 ### Added
 
 ### Changed
+* `hyperlight-host` requires Rust 1.95.
+
 * Core dumps no longer record the guest binary path. The process name and command line are always `<unknown>`, as they already were for sandboxes created from snapshots by @ludfjig in https://github.com/hyperlight-dev/hyperlight/pull/1975
 
 * **Breaking:** Generated libc bindings use `usize` for `size_t` arguments and return values, including `strlen` and `memcpy`. Rust callers that use `u64` or `c_ulong` need explicit conversions. The C ABI is unchanged.
