"GitHub will soon discontinue the provision of free macOS x86-64 runners for public repositories, while Apple has announced plans to discontinue support for the x86-64 architecture, the Rust team noted. The team added that this change will not immediately impact users. Builds of both the standard library and the compiler still will be distributed by the Rust Project for use via rustup or alternative installation methods while the target remains at Tier 2."
"Also in Rust 1.90, the x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu target now will use the LLD linker for linking Rust crates by default. The release team said this should result in improved linking performance versus the default BFD Linux linker. Developers should not see any difference other than reduced compilation time. But if they do experience issues, developers can opt out by using the -C linker-features=-lld compiler flag, the Rust team said."
Rust 1.90 changes target support levels and linking defaults. The x86_64-apple-darwin target is demoted from Tier 1 with host tools to Tier 2 with host tools. GitHub will discontinue free macOS x86-64 runners for public repositories and Apple plans to end x86-64 architecture support. The change will not immediately impact users. Builds of the standard library and compiler will continue to be distributed via rustup or other installers while the target is Tier 2. Over time reduced coverage may cause breakage or compatibility loss. The x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu target now uses the LLD linker by default, improving link performance, with an opt-out flag -C linker-features=-lld.
