Version 1.17.0 (2017-04-27)
===========================

Language
--------

* [The lifetime of statics and consts defaults to `'static`][39265]. [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<U>`. 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]

* [Add an option to ignore SSL revocation checking][cargo/3699]
* [Add `cargo run --package`][cargo/3691]
* [Add `required_features`][cargo/3667]
* [Assume `build.rs` is a build script][cargo/3664]
* [Find workspace via `workspace_root` link in containing member][cargo/3562]

Misc
----

* [Documentation is rendered with mdbook instead of the obsolete, in-tree
  `rustbook`][39633]
* [The "Unstable Book" documents nightly-only features][ubook]
* [Improve the style of the sidebar in rustdoc output][40265]
* [Configure build correctly on 64-bit CPU's with the armhf ABI][40261]
* [Fix MSP430 breakage due to `i128`][40257]
* [Preliminary Solaris/SPARCv9 support][39903]

  run without installing the MSVC runtime.
* [`rustdoc --test` includes file names in test names][39788]
* This release includes builds of `std` for `sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu`,
  `aarch64-unknown-linux-fuchsia`, and `x86_64-unknown-linux-fuchsia`.
* [Initial support for `aarch64-unknown-freebsd`][39491]
* [Initial support for `i686-unknown-netbsd`][39426]

  WinDbg and Visual Studio to improve the debugging experience.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [Rust 1.17 does not correctly detect the MSVC 2017 linker][38584]. As a
  workaround, either use MSVC 2015 or run vcvars.bat.
* [When coercing to an unsized type lifetimes must be equal][40319]. That is,
  disallow subtyping between `T` and `U` when `T: Unsize<U>`, e.g. coercing
  `&mut [&'a X; N]` to `&mut [&'b X]` requires `'a` be equal to `'b`. Soundness
  fix.
* [`format!` and `Display::to_string` panic if an underlying formatting
  implementation returns an error][40117]. Previously the error was silently
  ignored. It is incorrect for `write_fmt` to return an error when writing
  to a string.
* [In-tree crates are verified to be unstable][39851]. Previously, some minor
  crates were marked stable and could be accessed from the stable toolchain.
* [Rust git source no longer includes vendored crates][39728]. Those that need
  to build with vendored crates should build from release tarballs.
* [Fix inert attributes from `proc_macro_derives`][39572]
* [During crate resolution, rustc prefers a crate in the sysroot if two crates
  are otherwise identical][39518]. Unlikely to be encountered outside the Rust
  build system.
* [Fixed bugs around how type inference interacts with dead-code][39485]. The
  existing code generally ignores the type of dead-code unless a type-hint is
  provided; this can cause surprising inference interactions particularly around
  defaulting. The new code uniformly ignores the result type of dead-code.
* [Tuple-struct constructors with private fields are no longer visible][38932]
* [Lifetime parameters that do not appear in the arguments are now considered
  early-bound][38897], resolving a soundness bug (#[32330]). The
  `hr_lifetime_in_assoc_type` future-compatibility lint has been in effect since
  April of 2016.
* [rustdoc: fix doctests with non-feature crate attributes][38161]
* [Make transmuting from fn item types to pointer-sized types a hard
  error][34198]

Version 1.16.0 (2017-03-16)
===========================

Language
--------

* [The compiler's `dead_code` lint now accounts for type aliases][38051].
* [Uninhabitable enums (those without any variants) no longer permit wildcard
  match patterns][38069]
* [Clean up semantics of `self` in an import list][38313]
* [`Self` may appear in `impl` headers][38920]
* [`Self` may appear in struct expressions][39282]

Compiler
--------

* [`rustc` now supports `--emit=metadata`, which causes rustc to emit
  a `.rmeta` file containing only crate metadata][38571]. This can be
  used by tools like the Rust Language Service to perform
  metadata-only builds.
* [Levenshtein based typo suggestions now work in most places, while
  previously they worked only for fields and sometimes for local
  variables][38927]. Together with the overhaul of "no
  resolution"/"unexpected resolution" errors (#[38154]) they result in
  large and systematic improvement in resolution diagnostics.
* [Fix `transmute::<T, U>` where `T` requires a bigger alignment than
  `U`][38670]
* [rustc: use -Xlinker when specifying an rpath with ',' in it][38798]
* [`rustc` no longer attempts to provide "consider using an explicit
  lifetime" suggestions][37057]. They were inaccurate.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

