Update lsd to Rust version 2024/1.85 and update certain associated crate's versions

[wbeebe]

August 2025

This is how 1.1.5 builds with cargo build and the beginning messages that it produces (see below).

Built with Rust 1.89 under Ubuntu 25.04 on a Raspberry Pi 5

Based on the messages output above, I've performed the following actions:

• Stepped lsd's version to 1.2.0
• Stepped up to a more current Rust release:
  • Updated Rust edition to 2024
  • Updated minimum Rust to version 1.85
• Then, from the cargo build output:
  • Updated clap to version 4.5.*
  • Updated clap_complete to version 4.5.*
  • Updated crossterm to version 0.29.0
  • Updated dirs to version 6
  • Updated git2 to version 0.20
  • Updated lscolors to version 0.20.0
  • Updated terminal_size to version 0.4.*
  • Updated thiserror to version 2.0
  • Updated unicode-width to version 0.2
• Finally, from Cargo.toml:
  • Updated chrono to version 0.4
  • Updated once_cell to version 1.21
  • updated wild to version 2.2

Everything else didn't change.

Build errors with term_grid version 0.2

When attempting to step up to term_grid version 0.2, the following errors were produced:

...
error[E0063]: missing field `alignment` in initializer of `term_grid::Cell`
   --> src/display.rs:137:24
    |
137 |             cells.push(Cell {
    |                        ^^^^ missing `alignment`

error[E0063]: missing field `alignment` in initializer of `term_grid::Cell`
   --> src/display.rs:224:18
    |

    |                  ^^^^ missing `alignment`

    |                        ^^^^ missing `alignment`

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0063`.
error: could not compile `lsd` (bin "lsd") due to 3 previous errors

As a consequence term_grid is left at version 0.1

Build errors with xdg version 3.0

When attempting to steup up to xdg version 3.0, the following errors were produced:

...
   Compiling git2 v0.18.3
error[E0599]: no method named `ok` found for struct `BaseDirectories` in the current scope
   --> src/config_file.rs:184:18
    |
183 | /             BaseDirectories::with_prefix("")
184 | |                 .ok()
    | |                 -^^ method not found in `BaseDirectories`
    | |_________________|
    |

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0599`.
error: could not compile `lsd` (bin "lsd") due to 1 previous error

As a consequence xdg is left at version 2.5

Conclusion and Way Forward

• This has been an exercise in initially bringing lsd closer to current Rust and crate releases. So far the version of lsd with these updates seems to work as before, but the reader should realize my testing is limited at best.
• A way needs to be found to eliminate dependence upon the term-grid crate and to incorporate the needed functionality within lsd in order to stay up with Rust's evolving standards.
• The API has changed within xdg from version 2.5 to version 3.0. If the code depending upon the version 2.5 API is within lsd then it should be updated to use the version 3.0 API.

Hi @wbeebe, we also depend on GitHub action to do tests, could you also help to update the CI rust version in .github/workflows/CICD.yml

I did.

Unless I hear from someone in the next 24 hours, I will close this pull request, rename my copy of lsd to something different and release it on my own. I'll clean up all documentation on my version accordingly.

oops, sorry for the late, i have saw the CI previously, and want to fix the issues and push to your branch, but did not make time to do so.
sorry for the unpleased exp.

after a rethought, maybe we can merge this and fix the head step by step since there indeed has some break in upstream libs.

let me reopen the pr and merge this first, and we can fix the head together.
