• Stabilize several s390x vector-related target features and the is_s390x_feature_detected! macro
• Stabilize declaration of C-style variadic functions for the system ABI
• Emit error when using some keyword as a cfg predicate
• Stabilize asm_cfg
• During const-evaluation, support copying pointers byte-by-byte
• LUB coercions now correctly handle function item types, and functions with differing safeties
• Allow const items that contain mutable references to static (which is very unsafe, but not always UB)
• Add warn-by-default const_item_interior_mutations lint to warn against calls which mutate interior mutable const items
• Add warn-by-default function_casts_as_integer lint

• Stabilize -Cjump-tables=bool. The flag was previously called -Zno-jump-tables.

• Promote riscv64a23-unknown-linux-gnu to Tier 2 (without host tools)

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• Stop internally using specialization on the Copy trait as it is unsound in the presence of lifetime dependent Copy implementations. This may result in some performance regressions as some standard library APIs may now call Clone::clone instead of performing bitwise copies
• Allow the global allocator to use thread-local storage and std::thread::current()
• Make BTree::append not update existing keys when appending an entry which already exists
• Don't require T: RefUnwindSafe for vec::IntoIter<T>: UnwindSafe

• Enable CARGO_CFG_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS in build scripts based on profile
• In cargo tree, support long forms for --format variables
• Add --workspace to cargo clean

• Remove #![doc(document_private_items)]
• Include attribute and derive macros in search filters for "macros"
• Include extern crates in search filters for import
• Validate usage of crate-level doc attributes. This means if any of html_favicon_url, html_logo_url, html_playground_url, issue_tracker_base_url, or html_no_source either has a missing value, an unexpected value, or a value of the wrong type, rustdoc will emit the deny-by-default lint rustdoc::invalid_doc_attributes.

• Introduce pin_v2 into the builtin attributes namespace
• Update bundled musl to 1.2.5
• On Emscripten, the unwinding ABI used when compiling with panic=unwind was changed from the JS exception handling ABI to the wasm exception handling ABI. If linking C/C++ object files with Rust objects, -fwasm-exceptions must be passed to the linker now. On nightly Rust, it is possible to get the old behavior with -Zwasm-emscripten-eh=false -Zbuild-std, but it will be removed in a future release.
• The #[test] attribute, used to define tests, was previously ignored in various places where it had no meaning (e.g on trait methods or types). Putting the #[test] attribute in these places is no longer ignored, and will now result in an error; this may also result in errors when generating rustdoc. Error when test attribute is applied to structs
• Cargo now sets the CARGO_CFG_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS environment variable in more situations. This will cause crates depending on static-init versions 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 to fail compilation with "failed to resolve: use of unresolved module or unlinked crate parking_lot". See the linked issue for details.
• User written types in the offset_of! macro are now checked to be well formed.
• cargo publish no longer emits .crate files as a final artifact for user access when the build.build-dir config is unset
• Upgrade the deref_nullptr lint from warn-by-default to deny-by-default
• Add future-incompatibility warning for ... function parameters without a pattern outside of extern blocks
• Introduce future-compatibility warning for repr(C) enums whose discriminant values do not fit into a c_int or c_uint
• Introduce future-compatibility warning against ignoring repr(C) types as part of repr(transparent)

• Document MaybeUninit representation and validity
• Allow &raw [mut | const] for union field in safe code
• Prefer item bounds of associated types over where-bounds for auto-traits and Sized
• Do not materialize X in [X; 0] when X is unsizing a const
• Support combining #[track_caller] and #[no_mangle] (requires every declaration specifying #[track_caller] as well)
• Make never type lints never_type_fallback_flowing_into_unsafe and dependency_on_unit_never_type_fallback deny-by-default
• Allow specifying multiple bounds for same associated item, except in trait objects
• Slightly strengthen higher-ranked region handling in coherence
• The unused_must_use lint no longer warns on Result<(), Uninhabited> (for instance, Result<(), !>), or ControlFlow<Uninhabited, ()>. This avoids having to check for an error that can never happen.

• Make mips64el-unknown-linux-muslabi64 link dynamically
• Remove current code for embedding command-line args in PDB Command-line information is typically not needed by debugging tools, and the removed code was causing problems for incremental builds even on targets that don't use PDB debuginfo.

• Specialize Iterator::eq{_by} for TrustedLen iterators
• Simplify Extend for tuples
• Added details to Debug for EncodeWide.
• iter::Repeat::last and count will now panic, rather than looping infinitely.

