ReleasePort's take

Light signal
editorial:auto 8d

The release fixes a symlink prefix reuse and worktree escape vulnerability in gix‑worktree stream tests. It also updates all crates to the Rust 2024 edition and raises the MSRV for hash dependency updates.

Why it matters: Addresses a security‑critical bug (severity 40) affecting gix‑worktree streams; upgrading resolves the vulnerability. Updating to Rust 2024 edition requires projects to meet the raised minimum supported Rust version for hash dependencies.