* [`VecDeque::truncate`]
* [`VecDeque::resize`]
* [`String::insert_str`]
* [`Duration::checked_add`]
* [`Duration::checked_sub`]
* [`Duration::checked_div`]
* [`Duration::checked_mul`]
* [`str::replacen`]
* [`str::repeat`]
* [`SocketAddr::is_ipv4`]
* [`SocketAddr::is_ipv6`]
* [`IpAddr::is_ipv4`]
* [`IpAddr::is_ipv6`]
* [`Vec::dedup_by`]
* [`Vec::dedup_by_key`]
* [`Result::unwrap_or_default`]
* [`<*const T>::wrapping_offset`]
* [`<*mut T>::wrapping_offset`]
* `CommandExt::creation_flags`
* [`File::set_permissions`]
* [`String::split_off`]

Libraries
---------

* [`[T]::binary_search` and `[T]::binary_search_by_key` now take
  their argument by `Borrow` parameter][37761]
* [All public types in std implement `Debug`][38006]
* [`IpAddr` implements `From<Ipv4Addr>` and `From<Ipv6Addr>`][38327]
* [`Ipv6Addr` implements `From<[u16; 8]>`][38131]
* [Ctrl-Z returns from `Stdin.read()` when reading from the console on
  Windows][38274]
* [std: Fix partial writes in `LineWriter`][38062]
* [std: Clamp max read/write sizes on Unix][38062]
* [Use more specific panic message for `&str` slicing errors][38066]
* [`TcpListener::set_only_v6` is deprecated][38304]. This
  functionality cannot be achieved in std currently.
* [`writeln!`, like `println!`, now accepts a form with no string
  or formatting arguments, to just print a newline][38469]
* [Implement `iter::Sum` and `iter::Product` for `Result`][38580]
* [Reduce the size of static data in `std_unicode::tables`][38781]
* [`char::EscapeDebug`, `EscapeDefault`, `EscapeUnicode`,
  `CaseMappingIter`, `ToLowercase`, `ToUppercase`, implement
  `Display`][38909]
* [`Duration` implements `Sum`][38712]
* [`String` implements `ToSocketAddrs`][39048]

Cargo
-----

* [The `cargo check` command does a type check of a project without
  building it][cargo/3296]
* [crates.io will display CI badges from Travis and AppVeyor, if
  specified in Cargo.toml][cargo/3546]
* [crates.io will display categories listed in Cargo.toml][cargo/3301]
* [Compilation profiles accept integer values for `debug`, in addition
  to `true` and `false`. These are passed to `rustc` as the value to
  `-C debuginfo`][cargo/3534]
* [Implement `cargo --version --verbose`][cargo/3604]
* [All builds now output 'dep-info' build dependencies compatible with
  make and ninja][cargo/3557]
* [Build all workspace members with `build --all`][cargo/3511]
* [Document all workspace members with `doc --all`][cargo/3515]
* [Path deps outside workspace are not members][cargo/3443]

Misc
----

* [`rustdoc` has a `--sysroot` argument that, like `rustc`, specifies
  the path to the Rust implementation][38589]
* [The `armv7-linux-androideabi` target no longer enables NEON
  extensions, per Google's ABI guide][38413]
* [The stock standard library can be compiled for Redox OS][38401]
* [Rust has initial SPARC support][38726]. Tier 3. No builds
  available.
* [Rust has experimental support for Nvidia PTX][38559]. Tier 3. No
  builds available.
* [Fix backtraces on i686-pc-windows-gnu by disabling FPO][39379]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [Uninhabitable enums (those without any variants) no longer permit wildcard
  match patterns][38069]
* In this release, references to uninhabited types can not be
  pattern-matched. This was accidentally allowed in 1.15.
* [The compiler's `dead_code` lint now accounts for type aliases][38051].
* [Ctrl-Z returns from `Stdin.read()` when reading from the console on
  Windows][38274]
* [Clean up semantics of `self` in an import list][38313]

Version 1.15.1 (2017-02-09)
===========================

* [Fix IntoIter::as_mut_slice's signature][39466]
* [Compile compiler builtins with `-fPIC` on 32-bit platforms][39523]

[39466]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39466
[39523]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39523


