so you’ll also be able to build future releases from source on your own
(keeping in mind they might have bugs or be broken, as that code will be
completly untested).

# What about the nightly channel?

We will demote the targets on the nightly channel soon, but we don't have an
exact date for when that will happen. We recommend pinning a nightly version
beforehand though, to prevent `rustup toolchain install` from failing once we
apply the demotion.

To pin a nightly version you need to use "nightly" followed by the day the
nightly was released, as the toolchain name. For example, to install the nightly
released on December 1st, 2019 and to use it you can run:

```plain
rustup toolchain install nightly-2019-12-01

# Default to this nightly system-wide...
rustup default nightly-2019-12-01

# ...or use this nightly for a single build
cargo +nightly-2019-12-01 build
```
