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).

|
(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/35060).

|
|
This was an [ammendment to RFC 550]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1384),
|
|
and has been a warning since 1.10.
|
|
* [`cfg` attribute process has been refactored to fix various bugs]

Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* [The `abs_sub` method of floats is deprecated]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33664).
|
|
The semantics of this minor method are subtle and probably not what
|
|
most people want.
|
|
* [Add implementation of Ord for Cell<T> and RefCell<T> where T: Ord]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33306).
|
|
* [On Linux, if `HashMap`s can't be initialized with `getrandom` they
|
|
will fall back to `/dev/urandom` temporarily to avoid blocking
|
|
during early boot]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33086).
|
|
* [Implemented negation for wrapping numerals]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33067).
|
|
* [Implement `Clone` for `binary_heap::IntoIter`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33050).
|
|
* [Implement `Display` and `Hash` for `std::num::Wrapping`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33023).
|
|
* [Add `Default` implementation for `&CStr`, `CString`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32990).
|
|
* [Implement `From<Vec<T>>` and `Into<Vec<T>>` for `VecDeque<T>`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32866).
|
|
* [Implement `Default` for `UnsafeCell`, `fmt::Error`, `Condvar`,
|
|
`Mutex`, `RwLock`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32785).
|
|
|
|
Cargo
|
|
-----
|
|
* [Cargo.toml supports the `profile.*.panic` option]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2687).
|
|
This controls the runtime behavior of the `panic!` macro
|
|
and can be either "unwind" (the default), or "abort".
|
|
[RFC 1513](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1513-less-unwinding.md).
|
|
* [Don't throw away errors with `-p` arguments]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2723).
|
|
* [Report status to stderr instead of stdout]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2693).
|
|
* [Build scripts are passed a `CARGO_MANIFEST_LINKS` environment
|
|
variable that corresponds to the `links` field of the manifest]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2710).
|
|
* [Ban keywords from crate names]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2707).
|
|
* [Canonicalize `CARGO_HOME` on Windows]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2604).
|
|
* [Retry network requests]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2396).
|
|
By default they are retried twice, which can be customized with the
|
|
`net.retry` value in `.cargo/config`.
|
|
* [Don't print extra error info for failing subcommands]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2674).
|
|
* [Add `--force` flag to `cargo install`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2405).
|
|
* [Don't use `flock` on NFS mounts]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2623).
|
|
* [Prefer building `cargo install` artifacts in temporary directories]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2610).
|
|
Makes it possible to install multiple crates in parallel.
|
|
* [Add `cargo test --doc`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2578).
|
|
* [Add `cargo --explain`]

|
|
* [Don't print warnings when `-q` is passed]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2576).
|
|
* [Add `cargo doc --lib` and `--bin`]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2577).
|
|
* [Don't require build script output to be UTF-8]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2560).
|
|
* [Correctly attempt multiple git usernames]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2584).
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* [rustc memory usage was reduced by refactoring the context used for
|
|
type checking]

(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33098).
|
|
10x faster than the previous lookup tables.
|
|
* [Special case `#[derive(Copy, Clone)]` to avoid bloat]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/31414).
|
|
|
|
Usability
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Many incremental improvements to documentation and rustdoc.
|
|
* [rustdoc: List blanket trait impls]
|
|

* [Update aarch64-linux-android features to match Android ABI]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33500).
|
|
* [`std` no longer prints backtraces on platforms where the running
|
|
module must be loaded with `env::current_exe`, which can't be relied
|
|
on](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33554).
|
|
* This release includes std binaries for the i586-unknown-linux-gnu,
|
|
i686-unknown-linux-musl, and armv7-linux-androideabi targets. The
|
|
i586 target is for old x86 hardware without SSE2, and the armv7

target is for Android running on modern ARM architectures.
|
|
* [The `rust-gdb` and `rust-lldb` scripts are distributed on all

|
|
Compatibility Notes

-------------------
|
|
|
|
* [`AtomicBool` is now bool-sized, not word-sized]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33579).
|
|
* [`target_env` for Linux ARM targets is just `gnu`, not
|
|
`gnueabihf`, `gnueabi`, etc]
|
|
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33403).

Version 1.9.0 (2016-05-26)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* The `#[deprecated]` attribute when applied to an API will generate
|
|
warnings when used. The warnings may be suppressed with
|
|
`#[allow(deprecated)]`. [RFC 1270].
|
|
* [`fn` item types are zero sized, and each `fn` names a unique
|
|
type][1.9fn]. This will break code that transmutes `fn`s, so calling
|
|
`transmute` on a `fn` type will generate a warning for a few cycles,
|
|
then will be converted to an error.
|
|
* [Field and method resolution understand visibility, so private
|
|
fields and methods cannot prevent the proper use of public fields
|
|
and methods][1.9fv].
|
|
* [The parser considers unicode codepoints in the
|
|
`PATTERN_WHITE_SPACE` category to be whitespace][1.9ws].

Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* [`std::sync::Once` is poisoned if its initialization function
|
|
fails][1.9o].
|
|
* [`cell::Ref` and `cell::RefMut` can contain unsized types][1.9cu].
|
|
* [Most types implement `fmt::Debug`][1.9db].
|
|
* [The default buffer size used by `BufReader` and `BufWriter` was
|
|
reduced to 8K, from 64K][1.9bf]. This is in line with the buffer size
|
|
used by other languages.
|
|
* [`Instant`, `SystemTime` and `Duration` implement `+=` and `-=`.
|
|
`Duration` additionally implements `*=` and `/=`][1.9ta].
|
|
* [`Skip` is a `DoubleEndedIterator`][1.9sk].
|
|
* [`From<[u8; 4]>` is implemented for `Ipv4Addr`][1.9fi].
|
|
* [`Chain` implements `BufRead`][1.9ch].
|
|
* [`HashMap`, `HashSet` and iterators are covariant][1.9hc].
|
|
|
|
Cargo
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* [Cargo can now run concurrently][1.9cc].
|
|
* [Top-level overrides allow specific revisions of crates to be
|
|
overridden through the entire crate graph][1.9ct]. This is intended
|
|
to make upgrades easier for large projects, by allowing crates to be
|
|
forked temporarily until they've been upgraded and republished.
|
|
* [Cargo exports a `CARGO_PKG_AUTHORS` environment variable][1.9cp].
|
|
* [Cargo will pass the contents of the `RUSTFLAGS` variable to `rustc`
|
|
on the commandline][1.9cf]. `rustc` arguments can also be specified
|
|
in the `build.rustflags` configuration key.
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* [The time complexity of comparing variables for equivalence during type
|
|
unification is reduced from _O_(_n_!) to _O_(_n_)][1.9tu]. This leads
|
|
to major compilation time improvement in some scenarios.
|
|
* [`ToString` is specialized for `str`, giving it the same performance
|
|
as `to_owned`][1.9ts].
|
|
* [Spawning processes with `Command::output` no longer creates extra
|
|
threads][1.9sp].
|
|
* [`#[derive(PartialEq)]` and `#[derive(PartialOrd)]` emit less code
|
|
for C-like enums][1.9cl].
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* [Passing the `--quiet` flag to a test runner will produce
|
|
much-abbreviated output][1.9q].
|
|
* The Rust Project now publishes std binaries for the
|
|
`mips-unknown-linux-musl`, `mipsel-unknown-linux-musl`, and
|
|
`i586-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility Notes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* [`std::sync::Once` is poisoned if its initialization function
|
|
fails][1.9o].
|
|
* [It is illegal to define methods with the same name in overlapping
|
|
inherent `impl` blocks][1.9sn].
|
|
* [`fn` item types are zero sized, and each `fn` names a unique
|
|
type][1.9fn]. This will break code that transmutes `fn`s, so calling
|
|
`transmute` on a `fn` type will generate a warning for a few cycles,
|
|
then will be converted to an error.
|
|
* [Improvements to const evaluation may trigger new errors when integer
|
|
literals are out of range][1.9ce].

Version 1.8.0 (2016-04-14)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Rust supports overloading of compound assignment statements like
|
|
`+=` by implementing the [`AddAssign`], [`SubAssign`],
|
|
[`MulAssign`], [`DivAssign`], [`RemAssign`], [`BitAndAssign`],
|
|
[`BitOrAssign`], [`BitXorAssign`], [`ShlAssign`], or [`ShrAssign`]
|
|
traits. [RFC 953].
|
|
* Empty structs can be defined with braces, as in `struct Foo { }`, in
|
|
addition to the non-braced form, `struct Foo;`. [RFC 218].
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Stabilized APIs:
|
|
* [`str::encode_utf16`][] (renamed from `utf16_units`)
|
|
* [`str::EncodeUtf16`][] (renamed from `Utf16Units`)
|
|
* [`Ref::map`]
|
|
* [`RefMut::map`]
|
|
* [`ptr::drop_in_place`]
|
|
* [`time::Instant`]
|
|
* [`time::SystemTime`]
|
|
* [`Instant::now`]
|
|
* [`Instant::duration_since`][] (renamed from `duration_from_earlier`)
|
|
* [`Instant::elapsed`]
|
|
* [`SystemTime::now`]
|
|
* [`SystemTime::duration_since`][] (renamed from `duration_from_earlier`)
|
|
* [`SystemTime::elapsed`]
|
|
* Various `Add`/`Sub` impls for `Time` and `SystemTime`
|
|
* [`SystemTimeError`]
|
|
* [`SystemTimeError::duration`]
|
|
* Various impls for `SystemTimeError`
|
|
* [`UNIX_EPOCH`]
|
|
* [`AddAssign`], [`SubAssign`], [`MulAssign`], [`DivAssign`],
|
|
[`RemAssign`], [`BitAndAssign`], [`BitOrAssign`],
|
|
[`BitXorAssign`], [`ShlAssign`], [`ShrAssign`].
|
|
* [The `write!` and `writeln!` macros correctly emit errors if any of
|
|
their arguments can't be formatted][1.8w].
|
|
* [Various I/O functions support large files on 32-bit Linux][1.8l].
|
|
* [The Unix-specific `raw` modules, which contain a number of
|
|
redefined C types are deprecated][1.8r], including `os::raw::unix`,
|
|
`os::raw::macos`, and `os::raw::linux`. These modules defined types
|
|
such as `ino_t` and `dev_t`. The inconsistency of these definitions
|
|
across platforms was making it difficult to implement `std`
|
|
correctly. Those that need these definitions should use the `libc`
|
|
crate. [RFC 1415].
|
|
* The Unix-specific `MetadataExt` traits, including
|
|
`os::unix::fs::MetadataExt`, which expose values such as inode
|
|
numbers [no longer return platform-specific types][1.8r], but
|
|
instead return widened integers. [RFC 1415].
|
|
* [`btree_set::{IntoIter, Iter, Range}` are covariant][1.8cv].
|
|
* [Atomic loads and stores are not volatile][1.8a].
|
|
* [All types in `sync::mpsc` implement `fmt::Debug`][1.8mp].
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* [Inlining hash functions lead to a 3% compile-time improvement in
|
|
some workloads][1.8h].
|
|
* When using jemalloc, its symbols are [unprefixed so that it
|
|
overrides the libc malloc implementation][1.8h]. This means that for
|
|
rustc, LLVM is now using jemalloc, which results in a 6%
|
|
compile-time improvement on a specific workload.
|
|
* [Avoid quadratic growth in function size due to cleanups][1.8cu].
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* [32-bit MSVC builds finally implement unwinding][1.8ms].
|
|
i686-pc-windows-msvc is now considered a tier-1 platform.
|
|
* [The `--print targets` flag prints a list of supported targets][1.8t].
|
|
* [The `--print cfg` flag prints the `cfg`s defined for the current
|
|
target][1.8cf].
|
|
* [`rustc` can be built with an new Cargo-based build system, written
|
|
in Rust][1.8b]. It will eventually replace Rust's Makefile-based
|
|
build system. To enable it configure with `configure --rustbuild`.
|
|
* [Errors for non-exhaustive `match` patterns now list up to 3 missing
|
|
variants while also indicating the total number of missing variants
|
|
if more than 3][1.8m].
|
|
* [Executable stacks are disabled on Linux and BSD][1.8nx].
|
|
* The Rust Project now publishes binary releases of the standard
|
|
library for a number of tier-2 targets:
|
|
`armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf`, `powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu`,
|
|
`powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu`, `powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu`
|
|
`x86_64-rumprun-netbsd`. These can be installed with
|
|
tools such as [multirust][1.8mr].
|
|
|
|
Cargo
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* [`cargo init` creates a new Cargo project in the current
|
|
directory][1.8ci]. It is otherwise like `cargo new`.
|
|
* [Cargo has configuration keys for `-v` and
|
|
`--color`][1.8cc]. `verbose` and `color`, respectively, go in the
|
|
`[term]` section of `.cargo/config`.
|
|
* [Configuration keys that evaluate to strings or integers can be set
|
|
via environment variables][1.8ce]. For example the `build.jobs` key
|
|
can be set via `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS`. Environment variables take
|
|
precedence over config files.
|
|
* [Target-specific dependencies support Rust `cfg` syntax for
|
|
describing targets][1.8cfg] so that dependencies for multiple
|
|
targets can be specified together. [RFC 1361].
|
|
* [The environment variables `CARGO_TARGET_ROOT`, `RUSTC`, and
|
|
`RUSTDOC` take precedence over the `build.target-dir`,
|
|
`build.rustc`, and `build.rustdoc` configuration values][1.8cv].
|
|
* [The child process tree is killed on Windows when Cargo is
|
|
killed][1.8ck].
|
|
* [The `build.target` configuration value sets the target platform,
|
|
like `--target`][1.8ct].
|
|
|
|
Compatibility Notes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* [Unstable compiler flags have been further restricted][1.8u]. Since
|
|
1.0 `-Z` flags have been considered unstable, and other flags that
|
|
were considered unstable additionally required passing `-Z
|
|
unstable-options` to access. Unlike unstable language and library
|
|
features though, these options have been accessible on the stable
|
|
release channel. Going forward, *new unstable flags will not be
|
|
available on the stable release channel*, and old unstable flags
|
|
will warn about their usage. In the future, all unstable flags will
|
|
be unavailable on the stable release channel.
|
|
* [It is no longer possible to `match` on empty enum variants using
|
|
the `Variant(..)` syntax][1.8v]. This has been a warning since 1.6.
|
|
* The Unix-specific `MetadataExt` traits, including
|
|
`os::unix::fs::MetadataExt`, which expose values such as inode
|
|
numbers [no longer return platform-specific types][1.8r], but
|
|
instead return widened integers. [RFC 1415].
|
|
* [Modules sourced from the filesystem cannot appear within arbitrary
|
|
blocks, but only within other modules][1.8mf].
|
|
* [`--cfg` compiler flags are parsed strictly as identifiers][1.8c].
|
|
* On Unix, [stack overflow triggers a runtime abort instead of a
|
|
SIGSEGV][1.8so].
|
|
* [`Command::spawn` and its equivalents return an error if any of
|
|
its command-line arguments contain interior `NUL`s][1.8n].
|
|
* [Tuple and unit enum variants from other crates are in the type
|
|
namespace][1.8tn].
|
|
* [On Windows `rustc` emits `.lib` files for the `staticlib` library
|
|
type instead of `.a` files][1.8st]. Additionally, for the MSVC
|
|
toolchain, `rustc` emits import libraries named `foo.dll.lib`
|
|
instead of `foo.lib`.