• impl Extend<proc_macro::Literal> for proc_macro::TokenStream
• impl Extend<proc_macro::Punct> for proc_macro::TokenStream
• impl Extend<proc_macro::Ident> for proc_macro::TokenStream

These previously stable APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• <[_]>::rotate_left
• <[_]>::rotate_right

• Added a new chapter to the Cargo book, "Optimizing Build Performance".

• If a trait item appears in rustdoc search, hide the corresponding impl items. Previously a search for "last" would show both Iterator::last as well as impl methods like std::vec::IntoIter::last. Now these impl methods will be hidden, freeing up space for inherent methods like BTreeSet::last.
• Relax rules for identifiers in search. Previously you could only search for identifiers that were valid in rust code, now searches only need to be valid as part of an identifier. For example, you can now perform a search that starts with a digit.

• Fix backtraces with -C panic=abort on Linux by generating unwind tables by default. Build with -C force-unwind-tables=no to keep omitting unwind tables.

• As part of the larger effort refactoring compiler built-in attributes and their diagnostics, the future-compatibility lint invalid_macro_export_arguments is upgraded to deny-by-default and will be reported in dependencies too.
• Update the minimum external LLVM to 20
• Prevent downstream impl DerefMut for Pin<LocalType>
• Don't apply temporary lifetime extension rules to the arguments of non-extended pin! and formatting macros

• Enable file locking support in illumos. This fixes Cargo not locking the build directory on illumos.
• Fix wasm_import_module attribute cross-crate. This fixes linker errors on WASM targets.

• Lower pattern bindings in the order they're written and base drop order on primary bindings' order
• Stabilize declaration of C-style variadic functions for sysv64, win64, efiapi, and aapcs ABIs. This brings these ABIs in line with the C ABI: variadic functions can be declared in extern blocks but not defined.
• Add dangling_pointers_from_locals lint to warn against dangling pointers from local variables
• Upgrade semicolon_in_expressions_from_macros from warn to deny
• Stabilize LoongArch32 inline assembly
• Add warn-by-default integer_to_ptr_transmutes lint against integer-to-pointer transmutes
• Stabilize sse4a and tbm target features
• Add target_env = "macabi" and target_env = "sim" cfgs as replacements for the target_abi cfgs with the same values.

• Don't warn on never-to-any as casts as unreachable

• Promote aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm and x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm to Tier 2 with host tools. Note: llvm-tools and MSI installers are missing but will be added in future releases.
• Promote aarch64-pc-windows-msvc to Tier 1

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• <[T; N]>::each_mut
• OsString::new
• PathBuf::new
• TypeId::of
• ptr::with_exposed_provenance
• ptr::with_exposed_provenance_mut

• 🎉 Stabilize build.build-dir. This config sets the directory where intermediate build artifacts are stored. These artifacts are produced by Cargo and rustc during the build process. End users usually won't need to interact with them, and the layout inside build-dir is an implementation detail that may change without notice. (config doc) (build cache doc) #15833 #15840
• The --target flag and the build.target configuration can now take literal "host-tuple" string, which will internally be substituted by the host machine's target triple. #15838 #16003 #16032

• In search results, rank doc aliases lower than non-alias items with the same name
• Raw pointers now work in type-based search like references. This means you can now search for things like *const u8 ->, and additionally functions that take or return raw pointers will now display their signature properly in search results.

• Always require coroutine captures to be drop-live
• Apple: Always pass SDK root when linking with cc, and pass it via SDKROOT env var. This should fix linking issues with rustc running inside Xcode. Libraries in /usr/local/lib may no longer be linked automatically, if you develop or use a crate that relies on this, you should explicitly set cargo::rustc-link-search=/usr/local/lib in a build.rs script.
• Relaxed bounds in associated type bound position like in TraitRef<AssocTy: ?Sized> are now correctly forbidden
• Add unstable #[sanitize(xyz = "on|off")] built-in attribute that shadows procedural macros with the same name
• Fix the drop checker being more permissive for bindings declared with let-else
• Be more strict when parsing attributes, erroring on many invalid attributes
  • Error on invalid #[should_panic] attributes
  • Error on invalid #[link] attributes
• Mark all deprecation lints in name resolution as deny-by-default and also report in dependencies
• The lint semicolon_in_expressions_from_macros, for macro_rules! macros in expression position that expand to end in a semicolon (;), is now deny-by-default. It was already warn-by-default, and a future compatibility warning (FCW) that warned even in dependencies. This lint will become a hard error in the future.
• Trait impl modifiers (e.g., unsafe, !, default) in inherent impls are no longer syntactically valid
• Start reporting future breakage for ill_formed_attribute_input in dependencies
• Restrict the scope of temporaries created by the macros pin!, format_args!, write!, and writeln! in if let scrutinees in Rust Edition 2024. This applies Rust Edition 2024's if let temporary scope rules to these temporaries, which previously could live past the if expression regardless of Edition.
• Invalid numeric literal suffixes in tuple indexing, tuple struct indexing, and struct field name positions are now correctly rejected
• Closures marked with the keyword static are now syntactically invalid
• Shebangs inside --cfg and --check-cfg arguments are no longer allowed
• Add future incompatibility lint for temporary lifetime shortening in Rust 1.92

