Cargo's adopting a faster hashing algorithm to cut build time noise, while Miri refactors its virtual socket implementation to match the codebase's established patterns.

Cargo is replacing SipHasher with Fxhasher in its hottest HashMap and HashSet instances [1], a move born from performance profiling that showed SipHasher was a measurable drag on bors builds. This is the kind of surgical optimization that compounds across millions of builds. Meanwhile, Miri is consolidating private socket methods into an EvalContextPrivExt trait [2], eliminating inconsistency across shims. A major rollup merged to rust-lang/rust [3] pulls in 21 PRs including BorrowSanitizer retag support and improved E0277 diagnostics, plus MIR type cleanup that strips unnecessary Hash derives [4]. TypeVisitable got generalized to handle boxed slices and fixed-size arrays [5]. Rustup's dependency locks refreshed this cycle [9]. On the crates.io index, rlg-cli, vtcode-commons, and rdif-reset saw updates [6] [7] [8].
