Research direction

The issue names the rsa 0.10 release candidate but no files or tests. Start by reviewing the current release-candidate status and the dependency-version problem described in the issue. Done means an official rsa 0.10 release is available so downstream crates no longer need to track changing RC versions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello, My project is currently forced to use the latest rsa-rc version due to the fact rsa 0.9 still uses rand 0.8 which is pretty much broken on newer rust version due to the addition of the "gen" keyword, Using the release candidate of RSA becomes a problem when users try to use our crate and Cargo fetches a newer RC version then our crate is currently at, resulting in compile errors. I'm sick of constantly having to update the RC and just wish there would be finally an official release.