|
|

|
* [`HashSet::with_capacity_and_hasher`]

|
|
* [`RandomState::new`]
|
|
* [Validating UTF-8 is faster by a factor of between 7 and 14x for
|
|
ASCII input][1.7utf8]. This means that creating `String`s and `str`s
|
|
from bytes is faster.
|
|
* [The performance of `LineWriter` (and thus `io::stdout`) was
|
|
improved by using `memchr` to search for newlines][1.7m].
|
|
* [`f32::to_degrees` and `f32::to_radians` are stable][1.7f]. The
|
|
`f64` variants were stabilized previously.
|
|
* [`BTreeMap` was rewritten to use less memory and improve the performance
|
|
of insertion and iteration, the latter by as much as 5x][1.7bm].
|
|
* [`BTreeSet` and its iterators, `Iter`, `IntoIter`, and `Range` are
|
|
covariant over their contained type][1.7bt].
|
|
* [`LinkedList` and its iterators, `Iter` and `IntoIter` are covariant
|
|
over their contained type][1.7ll].
|
|
* [`str::replace` now accepts a `Pattern`][1.7rp], like other string
|
|
searching methods.
|
|
* [`Any` is implemented for unsized types][1.7a].
|
|
* [`Hash` is implemented for `Duration`][1.7h].
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* [When running tests with `--test`, rustdoc will pass `--cfg`
|
|
arguments to the compiler][1.7dt].
|
|
* [The compiler is built with RPATH information by default][1.7rpa].
|
|
This means that it will be possible to run `rustc` when installed in
|
|
unusual configurations without configuring the dynamic linker search
|
|
path explicitly.
|
|
* [`rustc` passes `--enable-new-dtags` to GNU ld][1.7dta]. This makes
|
|
any RPATH entries (emitted with `-C rpath`) *not* take precedence
|
|
over `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
|
|
|
|
Cargo
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* [`cargo rustc` accepts a `--profile` flag that runs `rustc` under
|
|
any of the compilation profiles, 'dev', 'bench', or 'test'][1.7cp].
|
|
* [The `rerun-if-changed` build script directive no longer causes the
|
|
build script to incorrectly run twice in certain scenarios][1.7rr].
|
|
|
|
Compatibility Notes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* Soundness fixes to the interactions between associated types and
|
|
lifetimes, specified in [RFC 1214], [now generate errors][1.7sf] for
|
|
code that violates the new rules. This is a significant change that
|
|
is known to break existing code, so it has emitted warnings for the
|
|
new error cases since 1.4 to give crate authors time to adapt. The
|
|
details of what is changing are subtle; read the RFC for more.
|
|
* [Several bugs in the compiler's visibility calculations were
|
|
fixed][1.7v]. Since this was found to break significant amounts of
|
|
code, the new errors will be emitted as warnings for several release
|
|
cycles, under the `private_in_public` lint.
|
|
* Defaulted type parameters were accidentally accepted in positions
|
|
that were not intended. In this release, [defaulted type parameters
|
|
appearing outside of type definitions will generate a
|
|
warning][1.7d], which will become an error in future releases.
|
|
* [Parsing "." as a float results in an error instead of 0][1.7p].
|
|
That is, `".".parse::<f32>()` returns `Err`, not `Ok(0.0)`.
|
|
* [Borrows of closure parameters may not outlive the closure][1.7bc].

