BreakingUpgrade verdict

A platform requirement change and 2 security fixes.

In plain terms
  • Increased MSRV to 1.66.0 to avoid bugs in earlier versions so that we can safely use core::arch::x86_64::__cpuid and core::arch::x86::__cpuid from Rust in future releases.
  • Some AES functions may panic when overflow checking is enabled.
  • Versions of *ring* prior to 0.17 are unmaintained.
