Version 1.18.0 (2017-06-08)
===========================
Language
--------
- [Stabilize pub(restricted)][40556] `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][40870] conservative exposure of the
`/SUBSYSTEM` linker flag on Windows platforms. [RFC 1665].
- [Refactor of trait object type parsing][40043] 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][40589]
- [Now warns if you bind a lifetime parameter to 'static][40734]
- [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.][40377]
Compiler
--------
- [rustc can now emit mir with `--emit mir`][39891]
- [Improved LLVM IR for trivial functions][40367]
- [Added explanation for E0090(Wrong number of lifetimes are supplied)][40723]
- [rustc compilation is now 15%-20% faster][41469] Thanks to optimisation
opportunities found through profiling
- [Improved backtrace formatting when panicking][38165]
Libraries
---------
- [Specialized `Vec::from_iter` being passed `vec::IntoIter`][40731] if the
iterator hasn't been advanced the original `Vec` is reassembled with no actual
iteration or reallocation.
- [Simplified HashMap Bucket interface][40561] provides performance
improvements for iterating and cloning.
- [Specialize Vec::from_elem to use calloc][40409]
- [Fixed Race condition in fs::create_dir_all][39799]
- [No longer caching stdio on Windows][40516]
- [Optimized insertion sort in slice][40807] insertion sort in some cases
2.50%~ faster and in one case now 12.50% faster.
- [Optimized `AtomicBool::fetch_nand`][41143]
Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Child::try_wait`]
- [`HashMap::retain`]
- [`HashSet::retain`]
- [`PeekMut::pop`]
- [`TcpStream::peek`]
- [`UdpSocket::peek`]
- [`UdpSocket::peek_from`]
Cargo
-----
- [Added partial Pijul support][cargo/3842] Pijul is a version control system in Rust.
You can now create new cargo projects with Pijul using `cargo new --vcs pijul`
- [Now always emits build script warnings for crates that fail to build][cargo/3847]
- [Added Android build support][cargo/3885]
- [Added `--bins` and `--tests` flags][cargo/3901] now you can build all programs
of a certain type, for example `cargo build --bins` will build all
binaries.
- [Added support for haiku][cargo/3952]
Misc
----
- [rustdoc can now use pulldown-cmark with the `--enable-commonmark` flag][40338]
- [Added rust-winbg script for better debugging on Windows][39983]
- [Rust now uses the official cross compiler for NetBSD][40612]
- [rustdoc now accepts `#` at the start of files][40828]
- [Fixed jemalloc support for musl][41168]
Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Changes to how the `0` flag works in format!][40241] 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][40377], 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][40043] 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 `impl`s are now a hard error][40728]
- [`PartialOrd` and `Ord` must agree on the ordering.][41270]
- [`rustc main.rs -o out --emit=asm,llvm-ir`][41085] 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][41805] when
the size of `Self` cannot be statically determined.
- [rustc now builds with a "pthreads" flavour of MinGW for Windows GNU][40805]
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)