Version 1.6.0 (2016-01-21)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* The `#![no_std]` attribute causes a crate to not be linked to the
|
|
standard library, but only the [core library][1.6co], as described
|
|
in [RFC 1184]. The core library defines common types and traits but
|
|
has no platform dependencies whatsoever, and is the basis for Rust
|
|
software in environments that cannot support a full port of the
|
|
standard library, such as operating systems. Most of the core
|
|
library is now stable.
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Stabilized APIs:
|
|
[`Read::read_exact`],
|
|
[`ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof`][] (renamed from `UnexpectedEOF`),
|
|
[`fs::DirBuilder`], [`fs::DirBuilder::new`],
|
|
[`fs::DirBuilder::recursive`], [`fs::DirBuilder::create`],
|
|
[`os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt`],
|
|
[`os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt::mode`], [`vec::Drain`],
|
|
[`vec::Vec::drain`], [`string::Drain`], [`string::String::drain`],
|
|
[`vec_deque::Drain`], [`vec_deque::VecDeque::drain`],
|
|
[`collections::hash_map::Drain`],
|
|
[`collections::hash_map::HashMap::drain`],
|
|
[`collections::hash_set::Drain`],
|
|
[`collections::hash_set::HashSet::drain`],
|
|
[`collections::binary_heap::Drain`],
|
|
[`collections::binary_heap::BinaryHeap::drain`],
|
|
[`Vec::extend_from_slice`][] (renamed from `push_all`),
|
|
[`Mutex::get_mut`], [`Mutex::into_inner`], [`RwLock::get_mut`],
|
|
[`RwLock::into_inner`],
|
|
[`Iterator::min_by_key`][] (renamed from `min_by`),
|
|
[`Iterator::max_by_key`][] (renamed from `max_by`).
|
|
* The [core library][1.6co] is stable, as are most of its APIs.
|
|
* [The `assert_eq!` macro supports arguments that don't implement
|
|
`Sized`][1.6ae], such as arrays. In this way it behaves more like
|
|
`assert!`.
|
|
* Several timer functions that take duration in milliseconds [are
|
|
deprecated in favor of those that take `Duration`][1.6ms]. These
|
|
include `Condvar::wait_timeout_ms`, `thread::sleep_ms`, and
|
|
`thread::park_timeout_ms`.
|
|
* The algorithm by which `Vec` reserves additional elements was
|
|
[tweaked to not allocate excessive space][1.6a] while still growing
|
|
exponentially.
|
|
* `From` conversions are [implemented from integers to floats][1.6f]
|
|
in cases where the conversion is lossless. Thus they are not
|
|
implemented for 32-bit ints to `f32`, nor for 64-bit ints to `f32`
|
|
or `f64`. They are also not implemented for `isize` and `usize`
|
|
because the implementations would be platform-specific. `From` is
|
|
also implemented from `f32` to `f64`.
|
|
* `From<&Path>` and `From<PathBuf>` are implemented for `Cow<Path>`.
|
|
* `From<T>` is implemented for `Box<T>`, `Rc<T>` and `Arc<T>`.
|
|
* `IntoIterator` is implemented for `&PathBuf` and `&Path`.
|
|
* [`BinaryHeap` was refactored][1.6bh] for modest performance
|
|
improvements.
|
|
* Sorting slices that are already sorted [is 50% faster in some
|
|
cases][1.6s].
|
|
|
|
Cargo
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* Cargo will look in `$CARGO_HOME/bin` for subcommands [by default][1.6c].
|
|
* Cargo build scripts can specify their dependencies by emitting the
|
|
[`rerun-if-changed`][1.6rr] key.
|
|
* crates.io will reject publication of crates with dependencies that
|
|
have a wildcard version constraint. Crates with wildcard
|
|
dependencies were seen to cause a variety of problems, as described
|
|
in [RFC 1241]. Since 1.5 publication of such crates has emitted a
|
|
warning.
|
|
* `cargo clean` [accepts a `--release` flag][1.6cc] to clean the
|
|
release folder. A variety of artifacts that Cargo failed to clean
|
|
are now correctly deleted.
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* The `unreachable_code` lint [warns when a function call's argument
|
|
diverges][1.6dv].
|
|
* The parser indicates [failures that may be caused by
|
|
confusingly-similar Unicode characters][1.6uc]
|
|
* Certain macro errors [are reported at definition time][1.6m], not
|
|
expansion.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility Notes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* The compiler no longer makes use of the [`RUST_PATH`][1.6rp]
|
|
environment variable when locating crates. This was a pre-cargo
|
|
feature for integrating with the package manager that was
|
|
accidentally never removed.
|
|
* [A number of bugs were fixed in the privacy checker][1.6p] that
|
|
could cause previously-accepted code to break.
|
|
* [Modules and unit/tuple structs may not share the same name][1.6ts].
|
|
* [Bugs in pattern matching unit structs were fixed][1.6us]. The tuple
|
|
struct pattern syntax (`Foo(..)`) can no longer be used to match
|
|
unit structs. This is a warning now, but will become an error in
|
|
future releases. Patterns that share the same name as a const are
|
|
now an error.
|
|
* A bug was fixed that causes [rustc not to apply default type
|
|
parameters][1.6xc] when resolving certain method implementations of
|
|
traits defined in other crates.

