Version 1.51.0 (2021-03-25)
============================
Language
--------
- [You can now parameterize items such as functions, traits, and `struct`s by constant
values in addition to by types.][78135] E.g. You can now write the following. Note:
Only values of primitive integers, `bool`, or `char` types are currently permitted.
```rust
struct GenericArray<T, const LENGTH: usize> {
inner: [T; LENGTH]
}
impl<T, const LENGTH: usize> GenericArray<T, LENGTH> {
const fn last(&self) -> Option<&T> {
if LENGTH == 0 {
None
} else {
Some(&self.inner[LENGTH-1])
}
}
}
```
Compiler
--------
- [Added the `-Csplit-debuginfo` codegen option.][79570] This option controls whether
debug information is split across multiple files or packed into a single file.
- [Added tier 3\* support for `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu`, `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32`,
and `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32` targets.][81455]
- [Added tier 3 support for `i386-unknown-linux-gnu` and `i486-unknown-linux-gnu` targets.][80662]
- [The `target-cpu=native` option will now detect individual features of CPUs.][80749]
- [Rust now uses `inline-asm` for stack probes when used with LLVM 11.0.1+][77885]
Libraries
---------
- [`Box::downcast` is now also implemented for any `dyn Any + Send + Sync` object.][80945]
- [`str` now implements `AsMut<str>`.][80279]
- [`u64` and `u128` now implement `From<char>`.][79502]
- [`Error` is now implemented for `&T` where `T` implements `Error`.][75180]
- [`Poll::{map_ok, map_err}` are now implemented for `Poll<Option<Result<T, E>>>`.][80968]
- [`unsigned_abs` is now implemented for all signed integer types.][80959]
- [`io::Empty` now implements `io::Seek`.][78044]
- [`rc::Weak<T>` and `sync::Weak<T>`'s methods such as `as_ptr` are now implemented for
`T: ?Sized` types.][80764]
Stabilized APIs

Rustdoc
-------
- [Rustdoc will now include documentation for methods available from `Deref` traits.][80653]
- [You can now provide a `--default-theme` flag which sets the default theme to use for
documentation.][79642]
Various improvements to intra-doc links:
- [You can link to no path based primitives such as `slice`.][80181]
- [You can link to associated items.][74489]
- [You can now link to items with generics such as `Vec<T>`.][76934]
Misc
----
- [You can now pass `--include-ignored` to tests (e.g. with
`cargo test -- --include-ignored`) to include testing tests marked `#[ignore]`.][80053]
Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Bumped the minimum `g++` for `linux-gnu` targets to `g++-8` from `g++-7`.][81521]
- [WASI platforms no longer use the `wasm-bindgen` ABI.][79998]
- [rustc no longer promotes division, modulo and indexing operations to `const` that
could fail.][80579]
Internal Only
-------------
- [Consistently avoid constructing optimized MIR when not doing codegen][80718]
