Week 0018

gpt-disk-rs

• Split the Guid type out of gpt_disk_types and into its own crate: uguid. The existing GUID crates don't quite do the same thing, and since the Guid type is pretty broadly useful (UEFI, GPT, Microsoft Windows) I think it's good to have it in its own crate so it can easily be reused.

• Released a version 0.6.0 of uguid that adds a const Guid::to_ascii_hex_lower method and an optional serde feature for serializing and deserializing stringified Guids. Changelog

uefi-rs

• Quick PR to fix the CI after clap deprecated a bunch of stuff. That fix was quickly superceded by a better one though.

  I think what clap tried to do with smoothing the upgrade path via deprecations was a reasonable and interesting experiment, but ultimately it clearly didn't work out because too many projects don't want to see such warnings, even if non-fatal. I guess maybe a better upgrade guide could have helped, but in the end it doesn't seem like there's much advantage there over just waiting until a major version bump to make the change without using deprecations.
