Announcing Rust 1.85.0 and Rust 2024

I did “cargo fix —-edition” like the guide said and it added the word “ref” before variable names in certain places, which made the compiler complain. So I had to go through and remove them all.<p>So it may be easier to fix things manually than rely on cargo fix.

Hi! Does anyone know why I still, after updating `rustup` and the `edition` in `Cargo.toml`, need to run `cargo +nightly fmt `? I have a `rustfmt.toml` that contains this:<p><pre><code> imports_granularity = &quot;Crate&quot; group_imports = &quot;StdExternalCrate&quot; </code></pre> I assumed those would be in, as they&#x27;ve been nightly features for years, and we just got a new edition.

Huge! Async function traits resolve one of the biggest pain points for async rust.

Updated a 16k LOC project and had no issues at all.

Unfortunate that they didn&#x27;t ship the parallel front-end yet, solves my biggest issue with Rust right now.

This is the hugest release of Rust this far.

We are in 2025 already. Some other tool release their version N at the end of the year N-1.
