Highlights

We've reached decisions on some longstanding RFCs:

In addition, we've reached some stabilization decisions:

  • FCP PR #28235: Tracking issue for overloaded += operators (RFC 953) (feature augmented_assignments)

    • Stabilize.
  • FCP PR #29720: Tracking issue for braced_empty_structs (RFC 218)

    • Stabilize.

We spent the rest of our time making decisions on various outstanding PRs and issues, as per usual.

Next week, we will decide which language features to consider for stabilization in Rust 1.9. Please take a look at the issue tracker for candidates for stabilization, and leave comments on any that you'd like to nominate.
