The format of the new section is modeled after the cargo docs, for example:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html#profile-settings
This is mostly a reorganization of the existing content to make it
easier to scan for relevant details, but a few new details have also
been added:
channel
, the format is now explained in the same format as inconcepts/toolchains.md, but with the more limited form that
rust-toolchain.toml
accepts. This is based on the text that washere previously; I haven't verified if the code is actually this
strict.
profile
section mentions that the default profile is notnecessarily the profile named
default
, which is subtle detail thatcan be confusing.
components
section notes that the list is additive with theprofile's list of components.
targets
field is now documented, previously it wasn't mentionedother than to say it's ignored with
path
.
