Rust is a +programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and +efficient software. + +If you have a previous version of Rust installed via rustup, getting Rust +1.91.1 is as easy as: + +``` +rustup update stable +``` + +If you don't have it already, you can [get `rustup`][rustup] from the +appropriate page on our website. + +[rustup]: https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html + +## What's in 1.91.1 + +Rust 1.91.1 includes fixes for two regressions introduced in the 1.91.0 release. + +### Linker and runtime errors on Wasm + +Most targets supported by Rust identify symbols by their name, but Wasm +identifies them with a symbol name *and* a Wasm module name. The +[`#[link(wasm_import_module)]`][wasm_import_module] attribute allows to +customize the Wasm module name an `extern` block refers to: + +```rust +#[link(wasm_import_module = "hello")] +extern "C" { + pub fn world(); +} +``` + +Rust 1.91.0 introduced a regression in the attribute, which could cause linker +failures during compilation (*"import module mismatch"* errors) or the wrong +function being used at runtime (leading to undefined behavior, including crashes +and silent data corruption). This happened when the same symbol name was +imported from two different Wasm modules across multiple Rust crates. + +Rust 1.91.1 fixes the regression. More details are available in [issue #148347]. + +[wasm_import_module]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/external-blocks.html#r-items.extern.attributes.link.wasm_import_module +[issue #148347]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/148347 + +### Cargo target directory locking broken on illumos + +Cargo relies on locking the `target/` directory during a build to prevent +concurrent invocations of Cargo from interfering with each other. Not all +filesystems support locking (most notably some networked ones): if the OS +returns the `Unsupported` error when attempting to lock, Cargo assumes locking +is not supported and proceeds without it. + +Cargo 1.91.0 switched from custom code interacting with the OS APIs to the +[`File::lock`] standard library method (recently stabilized in Rust 1.89.0). Due +to an oversight, that method always returned `Unsupported` on the illumos +target, causing Cargo to never lock the build directory on illumos regardless of +whether the filesystem supported it. + +Rust 1.91.1 fixes the oversight in the standard library by enabling the +[`File::lock`] family of functions on illumos, indirectly fixing the Cargo +regression. + +[`File::lock`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/fs/struct.File.html#method.lock + +### Contributors to 1.91.1 + +Many people came together to create Rust 1.91.1. We couldn't have done it +without all of you. [Thanks!](https://thanks.rust-lang.org/rust/1.91.1/)
