§Version 1.59.0 (2022-02-24)

§Language

§Compiler

This release disables incremental compilation, unless the user has explicitly opted in via the newly added RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1 environment variable. This is due to a known and relatively frequently occurring bug in incremental compilation, which causes builds to issue internal compiler errors. This particular bug is already fixed on nightly, but that fix has not yet rolled out to stable and is deemed too risky for a direct stable backport.

As always, we encourage users to test with nightly and report bugs so that we can track failures and fix issues earlier.

§Version 1.52.1 (2021-05-10)

This release disables incremental compilation, unless the user has explicitly opted in via the newly added RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1 environment variable.

This is due to the widespread, and frequently occurring, breakage encountered by Rust users due to newly enabled incremental verification in 1.52.0. Notably, Rust users should upgrade to 1.52.0 or 1.52.1: the bugs that are detected by newly added incremental verification are still present in past stable versions, and are not yet fixed on any channel. These bugs can lead to miscompilation of Rust binaries.

These problems only affect incremental builds, so release builds with Cargo should not be affected unless the user has explicitly opted into incremental. Debug and check builds are affected.

See 84970 for more details.
