Experience faster, more reliable builds with Cargo's new sparse registry protocol

With the Rust team's announcement of the 1.68.0 version of Rust, Cloudsmith is happy to announce our support for the new "sparse" registry protocol, which has been stabilized as part of version 1.68.0.

Cargo is the package manager for Rust, a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software. Cloudsmith customers who migrate to the new beta "sparse" registry implementation will dramatically improve the speed and reliability of their builds.

Migrating to the new protocol

We recommend Cloudsmith customers migrate to the new beta "sparse" registry implementation as soon as possible. Customers with 1000s of packages in their registries will see a dramatic improvement in the speed and reliability of their builds. The only migration requirement is that you're using Rust 1.68 or nightly. You can find setup instructions in the documentation in your repositories.

For more details on what has changed, please read our blog post. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the Cloudsmith team.
