Exciting changes are coming to Rust! With the release of Rust 1.88.0, the i686-pc-windows-gnu target is moving from Tier 1 to Tier 2. This means that while builds will still be available for both the standard library and the compiler, the focus will shift a bit. For developers using Windows, this shift highlights the ongoing evolution of Rust's support for different toolchains, particularly the choice between MSVC and GNU. The GNU-based toolchain is especially popular for those who prioritize cross-compilation and open-source licensing. What do you think about this change? How does using a Tier 2 target impact your development workflow? Let’s discuss!
