Backporting the fix for the never type fallback change

[WaffleLapkin]

Hey! In rust-lang/rust#155499 (comment) we did a crater run with a change to the never type fallback, which is a breaking change. We found that it breaks a few crates that depend on old versions of picky-asn1-x509.

The newer versions already have a fix for the problem, namely d65d6d6.

Would you be willing to release backports of the fix as patch versions to older versions? That would mean affected crates can fix their issues by just running cargo update. I can help with the backports, but the releases need to be done by someone with permissions to make them :)

The distribution of failures per version of picky-asn1-x509 is: 0.3.2 (1), 0.6.1 (6), 0.9.0 (3), 0.12.0 (35), 0.13.0 (1); It would be most valuable to release backports as 0.12.x.

Hello!

Thank you for the heads-up!

I published patch versions to older versions:

• 0.6.2
• 0.9.1
• 0.12.1
• 0.13.1

This was not straightforward for 0.3.2, so I abandoned the idea since it’s affecting only a single crate.

Is it good for you? =)

Yes, thank you so much!
