- Stabilized basic procedural macros (custom derive) and added macro‑related enhancements, along with name‑resolution and type‑system refinements.
- Cargo build scripts can no longer access OUT_DIR at compile time via env!("OUT_DIR"); they must read it at runtime, introducing a breaking change.
- Performance and API updates: new hybrid merge sort, faster hash function, iterator improvements, many std lib APIs stabilized, and deprecation of the C no‑stack‑check flag.
