Backport fix to remove startup... clean builds fail because startup crate is missing

[golfingal72]

Is there any way to backport the fixes for the crate.io removing 'startup' and replacing with 'ctor'?

The 1.0.x versions are labeled alpha and I want to be able to use the 0.15.x preferrably, but will use the 0.16.0 if i have to

Good question! Thanks for bringing this up.

Our project uses semantic versioning as the guiding principle for our releases and the meaning of each release number. Per that specification, everything prior to 1.0.0 is experimental at best. This means that the 1.0.0-alpha releases are substantially more stable than 0.16.x, 0.15.x or any lower pre-0.x version.

Put another way, we're not going to back-port the fixes to versions that were experimental. We're no longer providing updates for them and the guidance is to update to a 1.0.0 version as soon as possible. Our intention is to graduate the 1.0.0-alpha versions into a "release candidate" this week. The "release candidate" will receive any necessary bug fixes prior to us shipping it as an 1.0.0 (without any designator) in the coming weeks.

Aside from perceived stability, I'm curious if there is anything else preventing you from upgrading to Router 1.0.0-alpha?

I ended up going up through the chain to upgrade to the alpha.2, I'll be on the lookout for the "official" 1.0.0 release... so I marked as answered...
