Rust 1.96.0
This release introduces several language and compiler enhancements, including support for s390x vector registers in inline assembly and improved handling of `cfg` metavariables. It also stabilizes APIs like `assert_matches!` and `debug_assert_matches!`, and addresses security vulnerabilities with fixes for CVEs.
affected
Developers using `avr` targets or relying on `BTreeMap::append()` with incorrect `Ord` impls may be affected by breaking changes.
action
Update dependencies and review code for compatibility with breaking changes, especially on `avr` targets.
release_signals
-On `avr` targets, `c_double` is now `f32` to match C's 32-bit `double` type
-Importing structs with `::{self [as name]}` is no longer permitted
-`BTreeMap::append()` may now cause panics for types with incorrect `Ord` impls
