A stable builds required

[hostmaster]

Please provide a stable builds which will have corresponding to rust stable versions.

I've tried a Rust guide and I've got a bit weird situation when right now cargo build is not working with rust 0.11 and rust nightly build is broken for mac os x. So there is no simple convenient way for beginners like me experimenting with rust.

The next mac nightly should be fixed, since rust-lang/rust#17192 landed (it was just a temporary problem); sorry for the inconvenience!

[hostmaster]

NP. However the situation is a bit weird, there is a stable rust 0.11 but there is no corresponding version of cargo. It would be really nice to have a working version of both at least for beginners.

and btw nightly build doesn't supposed to be stable

@hostmaster, 0.11 is not a stable version, it is just a snapshot of nightlies. Until 1.0 there will be no stable version, so everyone uses nightlies. Unfortunately, sometimes nightlies do fail to compile, but this is fine as the language is not yet stable. You can compile your own build of Rust if you want, it is not that hard.

@netvl ok it is not stable it is the latest released version. Nightly build doesn't supposed to be stable so from my point of view it is convenient to have a working version of tool chain.

Rust 0.11.0 did not support many of the flags used by cargo, so cargo could not be used against rust 0.11.0. Until rustc becomes more stable, cargo requires a fairly up-to-date rustc.

Currently development in rust is all recommended to be close to master (using nightlies).
