Public bug reported: Rust 1.94 was released on 5 March, 2026. A great deal of packages in the Ubuntu archive rely on Rust to build properly, and as time passes, the minimal supported Rust version (MSRV) of crucial Rust-based packages increases.
1.91 stabilizes many RISCV target features, and fixes some overly-strict lifetime errors with closures. It also updates to Unicode 17, meaning you can now program Rust using 4 new writing systems plus the Bigfoot emoji. See releases.rs[1] for a full changelog. In the 26.04 Roadmap, the target Rust version is 1.93, not 1.94! This update is just to get ahead of the game. As always, we try to make new Rust versions available as they are released.
