Rust 1.11 Announcement

    We are pleased to present the new version of Rust 1.11. Rust is a system programming language aimed at safe work with memory, speed and parallel code execution.


    As usual, you can install Rust 1.11 from the corresponding page of the official website, as well as familiarize yourself with a detailed list of changes in this version on GitHub. This release includes 1109 patches.


    What is included in the stable version 1.11


    In 1.11, we worked a lot on compiler internals that are not yet stable. We are pleased to announce that MIR will soon become the default translator, and we are taking the first steps towards incremental compilation . In release 1.11, we laid the foundation for this work.


    As for the changes visible to users, in the latest release we talked about a new type of container - cdylib.


    The existing format of dynamic libraries is dylibnow used only for dynamic libraries used in projects in Rust, and cdylibwill be used when compiling code in Rust for embedding in other languages. In release 1.10, it is cdylibsupported by the compiler, but Cargo is not yet supported. This format was defined in RFC 1510.

    So, in Rust 1.11, Cargo supports cdylibs ! By adding such code toCargo.toml


    crate-type = ["cdylib"]

    You will receive such a container.


    In the standard library, we changed the default hash function from SipHash 2-4 to SipHash 1-3. We have been thinking about this for a long time, starting with the initial solution to use 2-4:


    we proposed SipHash-2-4 as a (strong) PRF / MAC, and so far no attacks have been found on it, although many competent people have tried to break it. However, fewer rounds may be enough, and I would be very surprised if SipHash-1-3 would be vulnerable when used in hash tables.

    Remarks

    PRF
    MAC
