Changelog:
# What's in 1.23.0 stable
New year, new Rust! For our first improvement today, we now avoid
some unnecessary copies in certain situations. We've seen memory
usage of using rustc to drop 5-10% with this change; it may be
different with your programs.
The documentation team has been on a long journey to move rustdoc
to use CommonMark. Previously, rustdoc never guaranteed which
markdown rendering engine it used, but we're finally committing to
CommonMark. As part of this release, we render the documentation
with our previous renderer, Hoedown, but also render it with a
CommonMark compliant renderer, and warn if there are any differences.
There should be a way for you to modify the syntax you use to render
correctly under both; we're not aware of any situations where this
is impossible. Docs team member Guillaume Gomez has written a blog
post showing some common differences and how to solve them. In a
future release, we will switch to using the CommonMark renderer by
default. This warning landed in nightly in May of last year, and
has been on by default since October of last year, so many crates
have already fixed any issues that they've found.
In other documentation news, historically, Cargo's docs have been
a bit strange. Rather than being on doc.rust-lang.org, they've been
at doc.crates.io. With this release, that's changing. You can now
find Cargo's docs at doc.rust-lang.org/cargo. Additionally, they've
been converted to the same format as our other long-form documentation.
We'll be adding a redirect from doc.crates.io to this page, and
you can expect to see more improvements and updates to Cargo's docs
throughout the year.
See the detailed release notes for more.
## Library stabilizations
As of Rust 1.0, a trait named AsciiExt existed to provide ASCII
related functionality on u8, char, [u8], and str. To use it, you'd
write code like this:
use std::ascii::AsciiExt;
let ascii = 'a';
let non_ascii = '❤';
let int_ascii = 97;
assert!(ascii.is_ascii());
assert!(!non_ascii.is_ascii());
assert!(int_ascii.is_ascii());
In Rust 1.23, these methods are now defined directly on those types,
and so you no longer need to import the trait. Thanks to our
stability guarantees, this trait still exists, so if you'd like to
still support Rust versions before Rust 1.23, you can do this:
#[allow(unused_imports)]
use std::ascii::AsciiExt;
...to suppress the related warning. Once you drop support for older
Rusts, you can remove both lines, and everything will continue to
work.
Additionally, a few new APIs were stabilized this release:
The various std::sync::atomic types now implement From their
non-atomic types. For example, let x = AtomicBool::from(true);.
() now implements FromIterator<()>; check the PR for a neat
use-case. RwLock<T> has had its Send restriction lifted
See the detailed release notes for more.
## Cargo features
cargo check can now check your unit tests.
cargo uninstall can now uninstall more than one package in one
command.
* Disable SunOS support for a while

Compatibility Notes
The minimum Android version that rustc can build for has been
bumped to 4.0 from 2.3
Allowing T op= &T for numeric types has broken some type inference cases
No changes intended on other platforms, the configure script arguments
should be identical to those previously found in config.toml. Doing it
this way makes it a lot easier to have per-OS configuration.

Cargo
Cargo API token location moved from ~/.cargo/config to ~/.cargo/credentials.
Cargo will now build main.rs binaries that are in sub-directories of src/bin. ie. Having src/bin/server/main.rs and src/bin/client/main.rs generates target/debug/server and target/debug/client

Added lint for detecting unused macros.
loop can now return a value with break. RFC 1624 For example: let x = loop { break 7; };
C compatible unions are now available. RFC 1444 They can only contain Copy types and cannot have a Drop implementation. Example: union Foo { bar: u8, baz: usize }
Non capturing closures can now be coerced into fns, RFC 1558 Example: let foo: fn(u8) -> u8 = |v: u8| { v };
Compiler
Add support for bootstrapping the Rust compiler toolchain on Android.
Change arm-linux-androideabi to correspond to the armeabi official ABI. If you wish to continue targeting the armeabi-v7a ABI you should use --target armv7-linux-androideabi.
Fixed ICE when removing a source file between compilation sessions.
Minor optimisation of string operations.
Compiler error message is now aborting due to previous error(s) instead of aborting due to N previous errors This was previously inaccurate and would only count certain kinds of errors.
The compiler now supports Visual Studio 2017
The compiler is now built against LLVM 4.0.1 by default
Added a lot of new error codes
Added target-feature=+crt-static option RFC 1721 Which allows libraries with C Run-time Libraries(CRT) to be statically linked.
Fixed various ARM codegen bugs
Libraries
String now implements FromIterator<Cow<'a, str>> and Extend<Cow<'a, str>>
Vec now implements From<&mut [T]>
Box<[u8]> now implements From<Box<str>>
SplitWhitespace now implements Clone
[u8]::reverse is now 5x faster and [u16]::reverse is now 1.5x faster