Cargo compatibility notes:

• cargo publish no longer keeps .crate tarballs as final build artifacts when build.build-dir is set. These tarballs were previously included due to an oversight and are now treated as intermediate artifacts. To get .crate tarballs as final artifacts, use cargo package. In a future version, this change will apply regardless of build.build-dir. #15910
• Adjust Cargo messages to match rustc diagnostic style. This changes some of the terminal colors used by Cargo messages. #15928
• Tools and projects relying on the internal details of Cargo's build-dir may not work for users changing their build-dir layout. For those doing so, we'd recommend proactively testing these cases particularly as we are considering changing the default location of the build-dir in the future (cargo#16147). If you can't migrate off of Cargo's internal details, we'd like to learn more about your use case as we prepare to change the layout of the build-dir (cargo#15010).

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

• Update to LLVM 21

• Split up the unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes lint. This lint has been split up into four finer-grained lints, with unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes now being the lint group that contains these lints:
  1. unknown_diagnostic_attributes: unknown to the current compiler
  2. misplaced_diagnostic_attributes: placed on the wrong item
  3. malformed_diagnostic_attributes: malformed attribute syntax or options
  4. malformed_diagnostic_format_literals: malformed format string literal
• Allow constants whose final value has references to mutable/external memory, but reject such constants as patterns
• Allow volatile access to non-Rust memory, including address 0

• Use lld by default on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
• Tier 3 musl targets now link dynamically by default. Affected targets:
  • mips64-unknown-linux-muslabi64
  • powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl
  • powerpc-unknown-linux-musl
  • powerpc-unknown-linux-muslspe
  • riscv32gc-unknown-linux-musl
  • s390x-unknown-linux-musl
  • thumbv7neon-unknown-linux-musleabihf

• Demote x86_64-apple-darwin to Tier 2 with host tools

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• Stabilize u*::{checked,overflowing,saturating,wrapping}_sub_signed
• Allow comparisons between CStr, CString, and Cow<CStr>
• Remove some unsized tuple impls since unsized tuples can't be constructed
• Set MSG_NOSIGNAL for UnixStream
• proc_macro::Ident::new now supports $crate.
• Guarantee the pointer returned from Thread::into_raw has at least 8 bytes of alignment

• u{n}::checked_sub_signed
• u{n}::overflowing_sub_signed
• u{n}::saturating_sub_signed
• u{n}::wrapping_sub_signed
• impl Copy for IntErrorKind

These previously stable APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• <[T]>::reverse
• f32::floor
• f32::ceil
• f32::trunc
• f32::fract
• f32::round
• f32::round_ties_even
• f64::floor
• f64::ceil
• f64::trunc
• f64::fract
• f64::round
• f64::round_ties_even

• Add http.proxy-cainfo config for proxy certs
• Use gix for cargo package
• feat(publish): Stabilize multi-package publishing

• Add ways to collapse all impl blocks. Previously the "Summary" button and "-" keyboard shortcut would never collapse impl blocks, now they do when shift is held
• Display unsafe attributes with unsafe() wrappers

