Both targets are the same, `wasm32-wasi` is only being renamed, and this [change to the WASI target](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/updates-to-rusts-wasi-targets.html) is being done to enable removing `wasm32-wasi` in January 2025. + +* We have renamed `std::panic::PanicInfo` to `std::panic::PanicHookInfo`. The old name will continue to work as an alias, but will result in a deprecation warning starting in Rust 1.82.0. + + `core::panic::PanicInfo` will remain unchanged, however, as this is now a *different type*. + + The reason is that these types have different roles: `std::panic::PanicHookInfo` is the argument to the [panic hook](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/panic/fn.set_hook.html) in std context (where panics can have an arbitrary payload), while `core::panic::PanicInfo` is the argument to the [`#[panic_handler]`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/panic-handler.html) in no_std context (where panics always carry a formatted *message*). Separating these types allows us to add more useful methods to these types, such as `std::panic::PanicHookInfo::payload_as_str()` and `core::panic::PanicInfo::message()`. + + + +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. + +- [Add a Rust-for Linux `auto` CI job to check kernel builds.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125209/) + Version 1.80.0 (2024-07-25) ==========================
