Rust 1.97.1 is a point release that fixes a miscompilation caused by an LLVM optimization bug present since at least Rust 1.87. The fix combines an upstream LLVM correction with a revert of the problematic IR change that had shipped in 1.97.0.
The Rust team recommends updating via rustup and encourages testing beta and nightly channels to catch similar regressions earlier.