• Use lld by default on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. See also https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/01/rust-lld-on-1.90.0-stable/.
• Make core::iter::Fuse's Default impl construct I::default() internally as promised in the docs instead of always being empty
• Set MSG_NOSIGNAL for UnixStream This may change program behavior but results in the same behavior as other primitives (e.g., stdout, network sockets). Programs relying on signals to terminate them should update handling of sockets to handle errors on write by exiting.
• On Unix std::env::home_dir will use the fallback if the HOME environment variable is empty
• We now reject unsupported extern "{abi}"s consistently in all positions. This primarily affects the use of implementing traits on an extern "{abi}" function pointer, like extern "stdcall" fn(), on a platform that doesn't support that, like aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu. Direct usage of these unsupported ABI strings by declaring or defining functions was already rejected, so this is only a change for consistency.
• const-eval: error when initializing a static writes to that static
• Check that the proc_macro_derive macro has correct arguments when applied to the crate root

• Stabilize explicitly inferred const arguments (feature(generic_arg_infer))
• Add a warn-by-default mismatched_lifetime_syntaxes lint. This lint detects when the same lifetime is referred to by different syntax categories between function arguments and return values, which can be confusing to read, especially in unsafe code. This lint supersedes the warn-by-default elided_named_lifetimes lint.
• Expand unpredictable_function_pointer_comparisons to also lint on function pointer comparisons in external macros
• Make the dangerous_implicit_autorefs lint deny-by-default
• Stabilize the avx512 target features
• Stabilize kl and widekl target features for x86
• Stabilize sha512, sm3 and sm4 target features for x86
• Stabilize LoongArch target features f, d, frecipe, lasx, lbt, lsx, and lvz
• Remove i128 and u128 from improper_ctypes_definitions
• Stabilize repr128 (#[repr(u128)], #[repr(i128)])
• Allow #![doc(test(attr(..)))] everywhere
• Extend temporary lifetime extension to also go through tuple struct and tuple variant constructors
• extern "C" functions on the wasm32-unknown-unknown target now have a standards compliant ABI

• Default to non-leaf frame pointers on aarch64-linux
• Enable non-leaf frame pointers for Arm64EC Windows
• Set Apple frame pointers by architecture

• Add new Tier-3 targets loongarch32-unknown-none and loongarch32-unknown-none-softfloat
• x86_64-apple-darwin is in the process of being demoted to Tier 2 with host tools

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• Specify the base path for file!
• Allow storing format_args!() in a variable

• OsString::leak
• PathBuf::leak
• Result::flatten
• std::os::linux::net::TcpStreamExt::quickack
• std::os::linux::net::TcpStreamExt::set_quickack

These previously stable APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• <[T; N]>::as_mut_slice
• <[u8]>::eq_ignore_ascii_case
• str::eq_ignore_ascii_case

• cargo fix and cargo clippy --fix now default to the same Cargo target selection as other build commands. Previously it would apply to all targets (like binaries, examples, tests, etc.). The --edition flag still applies to all targets.
• Stabilize doctest-xcompile. Doctests are now tested when cross-compiling. Just like other tests, it will use the runner setting to run the tests. If you need to disable tests for a target, you can use the ignore doctest attribute to specify the targets to ignore.

• On mobile, make the sidebar full width and linewrap. This makes long section and item names much easier to deal with on mobile.

• Make missing_fragment_specifier an unconditional error
• Enabling the neon target feature on aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat causes a warning because mixing code with and without that target feature is not properly supported by LLVM
• Sized Hierarchy: Part I
  • Introduces a small breaking change affecting ?Sized bounds on impls on recursive types which contain associated type projections. It is not expected to affect any existing published crates. Can be fixed by refactoring the involved types or opting into the sized_hierarchy unstable feature. See the FCP report for a code example.
• The warn-by-default elided_named_lifetimes lint is superseded by the warn-by-default mismatched_lifetime_syntaxes lint.
• Error on recursive opaque types earlier in the type checker
• Type inference side effects from requiring element types of array repeat expressions are Copy are now only available at the end of type checking
• The deprecated accidentally-stable std::intrinsics::{copy,copy_nonoverlapping,write_bytes} are now proper intrinsics. There are no debug assertions guarding against UB, and they cannot be coerced to function pointers.
• Remove long-deprecated std::intrinsics::drop_in_place
• Make well-formedness predicates no longer coinductive
• Remove hack when checking impl method compatibility
• Remove unnecessary type inference due to built-in trait object impls
• Lint against "stdcall", "fastcall", and "cdecl" on non-x86-32 targets
• Future incompatibility warnings relating to the never type (!) are now reported in dependencies
• Ensure std::ptr::copy_* intrinsics also perform the static self-init checks
• extern "C" functions on the wasm32-unknown-unknown target now have a standards compliant ABI

