Tracking: Breaking change in nightly toolchain 05.02.2024

[haerdib]

There's been a breaking change on rust toolchain nightly version 05.02.2024.

Important: do not update curve25519-dalek v4.1.1 to v4.1.2 before updating the rust toolchain to 05.02.24 or above, as it is not backwards compatible.

The following libraries must be updated to be able to go above toolchain 05.02.2024:

• curve25519-dalek to v4.1.1+, see Fix nightly build dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek#619
• ahash to v0.8.7 (see Remove build-time check for stdsimd feature tkaitchuck/aHash#183) or wait for merge of patch ahash 0.7.x to diable stdsimd in unsupported nightlies tkaitchuck/aHash#201.
• maybe more, we will see.

Currently blocked due to:

• ahash v0.7 required by hashbrown v0.12.3 required by ed25519-zebra v3.1.0 required by sp-core. So we can't update until Parity does or patch ahash 0.7.x to diable stdsimd in unsupported nightlies tkaitchuck/aHash#201 is merged.

Ahash patch has passed, that should fix other libraries.

Awesome, thank you very much for the heads up!

curve25519-dalek patch has also passed.

dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek#619

Please retest.

Works like a charm, thank you very much!
