Cannot install Rainicorn because rustc-serialize won't compile

[JordanLongstaff]

I tried running the following command as per the installation instructions:

cargo install --git https://github.com/RustDT/Rainicorn --tag version_1.x

It gave me the following output:

Updating git repository 'https://github.com/RustDT/Rainicorn'

Caused by: build failed

I believe rustc-serialize is deprecated at this point and is being replaced by serde.

I'm afraid I'm not gonna be working on Rainicorn anymore, since, as far as I know, only RustDT was using it (and I've archived RustDT). I don't think any other IDE or tool will pick this up, since the functionality has been superseded by RLS https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rls

I just compiled it with nightly-2017-12-12, probably any other version of similar date will work. But I will give RLS a try too. @bruno-medeiros thanks for RustDT, it helped me a lot in the past:-)
