Version 1.5.0 (2015-12-10)
==========================
* ~700 changes, numerous bugfixes
Highlights
----------
* Stabilized APIs:
[`BinaryHeap::from`], [`BinaryHeap::into_sorted_vec`],
[`BinaryHeap::into_vec`], [`Condvar::wait_timeout`],
[`FileTypeExt::is_block_device`], [`FileTypeExt::is_char_device`],
[`FileTypeExt::is_fifo`], [`FileTypeExt::is_socket`],
[`FileTypeExt`], [`Formatter::alternate`], [`Formatter::fill`],
[`Formatter::precision`], [`Formatter::sign_aware_zero_pad`],
[`Formatter::sign_minus`], [`Formatter::sign_plus`],
[`Formatter::width`], [`Iterator::cmp`], [`Iterator::eq`],
[`Iterator::ge`], [`Iterator::gt`], [`Iterator::le`],
[`Iterator::lt`], [`Iterator::ne`], [`Iterator::partial_cmp`],
[`Path::canonicalize`], [`Path::exists`], [`Path::is_dir`],
[`Path::is_file`], [`Path::metadata`], [`Path::read_dir`],
[`Path::read_link`], [`Path::symlink_metadata`],
[`Utf8Error::valid_up_to`], [`Vec::resize`],
[`VecDeque::as_mut_slices`], [`VecDeque::as_slices`],
[`VecDeque::insert`], [`VecDeque::shrink_to_fit`],
[`VecDeque::swap_remove_back`], [`VecDeque::swap_remove_front`],
[`slice::split_first_mut`], [`slice::split_first`],
[`slice::split_last_mut`], [`slice::split_last`],
[`char::from_u32_unchecked`], [`fs::canonicalize`],
[`str::MatchIndices`], [`str::RMatchIndices`],
[`str::match_indices`], [`str::rmatch_indices`],
[`str::slice_mut_unchecked`], [`string::ParseError`].
* Rust applications hosted on crates.io can be installed locally to
`~/.cargo/bin` with the [`cargo install`] command. Among other
things this makes it easier to augment Cargo with new subcommands:
when a binary named e.g. `cargo-foo` is found in `$PATH` it can be
invoked as `cargo foo`.
* Crates with wildcard (`*`) dependencies will [emit warnings when
published][1.5w]. In 1.6 it will no longer be possible to publish
crates with wildcard dependencies.
Breaking Changes
----------------
* The rules determining when a particular lifetime must outlive
a particular value (known as '[dropck]') have been [modified
to not rely on parametricity][1.5p].
* [Implementations of `AsRef` and `AsMut` were added to `Box`, `Rc`,
and `Arc`][1.5a]. Because these smart pointer types implement
`Deref`, this causes breakage in cases where the interior type
contains methods of the same name.
* [Correct a bug in Rc/Arc][1.5c] that caused [dropck] to be unaware
that they could drop their content. Soundness fix.
* All method invocations are [properly checked][1.5wf1] for
[well-formedness][1.5wf2]. Soundness fix.
* Traits whose supertraits contain `Self` are [not object
safe][1.5o]. Soundness fix.
* Target specifications support a [`no_default_libraries`][1.5nd]
setting that controls whether `-nodefaultlibs` is passed to the
linker, and in turn the `is_like_windows` setting no longer affects
the `-nodefaultlibs` flag.
* `#[derive(Show)]`, long-deprecated, [has been removed][1.5ds].
* The `#[inline]` and `#[repr]` attributes [can only appear
in valid locations][1.5at].
* Native libraries linked from the local crate are [passed to
the linker before native libraries from upstream crates][1.5nl].
* Two rarely-used attributes, `#[no_debug]` and
`#[omit_gdb_pretty_printer_section]` [are feature gated][1.5fg].
* Negation of unsigned integers, which has been a warning for
several releases, [is now behind a feature gate and will
generate errors][1.5nu].
* The parser accidentally accepted visibility modifiers on
enum variants, a bug [which has been fixed][1.5ev].
* [A bug was fixed that allowed `use` statements to import unstable
features][1.5use].
Language
--------
* When evaluating expressions at compile-time that are not
compile-time constants (const-evaluating expressions in non-const
contexts), incorrect code such as overlong bitshifts and arithmetic
overflow will [generate a warning instead of an error][1.5ce],
delaying the error until runtime. This will allow the
const-evaluator to be expanded in the future backwards-compatibly.
* The `improper_ctypes` lint [no longer warns about using `isize` and
`usize` in FFI][1.5ict].
Libraries
---------
* `Arc<T>` and `Rc<T>` are [covariant with respect to `T` instead of
invariant][1.5c].
* `Default` is [implemented for mutable slices][1.5d].
* `FromStr` is [implemented for `SockAddrV4` and `SockAddrV6`][1.5s].
* There are now `From` conversions [between floating point
types][1.5f] where the conversions are lossless.
* Thera are now `From` conversions [between integer types][1.5i] where
the conversions are lossless.
* [`fs::Metadata` implements `Clone`][1.5fs].
* The `parse` method [accepts a leading "+" when parsing
integers][1.5pi].
* [`AsMut` is implemented for `Vec`][1.5am].
* The `clone_from` implementations for `String` and `BinaryHeap` [have
been optimized][1.5cf] and no longer rely on the default impl.
* The `extern "Rust"`, `extern "C"`, `unsafe extern "Rust"` and
`unsafe extern "C"` function types now [implement `Clone`,
`PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Hash`, `fmt::Pointer`, and
`fmt::Debug` for up to 12 arguments][1.5fp].
* [Dropping `Vec`s is much faster in unoptimized builds when the
element types don't implement `Drop`][1.5dv].
* A bug that caused in incorrect behavior when [combining `VecDeque`
with zero-sized types][1.5vdz] was resolved.
* [`PartialOrd` for slices is faster][1.5po].
Miscellaneous
-------------
* [Crate metadata size was reduced by 20%][1.5md].
* [Improvements to code generation reduced the size of libcore by 3.3
MB and rustc's memory usage by 18MB][1.5m].
* [Improvements to deref translation increased performance in
unoptimized builds][1.5dr].
* Various errors in trait resolution [are deduplicated to only be
reported once][1.5te].
* Rust has preliminary [support for rumprun kernels][1.5rr].
* Rust has preliminary [support for NetBSD on amd64][1.5na].
