The Rust core team met yesterday and developed a complete plan for Rust to be
build with the previous stable compiler as snapshot. We will be landing the
infrastructure needed to do this shortly.
In terms of release timing, it will take some time for this change to fully
propagate. Our most recent Rust snapshot happened after the 1.8 beta, leading
to the following picture:
- Rust 1.8 -- already in beta; hits stable on Apr 14th
- Ad hoc snapshot
- Rust 1.9 -- builds from ad hoc snapshot
- Rust 1.10 -- builds from Rust 1.9 stable
The Rust 1.10 stable release will happen about 15 weeks from now, and under
this plan will be the first release to bootstrap this way.
Aaron, so going forward, Rust version N should always be buildable by
version N-1 (starting with N = 1.10)?
