Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Fedora Helix editor enhancement introduces an upgraded Sys trait and advanced I/O error management; however, it also brings forth security issues that require careful consideration.
rust-which 8.0.0 Add new Sys trait to allow abstracting over the underlying filesystem

Summary

A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.

Update Information:

rust-which 8.0.0 Add new Sys trait to allow abstracting over the underlying filesystem. Particularly useful for wasm32-unknown-unknown targets. Thanks @dsherret for this contribution to which! Add more debug level tracing for otherwise silent I/O errors. Call the NonFatalHandler in more places to catch previously ignored I/O errors. Remove use of the either dependency.
