+- [`f64::from_bits`]
+- [`f64::to_bits`]
+- [`slice::sort_unstable`]
+- [`slice::sort_unstable_by`]

+Cargo
+-----
+- [Cargo API token location moved from `~/.cargo/config` to
+  `~/cargo/credentials`.][cargo/3978]
+- [Cargo will now build multiple `main.rs` binaries in different

+  `src/client/main.rs` generates `target/debug/server` and `target/debug/client`
+- [You can now specify version of a binary when installed through
+  `cargo install` using `--vers`.][cargo/4229]
+- [Added `--no-fail-fast` flag to cargo to run all benchmarks regardless of
