Ring: semver incompatible change in 0.16.16

[Xiphoseer]

Hey,

I'm trying to use firestore-db-and-auth, which uses biscuit="0.4" which fails to compile because the 0.4.x series uses
the removed public KeyRejected::description_ method in ring for some reason. While it seems like that method was never intended to be used directly, (and biscuit 0.5 doesn't do that anymore), this is technically a semver-breaking change in ring because a public API was removed on a minor version without any kind of deprecation notice.

Would you be willing to release a 0.16.17 that just reverts f06811a150fcded1555911678bbca6dcb5440cda to fix these versions of biscuit and whatever else is using description_ instead of Display? I can create a PR for that if you want.

Given that 0.16.16 was just released today and 0.17.x is in preparation, I'm guessing that this change was supposed to land in 0.17 and not affect the compilation of other projects.

(In case anyone need this, the simple workaround is to add ring = "= 0.16.15" somewhere in your dependencies)

Yes, I will do so.

This fix in PR #1108 landed. I'm going to keep this open until the release is published.

I have problem with building sqlx for arm with ring dependency.
After updating to version 0.16.16 it gives error when linking ring library. unexpected reloc type 0x03
More here: https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues/830

Could this be related?

I have also solved issue reverting to 0.16.15

[briansmith]

Fixed in 0.16.17, which I just published on crates.io
