Reading this, one item stood out a bit. Small improvements here.
. ‘Compile-time’ is not a noun, ‘compilation time’ was meant;
. Mathematical formulas are best not rendered as code;
. Use the same tense as in other items.
Fix conflicting link identifiers
Caused "Errors for non-exhaustive match patterns now list up to 3 missing variants while also indicating the total number of missing variants if more than 3." to link to "libsyntax: Restrict where non-inline modules can appear (fixes#29765)"
At the moment, it only mentions the fix to parallel codegen.
I was going to add more, but I have to go for a while - If this isn't reviewed when I get back, I'll remove it and resubmit it after filling in more :)
This commit stabilizes the following APIs, slating them all to be cherry-picked
into the 1.1 release.
* fs::FileType (and transitively the derived trait implementations)
* fs::Metadata::file_type
* fs::FileType::is_dir
* fs::FileType::is_file
* fs::FileType::is_symlink
* fs::DirEntry::metadata
* fs::DirEntry::file_type
* fs::DirEntry::file_name
* fs::set_permissions
* fs::symlink_metadata
* os::raw::{self, *}
* os::{android, bitrig, linux, ...}::raw::{self, *}
* os::{android, bitrig, linux, ...}::fs::MetadataExt
* os::{android, bitrig, linux, ...}::fs::MetadataExt::as_raw_stat
* os::unix::fs::PermissionsExt
* os::unix::fs::PermissionsExt::mode
* os::unix::fs::PermissionsExt::set_mode
* os::unix::fs::PermissionsExt::from_mode
* os::unix::fs::OpenOptionsExt
* os::unix::fs::OpenOptionsExt::mode
* os::unix::fs::DirEntryExt
* os::unix::fs::DirEntryExt::ino
* os::windows::fs::MetadataExt
* os::windows::fs::MetadataExt::file_attributes
* os::windows::fs::MetadataExt::creation_time
* os::windows::fs::MetadataExt::last_access_time
* os::windows::fs::MetadataExt::last_write_time
* os::windows::fs::MetadataExt::file_size
The `os::unix::fs::Metadata` structure was also removed entirely, moving all of
its associated methods into the `os::unix::fs::MetadataExt` trait instead. The
methods are all marked as `#[stable]` still.
As some minor cleanup, some deprecated and unstable fs apis were also removed:
* File::path
* Metadata::accessed
* Metadata::modified
Features that were explicitly left unstable include:
* fs::WalkDir - the semantics of this were not considered in the recent fs
expansion RFC.
* fs::DirBuilder - it's still not 100% clear if the naming is right here and if
the set of functionality exposed is appropriate.
* fs::canonicalize - the implementation on Windows here is specifically in
question as it always returns a verbatim path. Additionally the Unix
implementation is susceptible to buffer overflows on long paths unfortunately.
* fs::PathExt - as this is just a convenience trait, it is not stabilized at
this time.
* fs::set_file_times - this funciton is still waiting on a time abstraction.
This pulls all of our long-form documentation into a single document,
nicknamed "the book" and formally titled "The Rust Programming
Language."
A few things motivated this change:
* People knew of The Guide, but not the individual Guides. This merges
them together, helping discoverability.
* You can get all of Rust's longform documentation in one place, which
is nice.
* We now have rustbook in-tree, which can generate this kind of
documentation. While its style is basic, the general idea is much
better: a table of contents on the left-hand side.
* Rather than a almost 10,000-line guide.md, there are now smaller files
per section.
