Caveat

This is a pre-release to get early feedback from the community on the new features. There is ongoing work on known bugs; please check these before reporting.

Major new features

alr install allows to install indexed or local crates under a prefix with standard gprinstall structure (under ~/.alire by default).
By default now, dependencies are downloaded once to a shared cache, and a unique build folder is used for each release configuration, also shared across workspaces.
alr test by default now tests the local workspace.
alr publish will offer by default to create for you the PR against the community index.
New switches alr publish --status|--cancel|--request-review allow complete management of release submissions from the command line.

Check our log of user-visible changes for full details.
