Release notes

Bump the MSRV to Rust 1.60.0

Open source →
0.1.100 27 May 2026 withdrawn
Release notes
This release was yanked because the MSRV bump to 1.74.0 was too aggressive for some users. See version 0.1.101 for a smaller upgrade to 1.60.0.
- Bump MSRV to Rust 1.74.0 #6126
Note the version number jump. We jumped to v0.1.100 when doing the MSRV bump so as to leave room for a bunch of secuity releases up to this number if needed
