+A big part of the Rusty Playdate project is the [`cargo-playdate`][cargo-playdate gh] tool that functions as a build system.
+It works as a cargo-plugin as well as a standalone, and does several things:
+- It manages the compilation of your program,
- builds assets for the crate and its dependencies,
- generates a manifest,
- and assembles it all into a bundle that runs on the device or a simulator.
In this month `cargo-playdate` v0.5 has been [released][Rusty Playdate Release] and received massive refactoring, bugfixes and new features:
-- support of [cargo's auto-targets][cargo-target-auto-discovery] _(targets such as `bin` or `example` that aren't declared in the Cargo.toml)_
-- [target-specific package-info][pdb-pdxinfo-override] inheritance from the main package-info
-- `package.metadata.playdate.options` inheritance from the `workspace.metadata`
-- incremental builds now work as expected - fixed an old problem where the tool corrupts cargo's cache, which triggered full rebuild
