Version 0.4.0

Features

• The log messages will now display whether a package is already installed
  upon running the ship command when it is configured: either Installing
  when it was not previously installed or Updating on the contrary will be
  mentionned in the messages.
• The ship command now uses cargo search in order to fetch the latest
  available version for each configured package before calling cargo install
  only for each of them that do indeed need an install or update when either
  not installed or installed with a version strictly older than the latest.
  The calls to cargo search are done in parallel, making this version check
  quite fast, therefore saving a lot of time by avoiding calling cargo install
  sequentially for each already-up-to-date package.
• The ship command now displays a summarized update plan before running the
  actually necessary calls to cargo install. That makes the overall
  operation a bit more transparent and readable.
• A new --skip-check option flag has been added to the ship command. As
  its name suggests, it enables one to skip the version check entirely. That
  means it will restore the previous simple behavior: run cargo install for
  each configured package, whether it needs an install or update or not. Most
  of the time, when updating already-installed packages for example, it will
  not prove very useful. However, it can be a bit quicker to use it when only
  very few packages are configured or if all or almost all are not alredy
  installed. It overall enables one to have a bit more control over the global
  operation of the tool, in case of an unexpected bug for example.
• The new --force option flag has been implemented for the ship command.
  It simply passes it onto each call to cargo install: see its documentation
  for more information about it. When used in conjunction with --skip-check
  for example, it will redownload, recompile and reinstall each of the
  configured packages: use it only when truly necessary.

Documentation

• README.md:
  • Updated the example output to reflect the changes from the previous
    release but from this one as well.
  • Removed some useless trailing spaces.
  • New features.

Testing

• New tests have been added for the new CLI features, but also for the new
  functions wrapping calls to cargo search.
• The GitHub Actions CI is now configured to skip the tests for these new
  search functions: the corresponding network calls seem to be filtered
  somehow.
