+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+- [`addr_of(_mut)!` macros and the newly stabilized `&raw (const|mut)` are now safe to use with all static items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125834)
+ - We now [disallow setting some built-in cfgs via the command-line](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126158) with the newly added [`explicit_builtin_cfgs_in_flags`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/deny-by-default.html#explicit-builtin-cfgs-in-flags) lint in order to prevent incoherent state, eg. `windows` cfg active but target is Linux based. The appropriate [`rustc` flag](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/command-line-arguments.html) should be used instead.
+- [Stabilize `&raw const` and `&raw mut` operators (RFC 2582)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127679)
+- [Stabilize unsafe extern blocks (RFC 3484)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127921)
+- The standard library has a new implementation of `binary_search` which is significantly improves performance (#128254). However when a sorted slice has multiple values which compare equal, the new implementation may select a different value among the equal ones than the old implementation.
+- [illumos/Solaris now sets `MSG_NOSIGNAL` when writing to sockets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128259). This avoids killing the process with SIGPIPE when writing to a closed socket, which matches the existing behavior on other UNIX targets.
+- [Stabilize offset_of_nested](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128284)
+- [Removes a problematic hack that always passed the --whole-archive linker flag for tests, which may cause linker errors for code accidentally relying on it.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128400)
+- The WebAssembly target features `multivalue` and `reference-types` are now
+ both enabled by default. These two features both have subtle changes implied
+ for generated WebAssembly binaries. For the `multivalue` feature, WebAssembly
+ target support has changed when upgrading to LLVM 19. Support for generating
+ functions with multiple returns no longer works and
+ `-Ctarget-feature=+multivalue` has a different meaning than it did in LLVM 18
+ and prior. There is no longer any supported means to generate a module that has
+ a function with multiple returns in WebAssembly from Rust source code. For the
+ `reference-types` feature the encoding of immediates in the `call_indirect`, a
+ commonly used instruction by the WebAssembly backend, has changed. Validators
+ and parsers which don't understand the `reference-types` proposal will no
+ longer accept modules produced by LLVM due to this change in encoding of
+ immediates. Additionally these features being enabled are encoded in the
+ `target_features` custom section and may affect downstream tooling such as
+ `wasm-opt` consuming the module. Generating a WebAssembly module that disables
+ default features requires `-Zbuild-std` support from Cargo and more information
+ can be found at
+ [rust-lang/rust#128511](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128511).
+- [Stabilize `const` arguments to inline asm](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128570)
+- [Promote aarch64-apple-darwin to Tier 1](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128592)
+- [stabilize floating-point arithmetic in `const fn`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128596)
+- [float types: document NaN bit pattern guarantees](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129559)
+- [Rust now raises unsafety errors for union patterns in parameter-position](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130531)
+
+
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
+significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
+tools.
+
+- [Update to LLVM 19](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127513)
