This is an interim maintenance release for the existing v6 branch before v7 can be released. This bumps the MSRV to 1.85 and updates dependencies to their latest versions.

NOTE: This is a release candidate and does not fall under semantic versioning guarantees.
It is intended to permit early access via crates.io, testing and discussing about desired changes in a future stable release.

This is a patch release, now the main release for v6 as v6.0.0 was yanked shortly after release.

Thanks to @JesusGuzmanJr for notifying me about a critical bug that was introduced so that I could resolve it: #304.

This release merely reverts #259 since it introduced data race violations. We'll look into this more in the coming time and try to investigate why and how to gain back the additional 0.5%-ish lost performance. Additionally, v5.5.1 has been yanked.

Thanks to @Turbo87 and the crates.io team for reporting this issue.

Okay, I'll promise to slow down the micro-releases a little but I'd rather keep you folks updated than not. This version bumps the MSRV to 1.65 which is quite old now due to dependency requirements. This was not a choice we could make ourselves without pinning dependencies and causing code duplication for many of dashmap's users.
