# GoReleaser 2.5

This overview applies to target GoReleaser versions of at least `2.5`.

- Alpha Rust and Zig builders select `builder: rust` or `builder: zig`; `goreleaser init` detects `Cargo.toml` and `build.zig` projects.
- Rust builds use `cargo-zigbuild` by default and can select `cross`; Zig builds invoke `zig build`.
- AUR Sources publishing is available, and webhook announcers can define `expected_status_codes`.
- Ko can build once and publish to multiple registries.
- Deprecated `builds.gobinary` is represented by the language-neutral `builds.tool`; deprecated `kos.registry` is represented by `kos.registries`.
- Pro-only publishers accept `if` expressions.
