Spotlight: Stable Rust for MCU

This week, the Rust team released a new compiler version, 1.68. This is great news for us because it's the first stable release that's able to build Slint applications for microcontrollers (MCU). It was necessary to use the nightly Rust compiler before to be able to use a global allocator (required by Slint) in no_std applications.
