Let's go ahead and update that with the current schedule, priorities,
and status.

| Release version | 1.82.0 (anticipated) |
| Release version | 1.85.0 (anticipated) |

The Rust 2024 Edition is currently slated for release in Rust 1.82.0.
Rust 1.82.0 will be in beta for six weeks,
after which it is released as stable on October 17th.
The Rust 2024 Edition is scheduled to be frozen on 2024-10-17, stabilized on nightly on 2024-11-28, and released as stable with Rust 1.85.0 on 2025-02-20. In more detail, the currently anticipated release schedule is:

However, note that Rust is a project run by volunteers.
We prioritize the personal well-being of everyone working on Rust
over any deadlines and expectations we might have set.
This could mean delaying the edition a version if necessary,
or dropping a feature that turns out to be too difficult or stressful to finish in time.
| Date | Version | Edition stage |
|------------|---------------|--------------------------------|
| 2024-10-11 | Branch v1.83 | Go / no go on all items |
| 2024-10-17 | Release v1.82 | Rust 2024 nightly beta |
| 2024-11-22 | Branch v1.84 | Prepare to stabilize... |
| 2024-11-28 | Release v1.83 | Stabilize Rust 2024 on master |
| 2025-01-03 | Branch v1.85 | Cut Rust 2024 to beta |
| 2025-01-09 | Release v1.84 | Announce Rust 2024 is pending! |
| 2025-02-20 | Release v1.85 | Release Rust 2024 |

That said, we are on schedule and many of the difficult problems are already tackled,
thanks to all the people contributing to Rust 2024! 💛
Our motivating priorities for this edition are to:

- Make *this* edition a success.
- Do so without requiring heroics from anyone.
- ...or stressing anyone or everyone out.

Consequently, it's possible that things could change if needed so as to better adhere to those guiding priorities. This is a project run by volunteers.

However, at the moment, **the edition is on track**.
