v0.4.0

The v0.4.0 milestone contains a full list of all changes.

Added

• #306: The LintPass trait now as a new check_crate method.
• #294: Items and fields now provide information about their visibility

Fixed

• #306: Rustc's driver no longer ICEs on spans from compiler generated code.

Breaking Changes

• #278: Moved the span() method from the inherent impl to HasSpan trait for ClosureParam, FnParam, StructFieldPat.
• #278: The trait TyData no longer has own span() method, but instead requires HasSpan as a supertrait.
• #278: All public methods that took &Span as a parameter now take impl HasSpan. This is a minor breaking change, as &Span implements HasSpan, but if you relied on type inference based on the function parameter type, then making a method generic may break your code.
• #288: Lint identifiers use the lint crate name as a new infix, to prevent name collisions across lint crates.
• #306: The items of a Crate are now wrapped in a ModItem, that is the root module of the crate.
• #309: Renamed CallExpr::operand to CallExpr::func
• #309: Renamed RefPat::pattern() -> RefPat::pat()
• #309: Renamed OrPat::patterns() -> RefPat::pats()