Version 1.5.0 (2015-12-10)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
* ~700 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Highlights
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Stabilized APIs:
|
|
[`BinaryHeap::from`], [`BinaryHeap::into_sorted_vec`],
|
|
[`BinaryHeap::into_vec`], [`Condvar::wait_timeout`],
|
|
[`FileTypeExt::is_block_device`], [`FileTypeExt::is_char_device`],
|
|
[`FileTypeExt::is_fifo`], [`FileTypeExt::is_socket`],
|
|
[`FileTypeExt`], [`Formatter::alternate`], [`Formatter::fill`],
|
|
[`Formatter::precision`], [`Formatter::sign_aware_zero_pad`],
|
|
[`Formatter::sign_minus`], [`Formatter::sign_plus`],
|
|
[`Formatter::width`], [`Iterator::cmp`], [`Iterator::eq`],
|
|
[`Iterator::ge`], [`Iterator::gt`], [`Iterator::le`],
|
|
[`Iterator::lt`], [`Iterator::ne`], [`Iterator::partial_cmp`],
|
|
[`Path::canonicalize`], [`Path::exists`], [`Path::is_dir`],
|
|
[`Path::is_file`], [`Path::metadata`], [`Path::read_dir`],
|
|
[`Path::read_link`], [`Path::symlink_metadata`],
|
|
[`Utf8Error::valid_up_to`], [`Vec::resize`],
|
|
[`VecDeque::as_mut_slices`], [`VecDeque::as_slices`],
|
|
[`VecDeque::insert`], [`VecDeque::shrink_to_fit`],
|
|
[`VecDeque::swap_remove_back`], [`VecDeque::swap_remove_front`],
|
|
[`slice::split_first_mut`], [`slice::split_first`],
|
|
[`slice::split_last_mut`], [`slice::split_last`],
|
|
[`char::from_u32_unchecked`], [`fs::canonicalize`],
|
|
[`str::MatchIndices`], [`str::RMatchIndices`],
|
|
[`str::match_indices`], [`str::rmatch_indices`],
|
|
[`str::slice_mut_unchecked`], [`string::ParseError`].
|
|
* Rust applications hosted on crates.io can be installed locally to
|
|
`~/.cargo/bin` with the [`cargo install`] command. Among other
|
|
things this makes it easier to augment Cargo with new subcommands:
|
|
when a binary named e.g. `cargo-foo` is found in `$PATH` it can be
|
|
invoked as `cargo foo`.
|
|
* Crates with wildcard (`*`) dependencies will [emit warnings when
|
|
published][1.5w]. In 1.6 it will no longer be possible to publish
|
|
crates with wildcard dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Breaking Changes
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* The rules determining when a particular lifetime must outlive
|
|
a particular value (known as '[dropck]') have been [modified
|
|
to not rely on parametricity][1.5p].
|
|
* [Implementations of `AsRef` and `AsMut` were added to `Box`, `Rc`,
|
|
and `Arc`][1.5a]. Because these smart pointer types implement
|
|
`Deref`, this causes breakage in cases where the interior type
|
|
contains methods of the same name.
|
|
* [Correct a bug in Rc/Arc][1.5c] that caused [dropck] to be unaware
|
|
that they could drop their content. Soundness fix.
|
|
* All method invocations are [properly checked][1.5wf1] for
|
|
[well-formedness][1.5wf2]. Soundness fix.
|
|
* Traits whose supertraits contain `Self` are [not object
|
|
safe][1.5o]. Soundness fix.
|
|
* Target specifications support a [`no_default_libraries`][1.5nd]
|
|
setting that controls whether `-nodefaultlibs` is passed to the
|
|
linker, and in turn the `is_like_windows` setting no longer affects
|
|
the `-nodefaultlibs` flag.
|
|
* `#[derive(Show)]`, long-deprecated, [has been removed][1.5ds].
|
|
* The `#[inline]` and `#[repr]` attributes [can only appear
|
|
in valid locations][1.5at].
|
|
* Native libraries linked from the local crate are [passed to
|
|
the linker before native libraries from upstream crates][1.5nl].
|
|
* Two rarely-used attributes, `#[no_debug]` and
|
|
`#[omit_gdb_pretty_printer_section]` [are feature gated][1.5fg].
|
|
* Negation of unsigned integers, which has been a warning for
|
|
several releases, [is now behind a feature gate and will
|
|
generate errors][1.5nu].
|
|
* The parser accidentally accepted visibility modifiers on
|
|
enum variants, a bug [which has been fixed][1.5ev].
|
|
* [A bug was fixed that allowed `use` statements to import unstable
|
|
features][1.5use].
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* When evaluating expressions at compile-time that are not
|
|
compile-time constants (const-evaluating expressions in non-const
|
|
contexts), incorrect code such as overlong bitshifts and arithmetic
|
|
overflow will [generate a warning instead of an error][1.5ce],
|
|
delaying the error until runtime. This will allow the
|
|
const-evaluator to be expanded in the future backwards-compatibly.
|
|
* The `improper_ctypes` lint [no longer warns about using `isize` and
|
|
`usize` in FFI][1.5ict].
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* `Arc<T>` and `Rc<T>` are [covariant with respect to `T` instead of
|
|
invariant][1.5c].
|
|
* `Default` is [implemented for mutable slices][1.5d].
|
|
* `FromStr` is [implemented for `SockAddrV4` and `SockAddrV6`][1.5s].
|
|
* There are now `From` conversions [between floating point
|
|
types][1.5f] where the conversions are lossless.
|
|
* Thera are now `From` conversions [between integer types][1.5i] where
|
|
the conversions are lossless.
|
|
* [`fs::Metadata` implements `Clone`][1.5fs].
|
|
* The `parse` method [accepts a leading "+" when parsing
|
|
integers][1.5pi].
|
|
* [`AsMut` is implemented for `Vec`][1.5am].
|
|
* The `clone_from` implementations for `String` and `BinaryHeap` [have
|
|
been optimized][1.5cf] and no longer rely on the default impl.
|
|
* The `extern "Rust"`, `extern "C"`, `unsafe extern "Rust"` and
|
|
`unsafe extern "C"` function types now [implement `Clone`,
|
|
`PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Hash`, `fmt::Pointer`, and
|
|
`fmt::Debug` for up to 12 arguments][1.5fp].
|
|
* [Dropping `Vec`s is much faster in unoptimized builds when the
|
|
element types don't implement `Drop`][1.5dv].
|
|
* A bug that caused in incorrect behavior when [combining `VecDeque`
|
|
with zero-sized types][1.5vdz] was resolved.
|
|
* [`PartialOrd` for slices is faster][1.5po].
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* [Crate metadata size was reduced by 20%][1.5md].
|
|
* [Improvements to code generation reduced the size of libcore by 3.3
|
|
MB and rustc's memory usage by 18MB][1.5m].
|
|
* [Improvements to deref translation increased performance in
|
|
unoptimized builds][1.5dr].
|
|
* Various errors in trait resolution [are deduplicated to only be
|
|
reported once][1.5te].
|
|
* Rust has preliminary [support for rumprun kernels][1.5rr].
|
|
* Rust has preliminary [support for NetBSD on amd64][1.5na].

