Version 1.19.0 (2017-07-20)
===========================
Language
--------
- [Numeric fields can now be used for creating tuple structs.][41145] [RFC 1506]
For example `struct Point(u32, u32); let x = Point { 0: 7, 1: 0 };`.
- [Macro recursion limit increased to 1024 from 64.][41676]
- [Added lint for detecting unused macros.][41907]
- [`loop` can now return a value with `break`.][42016] [RFC 1624]
For example: `let x = loop { break 7; };`
- [C compatible `union`s are now available.][42068] [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 `fn`s,][42162] [RFC 1558]
Example: `let foo: fn(u8) -> u8 = |v: u8| { v };`
Compiler
--------
- [Add support for bootstrapping the Rust compiler toolchain on Android.][41370]
- [Change `arm-linux-androideabi` to correspond to the `armeabi`
official ABI.][41656] 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.][41873]
- [Minor optimisation of string operations.][42037]
- [Compiler error message is now `aborting due to previous error(s)` instead of
`aborting due to N previous errors`][42150] This was previously inaccurate and
would only count certain kinds of errors.
- [The compiler now supports Visual Studio 2017][42225]
- [The compiler is now built against LLVM 4.0.1 by default][42948]
- [Added a lot][42264] of [new error codes][42302]
- [Added `target-feature=+crt-static` option][37406] [RFC 1721] Which allows
libraries with C Run-time Libraries(CRT) to be statically linked.
- [Fixed various ARM codegen bugs][42740]
Libraries
---------
- [`String` now implements `FromIterator<Cow<'a, str>>` and
`Extend<Cow<'a, str>>`][41449]
- [`Vec` now implements `From<&mut [T]>`][41530]
- [`Box<[u8]>` now implements `From<Box<str>>`][41258]
- [`SplitWhitespace` now implements `Clone`][41659]
- [`[u8]::reverse` is now 5x faster and `[u16]::reverse` is now
1.5x faster][41764]
- [`eprint!` and `eprintln!` macros added to prelude.][41192] Same as the `print!`
macros, but for printing to stderr.
Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`OsString::shrink_to_fit`]
- [`cmp::Reverse`]
- [`Command::envs`]
- [`thread::ThreadId`]
Cargo
-----
- [Build scripts can now add environment variables to the environment
the crate is being compiled in.
Example: `println!("cargo:rustc-env=FOO=bar");`][cargo/3929]
- [Subcommands now replace the current process rather than spawning a new
child process][cargo/3970]
- [Workspace members can now accept glob file patterns][cargo/3979]
- [Added `--all` flag to the `cargo bench` subcommand to run benchmarks of all
the members in a given workspace.][cargo/3988]
- [Updated `libssh2-sys` to 0.2.6][cargo/4008]
- [Target directory path is now in the cargo metadata][cargo/4022]
- [Cargo no longer checks out a local working directory for the
crates.io index][cargo/4026] This should provide smaller file size for the
registry, and improve cloning times, especially on Windows machines.
- [Added an `--exclude` option for excluding certain packages when using the
`--all` option][cargo/4031]
- [Cargo will now automatically retry when receiving a 5xx error
from crates.io][cargo/4032]
- [The `--features` option now accepts multiple comma or space
delimited values.][cargo/4084]
- [Added support for custom target specific runners][cargo/3954]
Misc
----
- [Added `rust-windbg.cmd`][39983] for loading rust `.natvis` files in the
Windows Debugger.
- [Rust will now release XZ compressed packages][rust-installer/57]
- [rustup will now prefer to download rust packages with
XZ compression][rustup/1100] over GZip packages.
- [Added the ability to escape `#` in rust documentation][41785] By adding
additional `#`'s ie. `##` is now `#`
Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [`MutexGuard<T>` may only be `Sync` if `T` is `Sync`.][41624]
- [`-Z` flags are now no longer allowed to be used on the stable
compiler.][41751] This has been a warning for a year previous to this.
- [As a result of the `-Z` flag change, the `cargo-check` plugin no
longer works][42844]. 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 error.
Example: `42._` .][41946]
- [Any use of a private `extern crate` outside of its module is now a
hard error.][36886] This was previously a warning.
- [`use ::self::foo;` is now a hard error.][36888] `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][36890]
This was previously a warning.
- [Struct or enum constants that don't derive `PartialEq` & `Eq` used
match patterns is now a hard error][36891] This was previously a warning.
- [Lifetimes named `'_` are no longer allowed.][36892] This was previously
a warning.
- [From the pound escape, lines consisting of multiple `#`s are
now visible][41785]
- [It is an error to reexport private enum variants][42460]. 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][42607]