Version 1.15.0 (2017-02-02)
===========================

Language
--------

* Basic procedural macros allowing custom `#[derive]`, aka "macros 1.1", are
  stable. This allows popular code-generating crates like Serde and Diesel to
  work ergonomically. [RFC 1681].
* [Tuple structs may be empty. Unary and empty tuple structs may be instantiated
  with curly braces][36868]. Part of [RFC 1506].
* [A number of minor changes to name resolution have been activated][37127].
  They add up to more consistent semantics, allowing for future evolution of
  Rust macros. Specified in [RFC 1560], see its section on ["changes"] for
  details of what is different. The breaking changes here have been transitioned
  through the [`legacy_imports`] lint since 1.14, with no known regressions.
* [In `macro_rules`, `path` fragments can now be parsed as type parameter
  bounds][38279]
* [`?Sized` can be used in `where` clauses][37791]
* [There is now a limit on the size of monomorphized types and it can be
  modified with the `#![type_size_limit]` crate attribute, similarly to
  the `#![recursion_limit]` attribute][37789]

Compiler
--------

* [On Windows, the compiler will apply dllimport attributes when linking to
  extern functions][37973]. Additional attributes and flags can control which
  library kind is linked and its name. [RFC 1717].
* [Rust-ABI symbols are no longer exported from cdylibs][38117]
* [The `--test` flag works with procedural macro crates][38107]
* [Fix `extern "aapcs" fn` ABI][37814]
* [The `-C no-stack-check` flag is deprecated][37636]. It does nothing.
* [The `format!` expander recognizes incorrect `printf` and shell-style
  formatting directives and suggests the correct format][37613].
* [Only report one error for all unused imports in an import list][37456]

Compiler Performance
--------------------

* [Avoid unnecessary `mk_ty` calls in `Ty::super_fold_with`][37705]
* [Avoid more unnecessary `mk_ty` calls in `Ty::super_fold_with`][37979]
* [Don't clone in `UnificationTable::probe`][37848]
* [Remove `scope_auxiliary` to cut RSS by 10%][37764]
* [Use small vectors in type walker][37760]
* [Macro expansion performance was improved][37701]
* [Change `HirVec<P<T>>` to `HirVec<T>` in `hir::Expr`][37642]
* [Replace FNV with a faster hash function][37229]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

* [`std::iter::Iterator::min_by`]
* [`std::iter::Iterator::max_by`]
* [`std::os::*::fs::FileExt`]
* [`std::sync::atomic::Atomic*::get_mut`]
* [`std::sync::atomic::Atomic*::into_inner`]
* [`std::vec::IntoIter::as_slice`]
* [`std::vec::IntoIter::as_mut_slice`]
* [`std::sync::mpsc::Receiver::try_iter`]
* [`std::os::unix::process::CommandExt::before_exec`]
* [`std::rc::Rc::strong_count`]
* [`std::rc::Rc::weak_count`]
* [`std::sync::Arc::strong_count`]
* [`std::sync::Arc::weak_count`]
* [`std::char::encode_utf8`]
* [`std::char::encode_utf16`]
* [`std::cell::Ref::clone`]
* [`std::io::Take::into_inner`]

Libraries
---------

* [The standard sorting algorithm has been rewritten for dramatic performance
  improvements][38192]. It is a hybrid merge sort, drawing influences from
  Timsort. Previously it was a naive merge sort.
* [`Iterator::nth` no longer has a `Sized` bound][38134]
* [`Extend<&T>` is specialized for `Vec` where `T: Copy`][38182] to improve
  performance.
* [`chars().count()` is much faster][37888] and so are [`chars().last()`
  and `char_indices().last()`][37882]
* [Fix ARM Objective-C ABI in `std::env::args`][38146]
* [Chinese characters display correctly in `fmt::Debug`][37855]
* [Derive `Default` for `Duration`][37699]
* [Support creation of anonymous pipes on WinXP/2k][37677]
* [`mpsc::RecvTimeoutError` implements `Error`][37527]
* [Don't pass overlapped handles to processes][38835]

