This update was motivated by the slew of deprecation warnings spotted in recent CI runs (for example, this build workflow run and this release workflow run). It turns out they all stem from the actions-rs/toolchain and actions-rs/cargo actions, which unfortunately no longer appear to be maintained (ref actions-rs/toolchain#216 and actions-rs/cargo#216).
While there may be alternative actions (such as https://github.com/dtolnay/rust-toolchain), I propose we just invoke the
rustup
andcargo
commands directly, seeing as how our use case is fairly straightforward.Example runs from this changeset: build and release.
