The rustup team is happy to announce the release of rustup version 1.28.1. Rustup is the recommended tool to install Rust, a programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software. Rustup Rust Challenges with rustup 1.28.0 rustup 1.28.0 was a significant release with many changes, and there was a quick response from many folks that this release broke their processes. While we considered yanking the release, we worried that this would cause problems for people who had already updated to adopt some of the changes. Instead, we are rolling forward with 1.28.1 today and potentially further bugfix releases to address the feedback that comes in. We value all constructive feedback -- please keep it coming in the issue tracker. In particular, the change with regard to implicit toolchain installation is being discussed in this issue. issue tracker this issue What's new in rustup 1.28.1 This release contains the following fixes: Automatic install is enabled by default but can be opted out by setting RUSTUP_AUTO_INSTALL environment variable to 0. pr#4214 pr#4227

As such, we recommend paying attention to the following potential issues in particular: Anti-malware scanners might be blocking rustup or stopping it from creating or copying files (especially when installing rust-docs, since it contains many small files).


In your CI environment, rustup might fail when trying to perform a self-update.
This is a known issue, and in the case where this issue does occur, we recommend applying the following workaround at the beginning of your workflow:
$ rustup set auto-self-update disable

Also, starting from 1.28.0, rustup will no longer attempt to self-update in CI environments, so this workaround should not be necessary in the future.

Thanks Thanks to the rustup and t-release team members who came together to quickly address these issues.
