New Features in Rustup 1.26.0
This rustup release is packed with a significant number of internal cleanups that cover both the Rustup code and its tests. Given the span since the last release, there was an unprecedented number of contributors, whose tireless efforts and commitment deserve sincere appreciation.
The major breakthroughs of this release are:
- Rust-analyzer as a Proxy: The new update enables you to call the rust-analyzer, and it will be relayed to the rust-analyzer component for the current toolchain.
- Upgraded Clap Dependency: The version of clap dependency has been escalated from 2.x to 3.x. While this signifies a major version jump, it has brought about certain help text modifications, keeping the command-line interface intact.
- Elimination of Experimental GPG Signature Validation: The ‘rustup show keys’ command and the experimental GPG signature validation have been abolished due to multiple issues identified with its implementation. The Rustup Working Group is currently developing a new signature validation scheme, to be rolled out in the future.
The detailed list of changes, enhancements, and improvements are available in the official changelog.
