- Stabilized new const capabilities (e.g., &mut in const, raw lifetimes, references to statics) and added many tier‑3 compilation targets while deprecating the unsound Csoft float flag.
- Extended Cargo with CARGO_MANIFEST_PATH and package.autolib options, and improved Rustdoc sidebar TOC and documentation (ptr::add/sub, missing‑docs lint).
- Fixed several compiler issues: soundness bug in higher‑ranked lifetimes, macOS linking deployment‑target handling, dropped VS2013 support, and updated LLVM minimum version.
