applicable][43178]
- [Fixes backtraces on Redox][43228]
- [rustc now identifies different versions of same crate when absolute paths of
different types match in an error message.][42826]
Libraries
---------
- [`Ref`, `RefMut`, `MutexGuard`, `RwLockReadGuard`, `RwLockWriteGuard`
now impl `fmt::Display` & `fmt::Debug`.][42822]
- [Relaxed Debug constraints on {HashMap,BTreeMap}::{Keys,Values}.][42854]
- [Implement `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Debug`, `Hash` for unsized
tuples.][43011]
- [Impl `Clone` for `DefaultHasher`.][42799]
- [Implement `Sync` for `SyncSender`.][42397]
- [Fixed how `{f32, f64}::{is_sign_negative, is_sign_positive}` handles
NaN.][42431]
- [allow messages in the `unimplemented!()` macro.][42155]
ie. `unimplemented!("Waiting for 1.21 to be stable")`
- [`char`now impls `FromStr`.][42271]
- [support pub(restricted) in thread_local! (round 2)][43185]
- [Upgrade to Unicode 10.0.0][42999]

- [Skip the main thread's manual stack guard on Linux][43072]
- [Iterator::nth for `ops::{Range, RangeFrom}` is now done in O(1) time][43077]
- [`#cfg[align(N)]` attribute max number is now 2^31 - 1.][43097] This was
previously 2^15.
- [`{OsStr, Path}::Display` now avoids allocations where possible][42613]
Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Chain::get_mut`]
- [`Chain::get_ref`]
- [`Chain::into_inner`]
- [`Take::get_mut`]
- [`Take::get_ref`]
- [`f32::from_bits`]
- [`f32::to_bits`]
- [`f64::from_bits`]
- [`f64::to_bits`]
- [`slice::sort_unstable`]
- [`slice::sort_unstable_by`]
- [`slice::sort_unstable_by_key`]
Cargo
-----
- [Cargo API token location moved from `~/.cargo/config` to
`~/cargo/credentials`.][cargo/3978]
- [Cargo will now build multiple `main.rs` binaries in different
directories.][cargo/4214] ie. Having `src/server/main.rs` and
`src/client/main.rs` generates `target/debug/server` and `target/debug/client`
- [You can now specify version of a binary when installed through
`cargo install` using `--vers`.][cargo/4229]
- [Added `--no-fail-fast` flag to cargo to run all benchmarks regardless of
failure.][cargo/4248]
- [Changed the convention around which file is the crate root.][cargo/4259]
- [The `include`/`exclude` property in `Cargo.toml` now accepts gitignore paths
instead of glob patterns][cargo/4270]. Glob patterns are now deprecated.
Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Functions with `'static` in their return types will now not be as usable as
if they were using lifetime parameters instead.][42417]