Version 1.4.0 (2015-10-29)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
* ~1200 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Highlights
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Windows builds targeting the 64-bit MSVC ABI and linker (instead of
|
|
GNU) are now supported and recommended for use.
|
|
|
|
Breaking Changes
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* [Several changes have been made to fix type soundness and improve
|
|
the behavior of associated types][sound]. See [RFC 1214]. Although
|
|
we have mostly introduced these changes as warnings this release, to
|
|
become errors next release, there are still some scenarios that will
|
|
see immediate breakage.
|
|
* [The `str::lines` and `BufRead::lines` iterators treat `\r\n` as
|
|
line breaks in addition to `\n`][crlf].
|
|
* [Loans of `'static` lifetime extend to the end of a function][stat].
|
|
* [`str::parse` no longer introduces avoidable rounding error when
|
|
parsing floating point numbers. Together with earlier changes to
|
|
float formatting/output, "round trips" like f.to_string().parse()
|
|
now preserve the value of f exactly. Additionally, leading plus
|
|
signs are now accepted][fp3].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* `use` statements that import multiple items [can now rename
|
|
them][i], as in `use foo::{bar as kitten, baz as puppy}`.
|
|
* [Binops work correctly on fat pointers][binfat].
|
|
* `pub extern crate`, which does not behave as expected, [issues a
|
|
warning][pec] until a better solution is found.
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* [Many APIs were stabilized][stab]: `<Box<str>>::into_string`,
|
|
[`Arc::downgrade`], [`Arc::get_mut`], [`Arc::make_mut`],
|
|
[`Arc::try_unwrap`], [`Box::from_raw`], [`Box::into_raw`], [`CStr::to_str`],
|
|
[`CStr::to_string_lossy`], [`CString::from_raw`], [`CString::into_raw`],
|
|
[`IntoRawFd::into_raw_fd`], [`IntoRawFd`],
|
|
`IntoRawHandle::into_raw_handle`, `IntoRawHandle`,
|
|
`IntoRawSocket::into_raw_socket`, `IntoRawSocket`, [`Rc::downgrade`],
|
|
[`Rc::get_mut`], [`Rc::make_mut`], [`Rc::try_unwrap`], [`Result::expect`],
|
|
[`String::into_boxed_str`], [`TcpStream::read_timeout`],
|
|
[`TcpStream::set_read_timeout`], [`TcpStream::set_write_timeout`],
|
|
[`TcpStream::write_timeout`], [`UdpSocket::read_timeout`],
|
|
[`UdpSocket::set_read_timeout`], [`UdpSocket::set_write_timeout`],
|
|
[`UdpSocket::write_timeout`], `Vec::append`, `Vec::split_off`,
|
|
[`VecDeque::append`], [`VecDeque::retain`], [`VecDeque::split_off`],
|
|
[`rc::Weak::upgrade`], [`rc::Weak`], [`slice::Iter::as_slice`],
|
|
[`slice::IterMut::into_slice`], [`str::CharIndices::as_str`],
|
|
[`str::Chars::as_str`], [`str::split_at_mut`], [`str::split_at`],
|
|
[`sync::Weak::upgrade`], [`sync::Weak`], [`thread::park_timeout`],
|
|
[`thread::sleep`].
|
|
* [Some APIs were deprecated][dep]: `BTreeMap::with_b`,
|
|
`BTreeSet::with_b`, `Option::as_mut_slice`, `Option::as_slice`,
|
|
`Result::as_mut_slice`, `Result::as_slice`, `f32::from_str_radix`,
|
|
`f64::from_str_radix`.
|
|
* [Reverse-searching strings is faster with the 'two-way'
|
|
algorithm][s].
|
|
* [`std::io::copy` allows `?Sized` arguments][cc].
|
|
* The `Windows`, `Chunks`, and `ChunksMut` iterators over slices all
|
|
[override `count`, `nth` and `last` with an O(1)
|
|
implementation][it].
|
|
* [`Default` is implemented for arrays up to `[T; 32]`][d].
|
|
* [`IntoRawFd` has been added to the Unix-specific prelude,
|
|
`IntoRawSocket` and `IntoRawHandle` to the Windows-specific
|
|
prelude][pr].
|
|
* [`Extend<String>` and `FromIterator<String` are both implemented for
|
|
`String`][es].
|
|
* [`IntoIterator` is implemented for references to `Option` and
|
|
`Result`][into2].
|
|
* [`HashMap` and `HashSet` implement `Extend<&T>` where `T:
|
|
Copy`][ext] as part of [RFC 839]. This will cause type inferance
|
|
breakage in rare situations.
|
|
* [`BinaryHeap` implements `Debug`][bh2].
|
|
* [`Borrow` and `BorrowMut` are implemented for fixed-size
|
|
arrays][bm].
|
|
* [`extern fn`s with the "Rust" and "C" ABIs implement common
|
|
traits including `Eq`, `Ord`, `Debug`, `Hash`][fp].
|
|
* [String comparison is faster][faststr].
|
|
* `&mut T` where `T: std::fmt::Write` [also implements
|
|
`std::fmt::Write`][mutw].
|
|
* [A stable regression in `VecDeque::push_back` and other
|
|
capicity-altering methods that caused panics for zero-sized types
|
|
was fixed][vd].
|
|
* [Function pointers implement traits for up to 12 parameters][fp2].
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* The compiler [no longer uses the 'morestack' feature to prevent
|
|
stack overflow][mm]. Instead it uses guard pages and stack
|
|
probes (though stack probes are not yet implemented on any platform
|
|
but Windows).
|
|
* [The compiler matches traits faster when projections are involved][p].
|
|
* The 'improper_ctypes' lint [no longer warns about use of `isize` and
|
|
`usize`][ffi].
|
|
* [Cargo now displays useful information about what its doing during
|
|
`cargo update`][cu].