Cargo
-----

* [In this release, Cargo build scripts no longer have access to the `OUT_DIR`
  environment variable at build time via `env!("OUT_DIR")`][cargo/3368]. They
  should instead check the variable at runtime with `std::env`. That the value
  was set at build time was a bug, and incorrect when cross-compiling. This
  change is known to cause breakage.
* [Add `--all` flag to `cargo test`][cargo/3221]
* [Compile statically against the MSVC CRT][cargo/3363]
* [Mix feature flags into fingerprint/metadata shorthash][cargo/3102]
* [Link OpenSSL statically on OSX][cargo/3311]
* [Apply new fingerprinting to build dir outputs][cargo/3310]
* [Test for bad path overrides with summaries][cargo/3336]
* [Require `cargo install --vers` to take a semver version][cargo/3338]
* [Fix retrying crate downloads for network errors][cargo/3348]
* [Implement string lookup for `build.rustflags` config key][cargo/3356]
* [Emit more info on --message-format=json][cargo/3319]
* [Assume `build.rs` in the same directory as `Cargo.toml` is a build script][cargo/3361]
* [Don't ignore errors in workspace manifest][cargo/3409]
* [Fix `--message-format JSON` when rustc emits non-JSON warnings][cargo/3410]

Tooling
-------

* [Test runners (binaries built with `--test`) now support a `--list` argument
  that lists the tests it contains][38185]
* [Test runners now support a `--exact` argument that makes the test filter
  match exactly, instead of matching only a substring of the test name][38181]
* [rustdoc supports a `--playground-url` flag][37763]
* [rustdoc provides more details about `#[should_panic]` errors][37749]

Misc
----

* [The Rust build system is now written in Rust][37817]. The Makefiles may
  continue to be used in this release by passing `--disable-rustbuild` to the
  configure script, but they will be deleted soon. Note that the new build
  system uses a different on-disk layout that will likely affect any scripts
  building Rust.
* [Rust supports i686-unknown-openbsd][38086]. Tier 3 support. No testing or
  releases.
* [Rust supports the MSP430][37627]. Tier 3 support. No testing or releases.
* [Rust supports the ARMv5TE architecture][37615]. Tier 3 support. No testing or
  releases.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [A number of minor changes to name resolution have been activated][37127].
  They add up to more consistent semantics, allowing for future evolution of
  Rust macros. Specified in [RFC 1560], see its section on ["changes"] for
  details of what is different. The breaking changes here have been transitioned
  through the [`legacy_imports`] lint since 1.14, with no known regressions.
* [In this release, Cargo build scripts no longer have access to the `OUT_DIR`
  environment variable at build time via `env!("OUT_DIR")`][cargo/3368]. They
  should instead check the variable at runtime with `std::env`. That the value
  was set at build time was a bug, and incorrect when cross-compiling. This
  change is known to cause breakage.
* [Higher-ranked lifetimes are no longer allowed to appear _only_ in associated
  types][33685]. The [`hr_lifetime_in_assoc_type` lint] has been a warning since
  1.10 and is now an error by default. It will become a hard error in the near
  future.
* [The semantics relating modules to file system directories are changing in
  minor ways][37602]. This is captured in the new `legacy_directory_ownership`
  lint, which is a warning in this release, and will become a hard error in the
  future.
* [Rust-ABI symbols are no longer exported from cdylibs][38117]
* [Once `Peekable` peeks a `None` it will return that `None` without re-querying
  the underlying iterator][37834]

* This release includes host (rustc) builds for Linux on MIPS, PowerPC, and
  S390x. These are [tier 2] platforms and may have major defects. Follow the
  instructions on the website to install, or add the targets to an existing
  installation with `rustup target add`. The new target triples are:
  - `mips-unknown-linux-gnu`
  - `mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu`
  - `mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64`
  - `mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64 `
  - `powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu`
  - `powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu`
  - `powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu`
  - `s390x-unknown-linux-gnu `
* This release includes target (std) builds for ARM Linux running MUSL
  libc. These are [tier 2] platforms and may have major defects. Add the
  following triples to an existing rustup installation with `rustup target add`:
  - `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`
  - `arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`
  - `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf`
* This release includes [experimental support for WebAssembly][1.14wasm], via
  the `wasm32-unknown-emscripten` target. This target is known to have major
  defects. Please test, report, and fix.
* rustup no longer installs documentation by default. Run `rustup
  component add rust-docs` to install.
* [Fix line stepping in debugger][37310]
* [Enable line number debuginfo in releases][37280]

