Version 1.0.0-beta (April 2015)
-------------------------------------

* ~1100 changes, numerous bugfixes

* Highlights

* The big news is that the vast majority of the standard library
is now `#[stable]` -- 75% of the non-deprecated API surface at
last count. Numerous crates are now running on stable
Rust. Starting with this release, it is not possible to use
unstable features on a stable build.
* Arithmetic on basic integer types now
[checks for overflow in debug builds][overflow].

* Language

* [`Send` no longer implies `'static`][send-rfc], which made
possible the [`thread::scoped` API][scoped]. Scoped threads can
borrow data from their parent's stack frame -- safely!
* [UFCS now supports trait-less associated paths][moar-ufcs] like
`MyType::default()`.
* Primitive types [now have inherent methods][prim-inherent],
obviating the need for extension traits like `SliceExt`.
* Methods with `Self: Sized` in their `where` clause are
[considered object-safe][self-sized], allowing many extension
traits like `IteratorExt` to be merged into the traits they
extended.
* You can now [refer to associated types][assoc-where] whose
corresponding trait bounds appear only in a `where` clause.
* The final bits of [OIBIT landed][oibit-final], meaning that
traits like `Send` and `Sync` are now library-defined.
* A [Reflect trait][reflect] was introduced, which means that
downcasting via the `Any` trait is effectively limited to
concrete types. This helps retain the potentially-important
"parametricity" property: generic code cannot behave differently
for different type arguments except in minor ways.
* The `unsafe_destructor` feature is now deprecated in favor of
the [new `dropck`][dropck]. This change is a major reduction in
unsafe code.
* Trait coherence was [revised again][fundamental], this time with
an eye toward API evolution over time.

* Libraries

* The new path and IO modules are complete and `#[stable]`. This
was the major library focus for this cycle.
* The path API was [revised][path-normalize] to normalize `.`,
adjusting the tradeoffs in favor of the most common usage.
* A large number of remaining APIs in `std` were also stabilized
during this cycle; about 75% of the non-deprecated API surface
is now stable.
* The new [string pattern API][string-pattern] landed, which makes
the string slice API much more internally consistent and flexible.
* A shiny [framework for Debug implementations][debug-builder] landed.
This makes it possible to opt in to "pretty-printed" debugging output.
* A new set of [generic conversion traits][conversion] replaced
many existing ad hoc traits.
* Generic numeric traits were
[completely removed][num-traits]. This was made possible thanks
to inherent methods for primitive types, and the removal gives
maximal flexibility for designing a numeric hierarchy in the future.
* The `Fn` traits are now related via [inheritance][fn-inherit]
and provide ergonomic [blanket implementations][fn-blanket].
* The `Index` and `IndexMut` traits were changed to
[take the index by value][index-value], enabling code like
`hash_map["string"]` to work.
* `Copy` now [inherits][copy-clone] from `Clone`, meaning that all
`Copy` data is known to be `Clone` as well.

* Infrastructure

* Metadata was tuned, shrinking binaries [by 27%][metadata-shrink].
* Much headway was made on ecosystem-wide CI, making it possible
to [compare builds for breakage][ci-compare].

Version 1.0.0 (May 2015)
========================

* ~1500 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* The vast majority of the standard library is now `#[stable]`. It is
no longer possible to use unstable features with a stable build of
the compiler.
* Many popular crates on [crates.io] now work on the stable release
channel.
* Arithmetic on basic integer types now [checks for overflow in debug
builds][overflow].

