Rust 1.95 Released With Several Improvements

([Programming] 3 Hours Ago Rust 1.95)


Rust 1.95 was released to the wild today as the latest feature update to this popular programming language.

Rust 1.95 brings the new cfg_select! macro that serves the same purpose as the cfg-if crate. This cfg_select! acts similar to a compile-time match on cfg's.

Rust 1.95 also adds in if-let guards into match expressions, stabilizes a number of APIs, and various other changes.

The Linux kernel for its part has already been [1]preparing for Rust 1.95 .

More details on the Rust 1.95 changes can be found via the announcement on [2]Rust-Lang.org .