Version 1.3.0 (2015-09-17)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
* ~900 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Highlights
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* The [new object lifetime defaults][nold] have been [turned
|
|
on][nold2] after a cycle of warnings about the change. Now types
|
|
like `&'a Box<Trait>` (or `&'a Rc<Trait>`, etc) will change from
|
|
being interpreted as `&'a Box<Trait+'a>` to `&'a
|
|
Box<Trait+'static>`.
|
|
* [The Rustonomicon][nom] is a new book in the official documentation
|
|
that dives into writing unsafe Rust.
|
|
* The [`Duration`] API, [has been stabilized][ds]. This basic unit of
|
|
timekeeping is employed by other std APIs, as well as out-of-tree
|
|
time crates.
|
|
|
|
Breaking Changes
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* The [new object lifetime defaults][nold] have been [turned
|
|
on][nold2] after a cycle of warnings about the change.
|
|
* There is a known [regression][lr] in how object lifetime elision is
|
|
interpreted, the proper solution for which is undetermined.
|
|
* The `#[prelude_import]` attribute, an internal implementation
|
|
detail, was accidentally stabilized previously. [It has been put
|
|
behind the `prelude_import` feature gate][pi]. This change is
|
|
believed to break no existing code.
|
|
* The behavior of [`size_of_val`][dst1] and [`align_of_val`][dst2] is
|
|
[more sane for dynamically sized types][dst3]. Code that relied on
|
|
the previous behavior is thought to be broken.
|
|
* The `dropck` rules, which checks that destructors can't access
|
|
destroyed values, [have been updated][dropck] to match the
|
|
[RFC][dropckrfc]. This fixes some soundness holes, and as such will
|
|
cause some previously-compiling code to no longer build.
|
|
|

Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* The [new object lifetime defaults][nold] have been [turned
|
|
on][nold2] after a cycle of warnings about the change.
|
|
* Semicolons may [now follow types and paths in
|
|
macros](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/27000).
|
|
* The behavior of [`size_of_val`][dst1] and [`align_of_val`][dst2] is
|
|
[more sane for dynamically sized types][dst3]. Code that relied on
|
|
the previous behavior is not known to exist, and suspected to be
|
|
broken.
|
|
* `'static` variables [may now be recursive][st].
|
|
* `ref` bindings choose between [`Deref`] and [`DerefMut`]
|
|
implementations correctly.
|
|
* The `dropck` rules, which checks that destructors can't access
|
|
destroyed values, [have been updated][dropck] to match the
|
|
[RFC][dropckrfc].
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* The [`Duration`] API, [has been stabilized][ds], as well as the
|
|
`std::time` module, which presently contains only `Duration`.
|
|
* `Box<str>` and `Box<[T]>` both implement `Clone`.
|
|
* The owned C string, [`CString`], implements [`Borrow`] and the
|
|
borrowed C string, [`CStr`], implements [`ToOwned`]. The two of
|
|
these allow C strings to be borrowed and cloned in generic code.
|
|
* [`CStr`] implements [`Debug`].
|
|
* [`AtomicPtr`] implements [`Debug`].
|
|
* [`Error`] trait objects [can be downcast to their concrete types][e]
|
|
in many common configurations, using the [`is`], [`downcast`],
|
|
[`downcast_ref`] and [`downcast_mut`] methods, similarly to the
|
|
[`Any`] trait.
|
|
* Searching for substrings now [employs the two-way algorithm][search]
|
|
instead of doing a naive search. This gives major speedups to a
|
|
number of methods, including [`contains`][sc], [`find`][sf],
|
|
[`rfind`][srf], [`split`][ss]. [`starts_with`][ssw] and
|
|
[`ends_with`][sew] are also faster.
|
|
* The performance of `PartialEq` for slices is [much faster][ps].
|
|
* The [`Hash`] trait offers the default method, [`hash_slice`], which
|
|
is overridden and optimized by the implementations for scalars.
|
|
* The [`Hasher`] trait now has a number of specialized `write_*`
|
|
methods for primitive types, for efficiency.
|
|
* The I/O-specific error type, [`std::io::Error`][ie], gained a set of
|
|
methods for accessing the 'inner error', if any: [`get_ref`][iegr],
|
|
[`get_mut`][iegm], [`into_inner`][ieii]. As well, the implementation
|
|
of [`std::error::Error::cause`][iec] also delegates to the inner
|
|
error.
|
|
* [`process::Child`][pc] gained the [`id`] method, which returns a
|
|
`u32` representing the platform-specific process identifier.
|
|
* The [`connect`] method on slices is deprecated, replaced by the new
|
|
[`join`] method (note that both of these are on the *unstable*
|
|
[`SliceConcatExt`] trait, but through the magic of the prelude are
|
|
available to stable code anyway).
|
|
* The [`Div`] operator is implemented for [`Wrapping`] types.
|
|
* [`DerefMut` is implemented for `String`][dms].
|
|
* Performance of SipHash (the default hasher for `HashMap`) is
|
|
[better for long data][sh].
|
|
* [`AtomicPtr`] implements [`Send`].
|
|
* The [`read_to_end`] implementations for [`Stdin`] and [`File`]
|
|
are now [specialized to use uninitalized buffers for increased
|
|
performance][rte].
|
|
* Lifetime parameters of foreign functions [are now resolved
|
|
properly][f].
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Rust can now, with some coercion, [produce programs that run on
|
|
Windows XP][xp], though XP is not considered a supported platform.
|
|
* Porting Rust on Windows from the GNU toolchain to MSVC continues
|
|
([1][win1], [2][win2], [3][win3], [4][win4]). It is still not
|
|
recommended for use in 1.3, though should be fully-functional
|
|
in the [64-bit 1.4 beta][b14].
|
|
* On Fedora-based systems installation will [properly configure the
|
|
dynamic linker][fl].
|
|
* The compiler gained many new extended error descriptions, which can
|
|
be accessed with the `--explain` flag.
|
|
* The `dropck` pass, which checks that destructors can't access
|
|
destroyed values, [has been rewritten][dropck]. This fixes some
|
|
soundness holes, and as such will cause some previously-compiling
|
|
code to no longer build.
|
|
* `rustc` now uses [LLVM to write archive files where possible][ar].
|
|
Eventually this will eliminate the compiler's dependency on the ar
|
|
utility.
|
|
* Rust has [preliminary support for i686 FreeBSD][fb] (it has long
|
|
supported FreeBSD on x86_64).
|
|
* The [`unused_mut`][lum], [`unconditional_recursion`][lur],
|
|
[`improper_ctypes`][lic], and [`negate_unsigned`][lnu] lints are
|
|
more strict.
|
|
* If landing pads are disabled (with `-Z no-landing-pads`), [`panic!`
|
|
will kill the process instead of leaking][nlp].

