Understand it, then run it
Rust 1.85.1 is a patch release. Patch releases fix bugs and improve the compiler and standard library without adding new features. The change does not alter any syntax or APIs you use. It simply makes the language more stable and reliable.
Run it now
// This program demonstrates that Rust 1.85.1 is a patch release
// with no new language features. It simply compiles and runs
// using the current stable compiler.
fn main() {
println!("Rust 1.85.1 is a patch release with no new features.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Rust 1.85.1 is a patch release with no new features.
Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