Added --all flag to the cargo bench subcommand to run benchmarks of all the members in a given workspace.
Updated libssh2-sys to 0.2.6
Target directory path is now in the cargmetadata
Cargo no longer checks out a local working directory for the crates.io index This should provide smaller file size for the registry, and improve cloning times, especially on Windows machines.
Added an --exclude option for excluding certai using the --all option
Cargo will now automatically retry when receiving a 5xx error from crates.io
The --features option now accepts multiple comma or space delimited values.
Added support for custom target specific runners
Misc
Added ow prefer to download rust packages with XZ compression over GZip packages.
Added the ability to escape # in rust documentation By adding additional #'s ie. ## is now #
Compatibility Notes
MutexGuard<T> may only be Sync if T is Sync.
-Z flagning for a year previous to this.
As a result of the -Z flag change, the cargo-check plugin no longer works. Users should migrate to the built-in check command, which has been available since 1.16.
Ending a float literal with ._ is now a hard erro use ::self::foo; is now a hard error. self paths are always relative while the :: prefix makes a path absolute, but was ignored and the path was relative regardless.
Floating point constants in match patterns is now a hard error This was previously ts that don't derive PartialEq & Eq used match patterns is now a hard error This was previously a warning.
Lifetimes named '_ are no longer allowed. This was previously a warning.
From the pound escape, lines consisting of multiple #s are now visible
It is an error to reexport private enum variants. This is known to break a number of crates that depend on an older version of mustache.
On Windows, if VCINSTALLDIR is set incorrectly, rustc will try to use it to find the linker, and the build will fail where it did not previously
Version 1.18.0 (2017-06-08)
Language
Stabilize pub(restricted) pub can now accept a module path to make the item visible to just that module tree. Also accepts the keyword crate to make something public to the whole crate but not users of the library. Example: pub(crate) mod utils;. RFC 1422.
Stabilize #![windows_subsystem] attribute conservative exposure of the /SUBSYSTEM linker flag on Windows platforms. RFC 1665.
Refactor of trait object type parsing Now ty in macros can accept types like Write + Send, trailing + are now supported in trait objects, and better error reporting for trait objects starting with ?Sized.
0e+10 is now a valid floating point literal
Now warns if you bind a lifetime parameter to 'static
Tuples, Enum variant fields, and structs with no repr attribute or with #[repr(Rust)] are reordered to minimize padding and produce a smaller representation in some cases.
Compiler
rustc can now emit mir with --emit mir
Improved LLVM IR for trivial functions
Added explanation for E0090(Wrong number of lifetimes are supplied)
rustc compilation is now 15%-20% faster Thanks to optimisation opportunities found through profiling
Improved backtrace formatting when panicking
Libraries
Specialized Vec::from_iter being passed vec::IntoIter if the iterator hasn't been advanced the original Vec is reassembled with no actual iteration or reallocation.
Simplified HashMap Bucket interface provides performance improvements for iterating and cloning.
Specialize Vec::from_elem to use calloc
Fixed Race condition in fs::create_dir_all
No longer caching stdio on Windows