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

• Correctly un-remap compiler sources paths with the rustc-dev component

• Stabilize #![feature(let_chains)] in the 2024 edition. This feature allows &&-chaining let statements inside if and while, allowing intermixture with boolean expressions. The patterns inside the let sub-expressions can be irrefutable or refutable.
• Stabilize #![feature(naked_functions)]. Naked functions allow writing functions with no compiler-generated epilogue and prologue, allowing full control over the generated assembly for a particular function.
• Stabilize #![feature(cfg_boolean_literals)]. This allows using boolean literals as cfg predicates, e.g. #[cfg(true)] and #[cfg(false)].
• Fully de-stabilize the #[bench] attribute. Usage of #[bench] without #![feature(custom_test_frameworks)] already triggered a deny-by-default future-incompatibility lint since Rust 1.77, but will now become a hard error.
• Add warn-by-default dangerous_implicit_autorefs lint against implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference. The lint will be bumped to deny-by-default in the next version of Rust.
• Add invalid_null_arguments lint to prevent invalid usage of null pointers. This lint is uplifted from clippy::invalid_null_ptr_usage.
• Change trait impl candidate preference for builtin impls and trivial where-clauses.
• Check types of generic const parameter defaults

• Stabilize -Cdwarf-version for selecting the version of DWARF debug information to generate.

• Demote i686-pc-windows-gnu to Tier 2.

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• Remove backticks from #[should_panic] test failure message.
• Guarantee that [T; N]::from_fn is generated in order of increasing indices., for those passing it a stateful closure.
• The libtest flag --nocapture is deprecated in favor of the more consistent --no-capture flag.
• Guarantee that {float}::NAN is a quiet NaN.

• std::ptr::swap_nonoverlapping
• Cell::replace
• Cell::get
• Cell::get_mut
• Cell::from_mut
• Cell::as_slice_of_cells

• Stabilize automatic garbage collection.
• use zlib-rs for gzip compression in rust code

• Doctests can be ignored based on target names using ignore-* attributes.
• Stabilize the --test-runtool and --test-runtool-arg CLI options to specify a program (like qemu) and its arguments to run a doctest.

• Finish changing the internal representation of pasted tokens. Certain invalid declarative macros that were previously accepted in obscure circumstances are now correctly rejected by the compiler. Use of a tt fragment specifier can often fix these macros.
• Fully de-stabilize the #[bench] attribute. Usage of #[bench] without #![feature(custom_test_frameworks)] already triggered a deny-by-default future-incompatibility lint since Rust 1.77, but will now become a hard error.
• Fix borrow checking some always-true patterns. The borrow checker was overly permissive in some cases, allowing programs that shouldn't have compiled.
• Update the minimum external LLVM to 19.
• Make it a hard error to use a vector type with a non-Rust ABI without enabling the required target feature.

• Stabilize asm_goto feature
• Allow parsing open beginning ranges (..EXPR) after unary operators !, -, and *.
• Don't require method impls for methods with Self: Sized bounds in impls for unsized types
• Stabilize feature(precise_capturing_in_traits) allowing use<...> bounds on return position impl Trait in traits

• x86: make SSE2 required for i686 targets and use it to pass SIMD types

• Remove i586-pc-windows-msvc target

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• Stabilize the anonymous pipe API
• Add support for unbounded left/right shift operations
• Print pointer metadata in Debug impl of raw pointers
• Vec::with_capacity guarantees it allocates with the amount requested, even if Vec::capacity returns a different number.
• Most std::arch intrinsics which don't take pointer arguments can now be called from safe code if the caller has the appropriate target features already enabled (https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1714, https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1716, https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1717)

• Rust now raises an error for macro invocations inside the #![crate_name] attribute
• Unstable fields are now always considered to be inhabited
• Macro arguments of unary operators followed by open beginning ranges may now be matched differently
• Make Debug impl of raw pointers print metadata if present
• Warn against function pointers using unsupported ABI strings in dependencies
• Associated types on dyn types are no longer deduplicated
• Forbid attributes on .. inside of struct patterns (let Struct { #[attribute] .. }) =
• Make ptr_cast_add_auto_to_object lint into hard error
• Many std::arch intrinsics are now safe to call in some contexts, there may now be new unused_unsafe warnings in existing codebases.
• Limit width and precision formatting options to 16 bits on all targets
• Turn order dependent trait objects future incompat warning into a hard error
• Denote ControlFlow as #[must_use]
• Windows: The standard library no longer links advapi32, except on win7. Code such as C libraries that were relying on this assumption may need to explicitly link advapi32.
• Proc macros can no longer observe expanded cfg(true) attributes.
• Start changing the internal representation of pasted tokens. Certain invalid declarative macros that were previously accepted in obscure circumstances are now correctly rejected by the compiler. Use of a tt fragment specifier can often fix these macros.
• Don't allow flattened format_args in const.