Language
--------

* Several [restrictions have been added to trait coherence][coh] in
order to make it easier for upstream authors to change traits
without breaking downsteam code.
* Digits of binary and octal literals are [lexed more eagerly][lex] to
improve error messages and macro behavior. For example, `0b1234` is
now lexed as `0b1234` instead of two tokens, `0b1` and `234`.
* Trait bounds [are always invariant][inv], eleminating the need for
the `PhantomFn` and `MarkerTrait` lang items, which have been
removed.
* ["-" is no longer a valid character in crate names][cr], the `extern crate
"foo" as bar` syntax has been replaced with `extern crate foo as
bar`, and Cargo now automatically translates "-" in *package* names
to underscore for the crate name.
* [Lifetime shadowing is an error][lt].
* [`Send` no longer implies `'static`][send-rfc].
* [UFCS now supports trait-less associated paths][moar-ufcs] like
`MyType::default()`.
* Primitive types [now have inherent methods][prim-inherent],
obviating the need for extension traits like `SliceExt`.
* Methods with `Self: Sized` in their `where` clause are [considered
object-safe][self-sized], allowing many extension traits like
`IteratorExt` to be merged into the traits they extended.
* You can now [refer to associated types][assoc-where] whose
corresponding trait bounds appear only in a `where` clause.
* The final bits of [OIBIT landed][oibit-final], meaning that traits
like `Send` and `Sync` are now library-defined.
* A [Reflect trait][reflect] was introduced, which means that
downcasting via the `Any` trait is effectively limited to concrete
types. This helps retain the potentially-important "parametricity"
property: generic code cannot behave differently for different type
arguments except in minor ways.
* The `unsafe_destructor` feature is now deprecated in favor of the
[new `dropck`][dropck]. This change is a major reduction in unsafe
code.

Libraries
---------

* The `thread_local` module [has been renamed to `std::thread`][th].
* The methods of `IteratorExt` [have been moved to the `Iterator`
trait itself][ie].
* Several traits that implement Rust's conventions for type
conversions, `AsMut`, `AsRef`, `From`, and `Into` have been
[centralized in the `std::convert` module][con].
* The `FromError` trait [was removed in favor of `From`][fe].
* The basic sleep function [has moved to
`std::thread::sleep_ms`][slp].
* The `splitn` function now takes an `n` parameter that represents the
number of items yielded by the returned iterator [instead of the
number of 'splits'][spl].
* [On Unix, all file descriptors are `CLOEXEC` by default][clo].
* [Derived implementations of `PartialOrd` now order enums according
to their explicitly-assigned discriminants][po].
* [Methods for searching strings are generic over `Pattern`s][pat],
implemented presently by `&char`, `&str`, `FnMut(char) -> bool` and
some others.
* [In method resolution, object methods are resolved before inherent
methods][meth].
* [`String::from_str` has been deprecated in favor of the `From` impl,
`String::from`][sf].
* [`io::Error` implements `Sync`][ios].
* [The `words` method on `&str` has been replaced with
`split_whitespace`][sw], to avoid answering the tricky question, 'what is
a word?'
* The new path and IO modules are complete and `#[stable]`. This
was the major library focus for this cycle.
* The path API was [revised][path-normalize] to normalize `.`,
adjusting the tradeoffs in favor of the most common usage.
* A large number of remaining APIs in `std` were also stabilized
during this cycle; about 75% of the non-deprecated API surface
is now stable.
* The new [string pattern API][string-pattern] landed, which makes
the string slice API much more internally consistent and flexible.
* A new set of [generic conversion traits][conversion] replaced
many existing ad hoc traits.
* Generic numeric traits were [completely removed][num-traits]. This
was made possible thanks to inherent methods for primitive types,
and the removal gives maximal flexibility for designing a numeric
hierarchy in the future.
* The `Fn` traits are now related via [inheritance][fn-inherit]
and provide ergonomic [blanket implementations][fn-blanket].
* The `Index` and `IndexMut` traits were changed to
[take the index by value][index-value], enabling code like
`hash_map["string"]` to work.
* `Copy` now [inherits][copy-clone] from `Clone`, meaning that all
`Copy` data is known to be `Clone` as well.

Misc
----

* Many errors now have extended explanations that can be accessed with
the `--explain` flag to `rustc`.
* Many new examples have been added to the standard library
documentation.
* rustdoc has received a number of improvements focused on completion
and polish.
* Metadata was tuned, shrinking binaries [by 27%][metadata-shrink].
* Much headway was made on ecosystem-wide CI, making it possible
to [compare builds for breakage][ci-compare].
