Is Rust nightly still necessary, or can you use some released version of Rust?

I will need to package orjson for Conda-Forge if I decide to use it, and I'm not sure if random versions of rust will be available.

nightly is not quite a pre-release, it's a release channel with non-stable features enabled. The nightly version required doesn't generally change. Conda Forge's versions of stable and nightly are both badly out of date, but if upgraded would be fine. Tracking for using stable is PyO3/pyo3#5.

For example, I just built 2.0.6 on nightly-2019-02-28.

Conda-Forge has 1.36 (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/rust), which seems to be latest stable release. But rust-nightly sounds like it's still work in progress: conda-forge/rust-feedstock#31

I see, thanks. I was looking at https://anaconda.org/anaconda/rust at 1.29.0.

conda-forge channel tends to be more up-to-date package channel than anaconda channel, I think. (The former is community-driven, the latter is managed by Anaconda Inc).

There are now source distributions, and maybe that makes it easier to package for Conda. Please reopen if there's something to do about packaging.

Would just like to provide notice that orjson is packaged for Linux on conda-forge. I am still working on the osx and windows versions. Any help there would be appreciated

PyO3/pyo3#5 (comment) states that stable Rust is supported.

Any chance to support Rust stable? I'm trying to build a package for Fedora 33, and I'm blocked on this.
