Compatibility Notes

• Raise minimum supported Apple OS versions

• The new impl From<{&,&mut} [T; N]> for Vec<T> is known to cause some inference failures with overly-generic code. In those examples using the tui crate, the combination of AsRef<_> and Into<Vec> leaves the middle type ambiguous, and the new impl adds another possibility, so it now requires an explicit type annotation.

Internal Changes

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

Compatibility Notes

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries

• Loosen From<&[T]> for Box<[T]> bound to T: Clone.
• Remove unnecessary T: Send bound in Error for mpsc::SendError<T> and TrySendError<T>.
• Fix docs for alloc::realloc to match Layout requirements that the size must not exceed isize::MAX.

Rustdoc

• Add a new rustdoc::unescaped_backticks lint for broken inline code.
• Support strikethrough with single tildes. (~~old~~ vs. ~new~)

Misc

Compatibility Notes

• Remove structural match from TypeId. Code that uses a constant TypeId in a pattern will potentially be broken. Known cases have already been fixed -- in particular, users of the log crate's kv_unstable feature should update to log v0.4.18 or later.
• Add a sysroot crate to represent the standard library crates. This does not affect stable users, but may require adjustment in tools that build their own standard library.
• Cargo optimizes its usage under rustup. When Cargo detects it will run rustc pointing to a rustup proxy, it'll try bypassing the proxy and use the underlying binary directly. There are assumptions around the interaction with rustup and RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN. However, it's not expected to affect normal users.
• When querying a package, Cargo tries only the original name, all hyphens, and all underscores to handle misspellings. Previously, Cargo tried each combination of hyphens and underscores, causing excessive requests to crates.io.
• Cargo now disallows RUSTUP_HOME and RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN in the [env] configuration table. This is considered to be not a use case Cargo would like to support, since it will likely cause problems or lead to confusion.

Internal Changes

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

Rust 1.70.0

Language

• Relax ordering rules for asm! operands
• Properly allow macro expanded format_args invocations to uses captures
• Lint ambiguous glob re-exports
• Perform const and unsafe checking for expressions in let _ = expr position.

Compiler

• Extend -Cdebuginfo with new options and named aliases This provides a smaller version of debuginfo for cases that only need line number information (-Cdebuginfo=line-tables-only), which may eventually become the default for -Cdebuginfo=1.

• Detect uninhabited types early in const eval
• Switch to LLD as default linker for {arm,thumb}v4t-none-eabi

Compatibility Notes

• Prevent stable libtest from supporting -Zunstable-options
• Perform const and unsafe checking for expressions in let _ = expr position.
• WebAssembly targets enable sign-ext and mutable-globals features in codegen This may cause incompatibility with older execution environments.
• Insert alignment checks for pointer dereferences as debug assertions This catches undefined behavior at runtime, and may cause existing code to fail.

Internal Changes

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

• Upgrade to LLVM 16
• Use SipHash-1-3 instead of SipHash-2-4 for StableHasher

Rust 1.69.0

Language

• Deriving built-in traits on packed structs works with Copy fields.
• Stabilize the cmpxchg16b target feature on x86 and x86_64.
• Improve analysis of trait bounds for associated types.
• Allow associated types to be used as union fields.
• Allow Self: Autotrait bounds on dyn-safe trait methods.
• Treat str as containing [u8] for auto trait purposes.

Compiler

• Upgrade *-pc-windows-gnu on CI to mingw-w64 v10 and GCC 12.2.
• Rework min_choice algorithm of member constraints.
• Support true and false as boolean flags in compiler arguments.
• Default repr(C) enums to c_int size.

Libraries

• Implement the unstable DispatchFromDyn for cell types, allowing downstream experimentation with custom method receivers.
• Document that fmt::Arguments::as_str() may return Some(_) in more cases after optimization, subject to change.
• Implement AsFd and AsRawFd for Rc.

Stabilized APIs

• CStr::from_bytes_until_nul
• core::ffi::FromBytesUntilNulError

These APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• SocketAddr::new

• SocketAddrV4::port

Cargo

• Cargo now suggests cargo fix or cargo clippy --fix when compilation warnings are auto-fixable.
• Cargo now suggests cargo add if you try to install a library crate.

Rustdoc

• Vertically compact trait bound formatting.
• Only include stable lints in rustdoc::all group.
• Compute maximum Levenshtein distance based on the query.
• Remove inconsistently-present sidebar tooltips.
• Search by macro when query ends with !.

Compatibility Notes

• The rust-analysis component from rustup now only contains a warning placeholder. This was primarily intended for RLS, and the corresponding -Zsave-analysis flag has been removed from the compiler as well.
• Unaligned references to packed fields are now a hard error. This has been a warning since 1.53, and denied by default with a future-compatibility warning since 1.62.
• Update the minimum external LLVM to 14.
• Cargo now emits errors on invalid characters in a registry token.
• When default-features is set to false of a workspace dependency, and an inherited dependency of a member has default-features = true, Cargo will enable default features of that dependency.
• Cargo denies CARGO_HOME in the [env] configuration table. Cargo itself doesn't pick up this value, but recursive calls to cargo would, which was not intended.
• Debuginfo for build dependencies is now off if not explicitly set. This is expected to improve the overall build time.
• The Rust distribution no longer always includes rustdoc If tools = [...] is set in config.toml, we will respect a missing rustdoc in that list. By default rustdoc remains included. To retain the prior behavior explicitly add "rustdoc" to the list.

Internal Changes

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related tools.

• Move format_args!() into AST (and expand it during AST lowering)
