Understand it, then run it

The Rust team announced that version 1.97.1 is ready for pre‑release testing. The announcement is a status update, not a language feature. It tells you that the pre‑release build is available and that the final release is scheduled for the next day. If you want to try the new compiler before the official release, you can use the command shown in the post.