Misc
----

* [Disable jemalloc on aarch64/powerpc/mips][37392]
* [Add support for Fuchsia OS][37313]
* [Detect local-rebuild by only MAJOR.MINOR version][37273]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [A number of forward-compatibility lints used by the compiler
  to gradually introduce language changes have been converted
  to deny by default][36894]:
  - ["use of inaccessible extern crate erroneously allowed"][36886]
  - ["type parameter default erroneously allowed in invalid location"][36887]
  - ["detects super or self keywords at the beginning of global path"][36888]
  - ["two overlapping inherent impls define an item with the same name
    were erroneously allowed"][36889]
  - ["floating-point constants cannot be used in patterns"][36890]
  - ["constants of struct or enum type can only be used in a pattern if
     the struct or enum has `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq)]`"][36891]
  - ["lifetimes or labels named `'_` were erroneously allowed"][36892]
* [Prohibit patterns in trait methods without bodies][37378]
* [The atomic `Ordering` enum may not be matched exhaustively][37351]
* [Future-proofing `#[no_link]` breaks some obscure cases][37247]

* [Impls specifying extra region requirements beyond the trait
  they implement are rejected][37167]
* [Enums may not be unsized][37111]. Unsized enums are intended to
  work but never have. For now they are forbidden.
* [Enforce the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560 for today's macros][36767]

Version 1.13.0 (2016-11-10)
===========================

Language
--------

* [Stabilize the `?` operator][36995]. `?` is a simple way to propagate
  errors, like the `try!` macro, described in [RFC 0243].
* [Stabilize macros in type position][36014]. Described in [RFC 873].
* [Stabilize attributes on statements][36995]. Described in [RFC 0016].
* [Fix `#[derive]` for empty tuple structs/variants][35728]
* [Fix lifetime rules for 'if' conditions][36029]
* [Avoid loading and parsing unconfigured non-inline modules][36482]

Compiler
--------

* [Add the `-C link-arg` argument][36574]
* [Remove the old AST-based backend from rustc_trans][35764]
* [Don't enable NEON by default on armv7 Linux][35814]
* [Fix debug line number info for macro expansions][35238]
* [Do not emit "class method" debuginfo for types that are not
  DICompositeType][36008]
* [Warn about multiple conflicting #[repr] hints][34623]
* [When sizing DST, don't double-count nested struct prefixes][36351]
* [Default RUST_MIN_STACK to 16MiB for now][36505]
* [Improve rlib metadata format][36551]. Reduces rlib size significantly.
* [Reject macros with empty repetitions to avoid infinite loop][36721]
* [Expand macros without recursing to avoid stack overflows][36214]

Diagnostics
-----------

* [Replace macro backtraces with labeled local uses][35702]
* [Improve error message for missplaced doc comments][33922]
* [Buffer unix and lock windows to prevent message interleaving][35975]
* [Update lifetime errors to specifically note temporaries][36171]
* [Special case a few colors for Windows][36178]
* [Suggest `use self` when such an import resolves][36289]
* [Be more specific when type parameter shadows primitive type][36338]
* Many minor improvements

Compile-time Optimizations
--------------------------

* [Compute and cache HIR hashes at beginning][35854]
* [Don't hash types in loan paths][36004]
* [Cache projections in trans][35761]
* [Optimize the parser's last token handling][36527]
* [Only instantiate #[inline] functions in codegen units referencing
  them][36524]. This leads to big improvements in cases where crates export
  define many inline functions without using them directly.
* [Lazily allocate TypedArena's first chunk][36592]
* [Don't allocate during default HashSet creation][36734]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

* [`checked_abs`]
* [`wrapping_abs`]
* [`overflowing_abs`]
* [`RefCell::try_borrow`]
* [`RefCell::try_borrow_mut`]

Libraries
---------

* [Add `assert_ne!` and `debug_assert_ne!`][35074]
* [Make `vec_deque::Drain`, `hash_map::Drain`, and `hash_set::Drain`
  covariant][35354]
* [Implement `AsRef<[T]>` for `std::slice::Iter`][35559]
* [Implement `Debug` for `std::vec::IntoIter`][35707]
* [`CString`: avoid excessive growth just to 0-terminate][35871]
* [Implement `CoerceUnsized` for `{Cell, RefCell, UnsafeCell}`][35627]
* [Use arc4rand on FreeBSD][35884]
* [memrchr: Correct aligned offset computation][35969]
* [Improve Demangling of Rust Symbols][36059]
* [Use monotonic time in condition variables][35048]
* [Implement `Debug` for `std::path::{Components,Iter}`][36101]
