Sounds like if this really is a failure of backwards compatibility, it is a failure of such for Cargo, not Rust. Does Cargo have the same backward compatibility

Sounds like if this really is a failure of backwards compatibility, it is a failure of such for Cargo, not Rust. Does Cargo have the same backward compatibility goals as Rust itself?
- steveklabnik 5y agoIt generally does, yes. Without more details, it is really hard to say what actually happened. I'm not aware of any breaking changes to the Cargo.toml format, though maybe I missed something. They may have also meant "a new dependency version broke", not literally that Cargo couldn't understand Cargo.toml. Need more details.
