Version 1.5 of the Rust programming language implementation is now available.

The main change with Rust 1.5 is now supporting the cargo install sub-command so that Rust's cargo is more like a package manager and easily allows installing application packages on the system. It's described as a new, painless way to distribute Rust applications.

Besides the Cargo work, Rust 1.5 stable also has a number of library API stabilization improvements, some improvements to compile times, smaller crate meta-data, and other fixes.

More details on Rust 1.5 can be found via Rust-Lang.org.
