lower version. Testing it (rust-lang/cargo#13873) with a bunch of my projects quickly resulted in finding this crate where 2.4.0 is tried to be used which doesn't work better than 2.4.1. And as they are nearly identical, I'd suggest yanking 2.4.0 to reduce this pain point a bit.

PS: I like seeing the usage of more const!
