Version 1.43.0 (2020-04-23)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Fixed using binary operations with `&{number}` (e.g. `&1.0`) not having
the type inferred correctly.][68129]

**Syntax only changes**
- [Allow `type Foo: Ord` syntactically.][69361]
- [Unify item parsing & filter illegal item kinds.][69366]
Comment thread

Outdated
- [Fuse associated and extern items up to defaultness.][69194]
- [Permit attributes on `if` expressions.][69201]

Outdated
- [Syntactically allow `self` in all `fn` contexts.][68764]
- [Merge `fn` syntax + cleanup item parsing.][68728]

These are still rejected *semantically*, so you will likely receive an error but
these changes can be seen and parsed by procedural macros and

conditional compilation.


Compiler
--------
- [You can now pass multiple lint flags to rustc to override the previous
flags.][67885] For example; `rustc -D unused -A unused-variables` denies
everything in the `unused` lint group unused except `unused-variables` which

is explicitly allowed. However, passing `rustc -A unused-variables -D unused` denies
everything in the `unused` lint group **including** `unused-variables` since
the allow flag is specified before the deny flag (and therefore overridden).
- [rustc will now prefer your system MinGW libraries over its bundled libraries
if they are available on `windows-gnu`.][67429]
- [rustc now buffers errors/warnings printed in JSON.][69227]

Libraries
---------
- [`Arc<[T; N]>`, `Box<[T; N]>`, and `Rc<[T; N]>`, now implement
`TryFrom<Arc<[T]>>`,`TryFrom<Box<[T]>>`, and `TryFrom<Rc<[T]>>`
respectively.][69538] These conversions succeed when `N` is `0..=32`.

Outdated
- [All `to_be_bytes`, `to_le_bytes`, `to_ne_bytes`, `from_be_bytes`,
`from_le_bytes`, and `from_ne_bytes` methods for integers are
now `const`.][69373]
Comment thread
XAMPPRocky marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated
- [You can now use associated constants on floats and integers directly, rather
than having to import the module.][68952] e.g. You can now write `u32::MAX` or
`f32::NAN` with no imports.
- [`u8::is_ascii` is now `const`.][68984]
- [`String` now implements `AsMut<str>`.][68742]
- [Added the `primitive` module to `std` and `core`.][67637] This module
reexports Rust's primitive types. This is mainly useful for use in macros

where you want avoid these types being shadowed.
- [Relaxed some of the trait bounds on `HashMap` and `HashSet`.][67642]
- [`string::FromUtf8Error` now implements `Clone + Eq`.][68738]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Once::is_completed`]
- [`f32::LOG10_2`]
- [`f32::LOG2_10`]
- [`f64::LOG10_2`]
- [`f64::LOG2_10`]
- [`iter::once_with`]

Misc
----
- [Certain checks in the `const_err` lint were deemed unrelated to const
evaluation][69185], and have been moved to the `unconditional_panic` and
`arithmetic_overflow` lints.

Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of `rustc` and
related tools.

- [All components are now built with `opt-level=3` instead of `2`.][67878]
- [Improved how rustc generates drop code.][67332]
- [Improved performance from `#[inline]`-ing certain hot functions.][69256]
- [traits: preallocate 2 Vecs of known initial size][69022]
- [Avoid exponential behaviour when relating types][68772]
- [Skip `Drop` terminators for enum variants without drop glue][68943]
- [Improve performance of coherence checks][68966]
- [Deduplicate types in the generator witness][68672]
- [Invert control in struct_lint_level.][68725]
