Announcing mrustc 0.11.0 - With rust 1.74 support!
Source code: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/tree/v0.11.0
After over a year of (on-and-off) work, 250 commits with 18k additions and 7k deletions - mrustc now supports rust 1.74, with bootstrap tested to be binary equal on my linux mint machine.
If you're interested in the things that needed to change for to go from 1.54 to 1.74 support, take a look at https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/blob/v0.11.0/Notes/UpgradeQuirks.txt#L54
What's next? It's really tempting to get started on 1.84 support, but on the other hand mrustc has become quite slow with this recent set of changes, so maybe doing some profiling and optimisation would be a better idea.
As a side note, this also marks a little over ten years since the first commit to mrustc (22nd November 2014, and just before midnight - typical). A very long time to have been working on a project, but it's also an almost 150 thousand line project maybe that's the right amount of time.
