The release team is also thinking about changes to our pre-release process: we'd love your feedback on this GitHub issue.
The "Cargo Update tar to 0.4.45" link in the release notes doesn't work as intended.
Heh, that footgun definition of
[Cargo]: https://crates.io
causing this issue is literally from around 1.0 actually. (Version 1.0.0-alpha (2015-01-09)).
Thanks for noting that! We'll probably leave it as-is in the release notes since rebuilding stable artifacts for a typo doesn't seem worth it, but we can fix in the forward port to mainline.
