Update timeline
- identified Feb 12, 2026, 07:36 PM UTC
The crates.io background worker is having a bad morning, and a backlog of Git index updates has accumulated. We have given the worker some coffee and it's catching up, but index updates for newly-published crates are running about an hour behind right now. The sparse index (used by default by all modern Rust versions) is unaffected.
- resolved Feb 12, 2026, 07:46 PM UTC
The background worker has caught up, and crate publishes are now updating normally in both indexes.
