- Update rsa from 0.9.8 to 0.9.10 (RUSTSEC-2023-0071 / CVE-2023-49092) - Update time from 0.3.44 to 0.3.47 (RUSTSEC-2026-0009 / CVE-2026-25727) - Update probe-rs from 0.29.1 to 0.31.0 - Update object from 0.37.3 to 0.38 The probe-rs and object updates were needed because xmas-elf (a transitive dependency via espflash 3.x) could not be updated to 0.10 under probe-rs 0.29.1. probe-rs 0.31.0 uses espflash 4.x which dropped xmas-elf entirely, removing it from the dependency tree.
