Rust 1.96 is now the latest release

endoflife.date now lists Rust 1.96 as the latest supported release, with 1.95 already out of support.

Rust’s release tracker was updated on 04 June 2026 and shows Rust 1.96.0, released on 28 May 2026, as the current version. The same page marks 1.95 as ended and records 1.94.1, 1.93.1, and earlier patch releases in the stable history.

What changed

The page is an end-of-life snapshot, not a changelog. Its main update is version status: Rust 1.96 is current, while 1.95 has moved to ended support and older releases continue to age out in sequence.

For teams tracking upgrade windows, the page makes the support cadence easy to scan. It shows the latest patch version for each stable line and the date each line stopped being supported.

• 1.96.0 is the latest release, dated 28 May 2026.
• 1.95.0 released on 16 Apr 2026 and is now ended.
• 1.94.1, 1.93.1, 1.92.0, and 1.91.1 are listed as the latest patch releases for their lines.
• The tracker marks support status for each release line, helping teams see what is still safe to run.

Why it matters

For developers, the page is a quick check on whether a Rust toolchain is current or already past support. That matters for CI images, build servers, and production services where pinned compiler versions can linger long after a new stable release ships.

For platform teams, the support history helps set upgrade policy. If you manage Rust across multiple repos, the list shows how quickly old stable branches fall out of support and where your next maintenance task should land.

The practical takeaway: Rust 1.96 is the version to target now, and 1.95 should already be in the upgrade queue.
