RUST 1.96 LANDS, BOOTSTRAP BUMPS TO 1.97.0-BETA.2

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Rust

The compiler moved forward overnight. Stage0 is now 1.97.0-beta.2, `-Zwarnings` dropped in favor of stable cargo `build.warnings`, and the ecosystem is tracking the latest.

Rust's bootstrap pipeline shifted two notches forward [1]. The stage0 bump to 1.97.0-beta.2 touched version placeholders and bootstrap cfg guards across the tree [2]. Cargo stabilized the `build.warnings` flag, so the unstable `-Zwarnings` option is now dead weight [3]. Meanwhile, the blog repo is already building against Rust 1.96.0 [4], meaning the May 28 release is live in the ecosystem. On the compiler side, two rollups landed with precision work: directory handle APIs got a `Dir::metadata()` method, rustdoc's synthetic trait cache got separated out, and the internal exhaustive-pattern tracking switched from bool to a custom enum [5]. The cargo team kept CI current with typos v1.47.0 across multiple repos [6] and bumped cargo-semver-checks to 0.48.0 [7]. One infrastructure fix matters more than the others: `/manifests.txt` responses on static.rust-lang.org weren't getting tagged with the purge key, so release updates weren't actually clearing the cache [8]. That's now fixed.
