[RFC 1623] +* [Fields of structs may be initialized without duplicating the field/variable + names][39761]. [RFC 1682] +* [`Self` may be included in the `where` clause of `impls`][38864]. [RFC 1647] +* [When coercing to an unsized type lifetimes must be equal][40319]. That is, + there is no subtyping between `T` and `U` when `T: Unsize`. For example, + coercing `&mut [&'a X; N]` to `&mut [&'b X]` requires `'a` be equal to + `'b`. Soundness fix. +* [Values passed to the indexing operator, `[]`, automatically coerce][40166] +* [Static variables may contain references to other statics][40027] + +Compiler +-------- + +* [Exit quickly on only `--emit dep-info`][40336] +* [Make `-C relocation-model` more correctly determine whether the linker + creates a position-independent executable][40245] +* [Add `-C overflow-checks` to directly control whether integer overflow + panics][40037] +* [The rustc type checker now checks items on demand instead of in a single + in-order pass][40008]. This is mostly an internal refactoring in support of + future work, including incremental type checking, but also resolves [RFC + 1647], allowing `Self` to appear in `impl` `where` clauses. +* [Optimize vtable loads][39995] +* [Turn off vectorization for Emscripten targets][39990] +* [Provide suggestions for unknown macros imported with `use`][39953] +* [Fix ICEs in path resolution][39939] +* [Strip exception handling code on Emscripten when `panic=abort`][39193] +* [Add clearer error message using `&str + &str`][39116] + +Stabilized APIs +--------------- + +* [`Arc::into_raw`] +* [`Arc::from_raw`] +* [`Arc::ptr_eq`] +* [`Rc::into_raw`] +* [`Rc::from_raw`] +* [`Rc::ptr_eq`] +* [`Ordering::then`] +* [`Ordering::then_with`] +* [`BTreeMap::range`] +* [`BTreeMap::range_mut`] +* [`collections::Bound`] +* [`process::abort`] +* [`ptr::read_unaligned`] +* [`ptr::write_unaligned`] +* [`Result::expect_err`] +* [`Cell::swap`] +* [`Cell::replace`] +* [`Cell::into_inner`] +* [`Cell::take`] + +Libraries +--------- + +* [`BTreeMap` and `BTreeSet` can iterate over ranges][27787] +* [`Cell` can store non-`Copy` types][39793].
