Understand it, then run it

Cargo 1.94 is the next planned release of the Rust package manager. The Cargo team announced the development cycle that will run over the next six weeks, roughly the time it takes to merge changes into the upcoming Rust 1.94 release. The announcement lists the topics the team will focus on, such as how Cargo builds projects, how it logs information, and how it handles configuration files. It also mentions that Cargo will support the newer TOML 1.1 format, which allows new syntax in Cargo.toml files. No new language feature or library change is introduced in this announcement.

// This program demonstrates that Cargo 1.94 has no new public API changes.
// It simply prints a message confirming that the current Cargo behavior
// remains the same as before the announcement.

fn main() {
    println!("Cargo 1.94 development cycle announced – no new API changes yet.");
}

What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)

Cargo 1.94 development cycle announced – no new API changes yet.

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.
