Hey everyone!

The default [Rust](https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/rust) version has been updated across all supported challenges.

Previously running on v1.95, we’ve now upgraded to **v1.96**.

To use the latest version, be sure to [update the buildpack version](https://forum.codecrafters.io/t/new-feature-update-language-version/15245) in your repo as well.
