+-------------------
+
+- [Alter `Display` for `Ipv6Addr` for IPv4-compatible addresses](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/112606/)
+- Cargo changed feature name validation check to a hard error. The warning was

+ this should only impact users of other registries, or people who don't publish
+ to a registry.
