cycle with a post on the Inside Rust blogcycle without oneDays are from the Rust release to the crate on crates.io.
Cargo 0.100.0 went up on crates.io on 1 October 2026 with Rust 1.99. The crate number runs one ahead of the Rust minor it ships in, and since February 2024 every one has landed within four days of its Rust release.
The cargo team's This Development Cycle in Cargo posts covered 15 of the 24 cycles from 1.76 to 1.99. The last one is for 1.94 and went up on 18 February 2026. Cycles 1.95 to 1.99 shipped without one, so the crate is at three digits and the running commentary on it has gone quiet.
As of 24 October 2026.
