## MSRV

MSRV is updated according to the [Ardaku MSRV guidelines], so it will only get
updated on minor and major version bumps.  All 2.x releases will be maintained
with bugfixes until the end of 2027 at minimum.  Past MSRV bumps and future
plans:

- WhoAmI 2.3: Rust 1.95 MSRV (bump to get `cfg_select! {}` to make FFI code
   prettier)
 - WhoAmI 2.2: Rust 1.85 MSRV (bump to get the 2024 edition, pull in nix, etc.)
 - WhoAmI 2.1: Rust 1.75 MSRV (bump for new lang features, faster CI, pull in
   libc, etc.)
 - WhoAmI 2.0: Rust 1.65 MSRV (support based on original 2.0 plan)
 - WhoAmI 1.x: Rust 1.40 MSRV (old MSRV policy, maintained until end of 2025 at
   minimum)

Target-Specific MSRVs:

- When the `std` feature is disabled, WhoAmI bumps the MSRV to Rust 1.81 for
   the WhoAmI 2.0 and WhoAmI 2.1 release tracks.  This feature should usually
   stay enabled, unless you have a specific use-case targeting no-std.

## Binary
