Standardize version management across multi-crate Rust projects by using workspace versioning. This reduces duplication and ensures consistency across all crates in your project.

Implementation:

  1. Define the version once in the workspace Cargo.toml:
    [workspace]
    version = "0.1.0"
    
  2. Reference this version in each crate’s Cargo.toml:
    [package]
    name = "your-crate-name"
    version = { workspace = true }
    

This approach centralizes version management, making it easier to release coordinated updates across all crates while maintaining a consistent configuration structure.
