Query latest version from a registry index

The registry argument must be specified for crates from alternative registries.

The latest version will be returned as a Dependency. This will fail, when

  • there is no Internet connection and offline is false.
  • summaries in registry index with an incorrect format.
  • a crate with the given name does not exist on the registry.
