## Rust Releases
19+
20+
Rust has a new language release every six weeks.
21+
The first stable release of the language was Rust 1.0.0, followed by Rust 1.1.0 and so on.
22+
Tools (`rustc`, `cargo`, etc.) and documentation ([Standard library], this book, etc.) are released with the language release.
23+
24+
While tools often have the same version as the Rust language, the language exists as its own concept separately from them.
25+
26+
The latest release of this book, matching the latest Rust version, can always be found at [https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/).
27+
Prior versions can be found by adding the Rust version before the "reference" directory.
28+
For example, the Reference for Rust 1.49.0 is located at [https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.49.0/reference/](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.49.0/reference/).