Now always emits build script warnings for crates that fail to build
Added Android build support
Added --bins and --tests flags now you can build all programs of a certain type, for example cargo build --bins will build all binaries.
Added support for haiku
Misc
rustdoc can now use pulldown-cmark with the --enable-commonmark flag
Added rust-winbg script for better debugging on Windows
Rust now uses the official cross compiler for NetBSD
rustdoc now accepts # at the start of files
Fixed jemalloc support for musl
Compatibility Notes
Changes to how the 0 flag works in format! Padding zeroes are now always placed after the sign if it exists and before the digits. With the # flag the zeroes are placed after the prefix and before the digits.
Due to the struct field optimisation, using transmute on structs that have no repr attribute or #[repr(Rust)] will no longer work. This has always been undefined behavior, but is now more likely to break in practice.
The refactor of trait object type parsing fixed a bug where + was receiving the wrong priority parsing things like &for<'a> Tr<'a> + Send as &(for<'a> Tr<'a> + Send) instead of (&for<'a> Tr<'a>) + Send
Overlapping inherent impls are now a hard error
PartialOrd and Ord must agree on the ordering.
rustc main.rs -o out --emit=asm,llvm-ir Now will output out.asm and out.ll instead of only one of the filetypes.
calling a function that returns Self will no longer work when the size of Self cannot be statically determined.
rustc now builds with a "pthreads" flavour of MinGW for Windows GNU this has caused a few regressions namely:
Changed the link order of local static/dynamic libraries (respecting the order on given rather than having the compiler reorder).
Changed how MinGW is linked, native code linked to dynamic libraries may require manually linking to the gcc support library (for the native code itself)
Version 1.17.0 (2017-04-27)
Language
The lifetime of statics and consts defaults to 'static. RFC 1623
Fields of structs may be initialized without duplicating the field/variable names. RFC 1682
Self may be included in the where clause of impls. RFC 1647
When coercing to an unsized type lifetimes must be equal. 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
Static variables may contain references to other statics
Compiler
Exit quickly on only --emit dep-info
Make -C relocation-model more correctly determine whether the linker creates a position-independent executable
Add -C overflow-checks to directly control whether integer overflow panics
The rustc type checker now checks items on demand instead of in a single in-order pass. 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.

Fix MSP430 breakage due to i128
Preliminary Solaris/SPARCv9 support
rustc is linked statically on Windows MSVC targets, allowing it to run without installing the MSVC runtime.
rustdoc --test includes file names in test names
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
Initial support for i686-unknown-netbsd
This release no longer includes the old makefile build system. Rust is built with a custom build system, written in Rust, and with Cargo.
Add Debug implementations for libcollection structs
TypeId implements PartialOrd and Ord
--test-threads=0 produces an error
rustup installs documentation by default
The Rust source includes NatVis visualizations. These can be used by WinDbg and Visual Studio to improve the debugging experience.
Compatibility Notes
Rust 1.17 does not correctly detect the MSVC 2017 linker. As a workaround, either use MSVC 2015 or run vcvars.bat.
When coercing to an unsized type lifetimes must be equal. 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. 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. Previously, some minor crates were marked stable and could be accessed from the stable toolchain.
Rust git source no longer includes vendored crates. Those that need to build with vendored crates should build from release tarballs.
Fix inert attributes from proc_macro_derives
During crate resolution, rustc prefers a crate in the sysroot if two crates are otherwise identical. Unlikely to be encountered outside the Rust build system.
Fixed bugs around how type inference interacts with dead-code. 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
Lifetime parameters that do not appear in the arguments are now considered early-bound, 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
Make transmuting from fn item types to pointer-sized types a hard error
pkgsrc notes:
* The build requires binary bootstraps built by the Rust team. Due
to the requirement that only the previous version is supported as
a bootstrap compiler, and new versions of Rust are released every
6 weeks, it is unlikely to be practical to build TNF bootstraps.
Users should evaluate whether they trust binaries from upstream.
* There is currently no SunOS bootstrap provided by the Rust team,
so for now a version built by myself is provided by Joyent.
* Only Darwin/Linux/SunOS are currently supported. The Rust team do
provide NetBSD bootstraps so support should be easy enough to add.
Information about Rust from the DESCR:
Rust is a systems programming language focused on three goals: safety,
speed, and concurrency. It maintains these goals without having a
garbage collector, making it a useful language for a number of use cases
other languages aren't good at: embedding in other languages, programs
with specific space and time requirements, and writing low-level code,
like device drivers and operating systems.
It improves on current languages targeting this space by having a number
of compile-time safety checks that produce no runtime overhead, while
eliminating all data races. Rust also aims to achieve "zero-cost
abstractions" even though some of these abstractions feel like those of
a high-level language. Even then, Rust still allows precise control
like a low-level language would.
