Update with: rustup update stable
Full notes: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/04/16/R...
More const stability: fmt::from_fn, ControlFlow::is_break/continue, and useful Layout methods like repeat, extend_packed, dangling_ptr.
Plus: destabilized JSON target specs on stable (mostly affects advanced users), and the usual Cargo/Clippy improvements.
Tons of new stabilized APIs including:
- Atomic*::update / try_update methods
- Better MaybeUninit and Cell array conversions
- Vec::push_mut, insert_mut and equivalents for VecDeque/LinkedList
- bool::TryFrom<integer>
- Pointer as_ref_unchecked / as_mut_unchecked
if let guards in match expressions. Building on let chains, you can now do powerful pattern-based conditionals directly in matches!
Huge for readability in complex matching scenarios.
cfg_select!. The long-awaited built-in alternative to the popular cfg-if crate!
Write compile-time conditional code with clean, match-like syntax. No more crate dependency for basic cfg logic.
Example:

Rust 1.95.0 Set for Release Today!

I use this constantly when implementing arenas, intrusive linked lists, or custom Box-like types.
Check out ManuallyDrop docs.

This Week's Rust Tip
ManuallyDrop + ptr::write for move out without drop pattern
Want to move a value out of a struct without dropping the rest? Combine ManuallyDrop with ptr::read/write.
You know what’s underrated about Rust?
Refactoring doesn’t feel scary.
The compiler basically walks you through it like:
“fix this, this, and this, you’re good.”

Eyre is open-source at github.com/eyre-rs/eyre.
- Clean context wrapping: wrap_err() and wrap_err_with() turn vague errors into readable failure chains that actually help humans.
- Zero-cost ergonomics: Full ? operator support, eyre! and bail! macros, plus downcasting when you do need to poke at specific error types.
