This is a great perspective: bug reports should be clear, with reproduction instructions, but they need to be persuasive too.

It's a small thing, but I'm much happier with --version in the latest version of difftastic.
It shows the release number and the commit date. This gives you a reproducible build with age info.
It also shows OS, arch and compiler, because those are useful in bug reports.

It shows the release version number, the commit hash, and the commit date. This gives you a sense of the age of release, but you still have a reproducible build (unlike build time).

TIL that Rust has a (i) icon that shows relevant traits that a type implements. This is useful to understand that e.g. .iter() on a Vec<T> iterates with &T.

It looks like one of my bug reports was mentioned, so I'm delighted but wish I'd noticed earlier!
