| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The Rust team has published a new point release of Rust, 1.91.1. Rust is a |
| 12 | +programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and |
| 13 | +efficient software. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +If you have a previous version of Rust installed via rustup, getting Rust |
| 16 | +1.91.1 is as easy as: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | +rustup update stable |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +If you don't have it already, you can [get `rustup`][rustup] from the |
| 23 | +appropriate page on our website. |

| 27 | +## What's in 1.91.1 |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Rust 1.91.1 includes fixes for two regressions introduced in the 1.91.0 release. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### *"Import module mismatch"* linker errors on WASM |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Most targets supported by Rust identify symbols by their name, but WASM |
| 34 | +identifies them with a symbol name *and* a module name. The |
| 35 | +[`#[link(wasm_import_module)]`][wasm_import_module] attribute allows to |
| 36 | +customize the module name an `extern` block refers to: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```rust |
| 39 | +#[link(wasm_import_module = "hello")] |
| 40 | +extern "C" { |
| 41 | + pub fn world(); |
| 42 | +} |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Rust 1.91.0 introduced a regression in the attribute, causing linker failures |
| 46 | +with the "import module mismatch" error (at either compile time or runtime, |
| 47 | +depending on the linking configuration) when a symbol within a module had the |
| 48 | +same name as symbols in other modules or non-WASM symbols. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Rust 1.91.1 fixes the regression. More details are available in [issue #148347]. |

| 55 | +### Cargo target directory locking broken on illumos |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Cargo relies on locking the `target/` directory during a build to prevent |
| 58 | +concurrent invocations of Cargo from interfering with each other. Not all |
| 59 | +filesystems support locking (most notably some networked ones): if the OS |
| 60 | +returns the `Unsupported` error, Cargo assumes locking is not supported and |
| 61 | +proceeds without it. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Cargo 1.91.0 switched from custom code interacting with the OS APIs to the |
| 64 | +[`File::lock`] standard library method (recently stabilized in Rust 1.89.0). Due |
| 65 | +to an oversight, that method always returned `Unsupported` on the illumos |
| 66 | +target, causing Cargo to never lock the build directory on illumos regardless of |
| 67 | +whether the filesystem supported it. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Rust 1.91.1 fixes the oversight in the standard library by enabling the |
| 70 | +[`File::lock`] family of functions on illumos, indirectly fixing the Cargo |
| 71 | +regression. |

| 75 | +### Contributors to 1.91.1 |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +Many people came together to create Rust 1.91.1. We couldn't have done it |
| 78 | +without all of you. [Thanks!](https://thanks.rust-lang.org/rust/1.91.1/) |
