Announcing Rustup 1.27.0

Mar. 11, 2024 · The Rustup Team

The rustup team is happy to announce the release of rustup version 1.27.0. Rustup is the recommended tool to install Rust, a programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

If you have a previous version of rustup installed, getting rustup 1.27.0 is as easy as stopping any programs which may be using Rustup (e.g. closing your IDE) and running:

$ rustup self update

Rustup will also automatically update itself at the end of a normal toolchain update:

$ rustup update

If you don't have it already, you can get rustup from the appropriate page on our website.

What's new in rustup 1.27.0

This long-awaited Rustup release has gathered all the new features and fixes since April 2023. These changes include improvements in Rustup's maintainability, user experience, compatibility and documentation quality.

Also, it's worth mentioning that Dirkjan Ochtman (djc) and rami3l (rami3l) have joined the team and are coordinating this new release.

At the same time, we have granted Daniel Silverstone (kinnison) and 二手掉包工程师 (hi-rustin) their well-deserved alumni status in this release cycle. Kudos for your contributions over the years and your continuous guidance on maintaining the project!

The headlines for this release are:

  1. Basic support for the fish shell has been added. If you're using fish, PATH configs for your Rustup installation will be added automatically from now on.

    Please note that this will only take effect on installation, so if you have already installed Rustup on your machine, you will need to reinstall it. For example, if you have installed Rustup via rustup.rs, simply follow rustup.rs's instructions again; if you have installed Rustup using some other method, you might want to reinstall it using that same method.

  2. Rustup support for loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu as a host platform has been added. This means you should be able to install Rustup via rustup.rs and no longer have to rely on loongnix.cn or self-compiled installations.

    Please note that as of March 2024, loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu is a "tier 2 platform with host tools", so Rustup is guaranteed to build for this platform. According to Rust's target tier policy, this does not imply that these builds are also guaranteed to work, but they often work to quite a good degree and patches are always welcome!

Full details are available in the changelog!

Rustup's documentation is also available in the rustup book.