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

• Update to LLVM 20

• Stabilize upcasting trait objects to supertraits.
• Allow safe functions to be marked with the #[target_feature] attribute.
• The missing_abi lint now warns-by-default.
• Rust now lints about double negations, to catch cases that might have intended to be a prefix decrement operator (--x) as written in other languages. This was previously a clippy lint, clippy::double_neg, and is now available directly in Rust as double_negations.
• More pointers are now detected as definitely not-null based on their alignment in const eval.
• Empty repr() attribute applied to invalid items are now correctly rejected.
• Inner attributes #![test] and #![rustfmt::skip] are no longer accepted in more places than intended.

• Debug-assert that raw pointers are non-null on access.
• Change -O to mean -C opt-level=3 instead of -C opt-level=2 to match Cargo's defaults.
• Fix emission of overflowing_literals under certain macro environments.

• Replace i686-unknown-redox target with i586-unknown-redox.
• Increase baseline CPU of i686-unknown-hurd-gnu to Pentium 4.
• New tier 3 targets:
  • {aarch64-unknown,x86_64-pc}-nto-qnx710_iosock. For supporting Neutrino QNX 7.1 with io-socket network stack.
  • {aarch64-unknown,x86_64-pc}-nto-qnx800. For supporting Neutrino QNX 8.0 (no_std-only).
  • {x86_64,i686}-win7-windows-gnu. Intended for backwards compatibility with Windows 7. {x86_64,i686}-win7-windows-msvc are the Windows MSVC counterparts that already exist as Tier 3 targets.
  • amdgcn-amd-amdhsa.
  • x86_64-pc-cygwin.
  • {mips,mipsel}-mti-none-elf. Initial bare-metal support.
  • m68k-unknown-none-elf.
  • armv7a-nuttx-{eabi,eabihf}, aarch64-unknown-nuttx, and thumbv7a-nuttx-{eabi,eabihf}.

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

• The type of FromBytesWithNulError in CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<&Self, FromBytesWithNulError> was changed from an opaque struct to an enum, allowing users to examine why the conversion failed.
• Remove RustcDecodable and RustcEncodable.
• Deprecate libtest's --logfile option.
• On recent versions of Windows, std::fs::remove_file will now remove read-only files.

• io::Cursor::set_position
• str::is_char_boundary
• str::split_at
• str::split_at_checked
• str::split_at_mut
• str::split_at_mut_checked

• When merging, replace rather than combine configuration keys that refer to a program path and its arguments.
• Error if both --package and --workspace are passed but the requested package is missing. This was previously silently ignored, which was considered a bug since missing packages should be reported.
• Deprecate the token argument in cargo login to avoid shell history leaks.
• Simplify the implementation of SourceID comparisons. This may potentially change behavior if the canonicalized URL compares differently in alternative registries.

• Add a sans-serif font setting.

• The wasm_c_abi future compatibility warning is now a hard error. Users of wasm-bindgen should upgrade to at least version 0.2.89, otherwise compilation will fail.
• Remove long-deprecated no-op attributes #![no_start] and #![crate_id].
• The future incompatibility lint cenum_impl_drop_cast has been made into a hard error. This means it is now an error to cast a field-less enum to an integer if the enum implements Drop.
• SSE2 is now required for "i686" 32-bit x86 hard-float targets; disabling it causes a warning that will become a hard error eventually. To compile for pre-SSE2 32-bit x86, use a "i586" target instead.

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

• Build the rustc on AArch64 Linux with ThinLTO + PGO. The ARM 64-bit compiler (AArch64) on Linux is now optimized with ThinLTO and PGO, similar to the optimizations we have already performed for the x86-64 compiler on Linux. This should make it up to 30% faster.

• Fix the doctest-merging feature of the 2024 Edition.
• Relax some target_feature checks when generating docs.
• Fix errors in std::fs::rename on Windows 10, version 1607.
• Downgrade bootstrap cc to fix custom targets.
• Skip submodule updates when building Rust from a source tarball.
