Introducing `std::marker::PhantomUnsized` in Rust

The new `std::marker::PhantomUnsized` marker type has been introduced in Rust, allowing developers to work with types that have no compile-time or runtime defined size. This marker type is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to handle types with external metadata, providing a more 'Rust-like' syntax for such operations. By leveraging this new type, Rust developers can now more effectively manage unsized types in their projects, potentially simplifying code and improving type safety.

Tokio v1.52.2 and v1.51.1: Reverting LIFO Slot Stealing

The latest patch releases of Tokio, v1.52.2 and v1.51.1, have reverted the LIFO slot stealing change introduced in v1.51.0. This change was initially aimed at optimizing task scheduling but led to unintended side effects in certain applications. By reverting this behavior, the updates aim to restore the expected performance and reliability of task execution in asynchronous Rust applications. Developers using Tokio should consider updating to these versions to benefit from the restored behavior.
