1.1 KiB
Preface
This version of the text assumes you’re using Rust 1.62.0 (released 2022-06-30) or later with edition="2021" in Cargo.toml of all projects to use Rust 2021 Edition idioms. See “Installation” on page 1 to install or update Rust, and see Appendix E for information on editions.
The 2021 Edition of the Rust language includes a small number of improvements that make Rust more ergonomic and correct some inconsistencies. This rendition of the book has a number of improvements to address feedback:
• Chapter 7 contains a new quick reference section on organizing your code into
multiple files with modules.
• Chapter 13 has new and improved closure examples that more clearly illustrate
captures, the move keyword, and the Fn traits.
• We fixed a number of small errors and imprecise wording throughout the book.
Thank you to the readers who reported them!
Note that any code in earlier renditions of this book that compiled will continue to compile with the relevant edition in the project’s Cargo.toml, even as you update the Rust compiler version you’re using. That’s Rust’s backward compatibility guarantees at work!
