+title: "Announcing Rustup 1.24.0"
+author: The Rustup Working Group
+---
+
+The rustup working group is happy to announce the release of rustup version 1.24.0. [Rustup][install] is the recommended tool to install [Rust][rust], a programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
+
+If you have a previous version of rustup installed, getting rustup 1.24.0 is as easy as closing your IDE and running:
+
+```
+rustup self update
+```
+
+Rustup will also automatically update itself at the end of a normal toolchain update:
+
+```
+rustup update
+```
+
+If you don't have it already, you can [get rustup][install] from the appropriate page on our website.
+

+[install]: https://rustup.rs
+
+## What's new in rustup 1.24.0
+
+### Support of `rust-toolchain.toml` as a filename for specifying toolchains.
+
+Last year we released a new `toml` format for the `rust-toolchain` file. In order to bring Rustup closer into line with Cargo's behaviour around `.cargo/config` we now support the `.toml` extension for that file. If you call the toolchain file `rust-toolchain.toml` then you _must_ use the `toml` format, rather than the legacy one-line format.
+
+If both `rust-toolchain` and `rust-toolchain.toml` are present, then the former will win out over the latter to ensure compatibility between Rustup versions.
+
+### Better support for low-memory systems
+
+Rustup's component unpacker has been changed to have a smaller memory footprint when unpacking large components. This should permit users of memory-constrained systems such as some Raspberry Pi systems to install newer Rust toolchains which contain particularly large files.
+
+### Better support for Windows Add/Remove programs
+
+Fresh installations of Rustup on Windows will now install themselves into the program list so that you can trigger the uninstallation of Rustup via the Add/Remove programs dialogs similar to any other Windows program.
+
+_This will only take effect on installation, so you will need to rerun `rustup-init.exe` if you want this on your PC._
+
+### Other changes
+
+There are more changes in rustup 1.24.0: check them out in the [changelog]!
+
+Rustup's documentation is also available in [the rustup book][book].
