Hi, I'm writing a comparison of various languages[1], including Rust. I'm not sure what to say about binary compatibility.
Rust libraries include some kind of hash in their name. It seems that a binary compiled against a library can only be upgraded to a new version if the hash still matches, but I'm not sure what conditions cause it to change. I tried adding an "author" field to my library's metadata, and that changed the hash. I guess I can avoid that problem easily enough by just not adding/changing author tags. But are there other changes I might have to make to my library that would break it? Or, is it possible to remove the hashes?
