 # Changelog
 
+## [1.24.2] - 2021-05-05
+
+This patch release primarily exists to work around a
+[problem discovered][issue#2748] on some Windows (and potentially other) systems
+where a combination of factors, including suspected allocator behaviour, led to
+Rustup failing to install certain toolchains. The symptom users observed was a
+failure to allocate 1677732 bytes: a chunk used for unpacking very large files.
+We hope this is fixed in a combination of [pr#2750][] and [pr#2756][].
+
+In addition to that, we also:
+
+### Added
+
+- SHA256 links on the download page so that you can verify your downloads if you
+  want to be certain. [pr#2719][]
+- Added `--verbose` to `rustup show active-toolchain` to also display the version
+  of the compiler for the toolchain. [pr#2710]
+- We now support `1.x` installation channel names for versions 1.0 through 1.8
+  by hardcoding `1.x.0` since they lack patch releases. [pr#2758][]
+
+### Changed
+
+- Amended the behaviour of the 'missing components' code so that if the problem
+  exists when _installing_ a toolchain (rather than updating it) the message
+  is different and leads you to other remediations. [pr#2709][]
+- Amended the error message for a missing component so that when you're using
+  a nightly toolchain and `rust-std` is missing for a given target, we lead you
+  to `cargo build -Z build-std` as a remediation. [pr#2732][]
+- Improved the documentation around `settings.toml` locations. [pr#2698][]
+- Internal improvements around retrying removal of files. [pr#2752][]
