+===========================
+
+Language
+--------
+
+* [`..` matches multiple tuple fields in enum variants, structs
+  and tuples][36843]. [RFC 1492].
+* [Safe `fn` items can be coerced to `unsafe fn` pointers][37389]
+* [`use *` and `use ::*` both glob-import from the crate root][37367]
+* [It's now possible to call a `Vec<Box<Fn()>>` without explicit
+  dereferencing][36822]
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+* [Mark enums with non-zero discriminant as non-zero][37224]
+* [Lower-case `static mut` names are linted like other
+  statics and consts][37162]
+* [Fix ICE on some macros in const integer positions
+   (e.g. `[u8; m!()]`)][36819]
+* [Improve error message and snippet for "did you mean `x`"][36798]
+* [Add a panic-strategy field to the target specification][36794]
+* [Include LLVM version in `--version --verbose`][37200]
+

+--------------------------
+
+* [Improve macro expansion performance][37569]

+* [Avoid some allocations in the macro parser][37318]
+* [Use a faster deflate setting][37298]

+  `VecDeque` iterators][37315]
+* [Improve `SipHasher` performance on small values][37312]

+* [Implement `RefUnwindSafe` for atomic types][37178]
+* [Specialize `Vec::extend` to `Vec::extend_from_slice`][37094]
+* [Avoid allocations in `Decoder::read_str`][37064]
+* [`io::Error` implements `From<io::ErrorKind>`][37037]

+Tooling
+-------
+
+* [rustup is the recommended Rust installation method][1.14rustup]
+* This release includes [experimental support for WebAssembly][1.14wasm]
+* This release includes builds for ARM Linux running MUSL libc. Add the
+  `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`, `arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`, and
+  `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf` targets via `rustup target add`.
+* rustup no longer installs documentation by default. Run `rustup
+  component add rust-docs` to install.
+* [Fix line stepping in debugger][37310]
+* [Enable line number debuginfo in releases][37280]
+
+Misc
+----

+* [Add support for Fuchsia OS][37313]
+* [Detect local-rebuild by only MAJOR.MINOR version][37273]
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+
+* [A number of forward-compatibility lints used by the compiler
+  to gradually introduce language changes have been converted
+  to deny by default][36894]:
+  - ["use of inaccessible extern crate erroneously allowed"][36886]
+  - ["type parameter default erroneously allowed in invalid location"][36887]
+  - ["detects super or self keywords at the beginning of global path"][36888]
+  - ["two overlapping inherent impls define an item with the same name
+    were erroneously allowed"][36889]
+  - ["floating-point constants cannot be used in patterns"][36890]
+  - ["constants of struct or enum type can only be used in a pattern if
+     the struct or enum has `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq)]`"][36891]
+  - ["lifetimes or labels named `'_` were erroneously allowed"][36892]
+* [Prohibit patterns in trait methods without bodies][37378]
+* [The atomic `Ordering` enum may not be matched exhaustively][37351]
+* [Future-proofing `#[no_link]` breaks some obscure cases][37247]
+* [The `$crate` macro variable is accepted in fewer locations][37213]
+* [Impls specifying extra region requirements beyond the trait
+  they implement are rejected][37167]
+* [Enums may not be unsized][37111]. Unsized enums are intended to
+  work but never have. For now they are forbidden.
+* [Enforce the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560 for today's macros][36767]
