IntelliJ Rust Changelog #149

New Features

• #7113 Add Run with root privileges/Run with Administrator privileges option for Cargo run configurations, so now it’s possible to run them with root/Administrator privileges. Current restrictions:
  • Requires Build tool window, which is enabled by default (can be turned off via org.rust.cargo.build.window experimental feature)
  • Does not work with cargo test configurations

  

• #6745 Provide quick-fix to add a parameter to a function/method from its call (by @Kobzol)

  

• #7003 Add intention to extract dependency specification in a separate table in Cargo.toml

• #7217 Show all detected toolchains in Rust toolchain settings (including project creation dialog). Allows choosing necessary toolchain if you have several ones, for example, local and WSL-based

  

• #7068 Complete table dependency specifications using crates local index. Note, currently this feature is experimental and can be enabled via org.rust.crates.local.index experimental feature

• #7065 Render &str string slices content when debugging using MSVC toolchain on Windows. See tracking issue if you are interested in current status of MSVC LLDB support.
