Version 1.12.0 (2016-09-29)
===========================
Highlights
----------
* [`rustc` translates code to LLVM IR via its own "middle" IR (MIR)]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34096).
This translation pass is far simpler than the previous AST->LLVM pass, and
creates opportunities to perform new optimizations directly on the MIR. It
was previously described [on the Rust blog]
(https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
* [`rustc` presents a new, more readable error format, along with
machine-readable JSON error output for use by IDEs]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35401).
Most common editors supporting Rust have been updated to work with it. It was
previously described [on the Rust blog]
(https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/08/10/Shape-of-errors-to-come.html).
Compiler
--------
* [`rustc` translates code to LLVM IR via its own "middle" IR (MIR)]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34096).

creates opportunities to perform new optimizations directly on the MIR. It
was previously described [on the Rust blog]
(https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
* [Print the Rust target name, not the LLVM target name, with
`--print target-list`]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35489)
* [The computation of `TypeId` is correct in some cases where it was previously
producing inconsistent results]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35267)
* [The `mips-unknown-linux-gnu` target uses hardware floating point by default]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34910)
* [The `rustc` arguments, `--print target-cpus`, `--print target-features`,
`--print relocation-models`, and `--print code-models` print the available
options to the `-C target-cpu`, `-C target-feature`, `-C relocation-model` and
`-C code-model` code generation arguments]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34845)
* [`rustc` supports three new MUSL targets on ARM: `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`,
`arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`, and `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf`]
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35060).
These targets produce statically-linked binaries. There are no binary release
builds yet though.
