Version
1.60.0 of the Rust language is available. Changes include
coverage-testing improvements, the return of incremental compilation, and
changes to the Instant type:

Prior to 1.60, the monotonicity guarantees were provided through
mutexes or atomics in std, which can introduce large performance
overheads to Instant::now(). Additionally, the panicking behavior
meant that Rust software could panic in a subset of environments,
which was largely undesirable, as the authors of that software may
not be able to fix or upgrade the operating system, hardware, or
virtualization system they are running on.
