[0.3.22] - 2021-10-24

[0.3.20] - 2021-09-25

[0.3.18] - 2020-07-11

Fixed

• Use env::var_os() almost everywhere to handle non-UTF8 paths in environment variables, and also improve error handling around environment variable handling (#106).

Changed

• Default the env_metadata build parameter to true instead of false. Whenever a pkg-config related environment variable changes it would make sense to rebuild crates that use pkg-config, or otherwise changes might not be picked up. As such the previous default didn't make much sense (#105).
