Summary

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents

segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.

This package includes the Rust compiler and documentation generator.

Rust 1.56.1 adds a mitigation for CVE-2021-42574, the "trojan source" attack

that obfuscates code with BiDi control characters. The compiler will now error

on such characters in code comments and string/char literals. For more details,

see the upstream [security advisory](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/11/01/cve-2021-42574.html).
