Rust has pretty strong stability guarantees. Backwards incompatible changes are only made using "editions" where every compiler version supports all previous editions and editions are fully interoperable.

Also, you can just download an older version of the toolchain and use that to compile the project. If the project is properly setup it'll tell you the toolchain version it used. If not you can probably guess by the time of the last commit ^^
