* ~700 changes, numerous bugfixes
* Language
* Traits may inherit from other traits
* Traits may declare default methods for the impls to use
* More support for explicit self arguments in methods - `self`, `&self`
`@self`, and `~self` all generally work as expected
* Static methods improved to work in more situations
* Syntax changes
* Removed `<-` move operator
* Completed the transition from the `#fmt` extension syntax to `fmt!`
* Removed old fixed length vector syntax - `[T]/N`
* Item macros
* Remove `<-` move operator
* Tuple structs - `struct Foo(Bar, Baz)`. Will replace newtype enums.
* Eq impls can be derived with #[deriving_eq]
* IterBytes impls can be derived with #[deriving_iter_bytes]
* Destructors can be added to all nominal types with the Drop trait
* Removed the special crate language for .rc files
* New token-based quasi-quoter, `quote!`
* More things can be constants now, including structs and
nullary enum variants
* Macros may now expand to items
* `a.b()` is always parsed as a method call, never as a field projection
* `Eq` and `IterBytes` implementations can be automatically generated
with `#[deriving_eq]` and `#[deriving_iter_bytes]` respectively
* Removed the special crate language for `.rc` files
* Semantic changes
* `&` and `~` pointers may point to objects
* Tuple structs - `struct Foo(Bar, Baz)`. Will replace newtype enums.
* Enum variants may be structs
* Destructors can be added to all nominal types with the Drop trait
* Structs and nullary enum variants may be constants
* Values that cannot be implicitly copied are now automatically moved
without writing `move` explicitly
* `&T` may now be coerced to `*T`
* Coercions happen in `let` statements as well as function calls
* Improved support for language features
* Trait inheritance is much more complete
* Traits may declare default methods for the implementations to use
* More support for explicit self arguments in methods - `self`, `&self`
`@self`, and `~self` all generally work as expected
* Static methods work in more situations
* Libraries
* New condition handling system in core::condition
* Timsort added to std::sort
* New condition handling system in `core::condition`
* Timsort added to `std::sort`
* Serialization overhauled to be trait-based
* Expanded getopts definitions
* Moved futures to std
* Expanded `getopts` definitions
* Moved futures to `std`
* More functions are pure now
* Tools
* Added a new, but still immature, REPL, rusti
* rustdoc and cargo are libraries now
* Added a new (still immature) REPL, `rusti`
* `rustdoc` and `cargo` are libraries now