Version 1.2.0 (2015-08-07)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
* ~1200 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Highlights
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* [Dynamically-sized-type coercions][dst] allow smart pointer types
|
|
like `Rc` to contain types without a fixed size, arrays and trait
|
|
objects, finally enabling use of `Rc<[T]>` and completing the
|
|
implementation of DST.
|
|
* [Parallel codegen][parcodegen] is now working again, which can
|
|
substantially speed up large builds in debug mode; It also gets
|
|
another ~33% speedup when bootstrapping on a 4 core machine (using 8
|
|
jobs). It's not enabled by default, but will be "in the near
|
|
future". It can be activated with the `-C codegen-units=N` flag to
|
|
`rustc`.
|
|
* This is the first release with [experimental support for linking
|
|
with the MSVC linker and lib C on Windows (instead of using the GNU
|
|
variants via MinGW)][win]. It is yet recommended only for the most
|
|
intrepid Rusticians.
|
|
* Benchmark compilations are showing a 30% improvement in
|
|
bootstrapping over 1.1.
|
|
|
|
Breaking Changes
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* The [`to_uppercase`] and [`to_lowercase`] methods on `char` now do
|
|
unicode case mapping, which is a previously-planned change in
|
|
behavior and considered a bugfix.
|
|
* [`mem::align_of`] now specifies [the *minimum alignment* for
|
|
T][align], which is usually the alignment programs are interested
|
|
in, and the same value reported by clang's
|
|
`alignof`. [`mem::min_align_of`] is deprecated. This is not known to
|
|
break real code.
|
|
* [The `#[packed]` attribute is no longer silently accepted by the
|
|
compiler][packed]. This attribute did nothing and code that
|
|
mentioned it likely did not work as intended.
|
|
* Associated type defaults are [now behind the
|
|
`associated_type_defaults` feature gate][ad]. In 1.1 associated type
|
|
defaults *did not work*, but could be mentioned syntactically. As
|
|
such this breakage has minimal impact.
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Patterns with `ref mut` now correctly invoke [`DerefMut`] when
|
|
matching against dereferencable values.
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* The [`Extend`] trait, which grows a collection from an iterator, is
|
|
implemented over iterators of references, for `String`, `Vec`,
|
|
`LinkedList`, `VecDeque`, `EnumSet`, `BinaryHeap`, `VecMap`,
|
|
`BTreeSet` and `BTreeMap`. [RFC][extend-rfc].
|
|
* The [`iter::once`] function returns an iterator that yields a single
|
|
element, and [`iter::empty`] returns an iterator that yields no
|
|
elements.
|
|
* The [`matches`] and [`rmatches`] methods on `str` return iterators
|
|
over substring matches.
|
|
* [`Cell`] and [`RefCell`] both implement `Eq`.
|
|
* A number of methods for wrapping arithmetic are added to the
|
|
integral types, [`wrapping_div`], [`wrapping_rem`],
|
|
[`wrapping_neg`], [`wrapping_shl`], [`wrapping_shr`]. These are in
|
|
addition to the existing [`wrapping_add`], [`wrapping_sub`], and
|
|
[`wrapping_mul`] methods, and alternatives to the [`Wrapping`]
|
|
type.. It is illegal for the default arithmetic operations in Rust
|
|
to overflow; the desire to wrap must be explicit.
|
|
* The `{:#?}` formatting specifier [displays the alternate,
|
|
pretty-printed][debugfmt] form of the `Debug` formatter. This
|
|
feature was actually introduced prior to 1.0 with little
|
|
fanfare.
|
|
* [`fmt::Formatter`] implements [`fmt::Write`], a `fmt`-specific trait
|
|
for writing data to formatted strings, similar to [`io::Write`].
|
|
* [`fmt::Formatter`] adds 'debug builder' methods, [`debug_struct`],
|
|
[`debug_tuple`], [`debug_list`], [`debug_set`], [`debug_map`]. These
|
|
are used by code generators to emit implementations of [`Debug`].
|
|
* `str` has new [`to_uppercase`][strup] and [`to_lowercase`][strlow]
|
|
methods that convert case, following Unicode case mapping.
|
|
* It is now easier to handle poisoned locks. The [`PoisonError`]
|
|
type, returned by failing lock operations, exposes `into_inner`,
|
|
`get_ref`, and `get_mut`, which all give access to the inner lock
|
|
guard, and allow the poisoned lock to continue to operate. The
|
|
`is_poisoned` method of [`RwLock`] and [`Mutex`] can poll for a
|
|
poisoned lock without attempting to take the lock.
|
|
* On Unix the [`FromRawFd`] trait is implemented for [`Stdio`], and
|
|
[`AsRawFd`] for [`ChildStdin`], [`ChildStdout`], [`ChildStderr`].
|
|
On Windows the `FromRawHandle` trait is implemented for `Stdio`,
|
|
and `AsRawHandle` for `ChildStdin`, `ChildStdout`,
|
|
`ChildStderr`.
|
|
* [`io::ErrorKind`] has a new variant, `InvalidData`, which indicates
|
|
malformed input.

|
|
|
* `rustc` employs smarter heuristics for guessing at [typos].
|
|
* `rustc` emits more efficient code for [no-op conversions between
|
|
unsafe pointers][nop].
|
|
* Fat pointers are now [passed in pairs of immediate arguments][fat],
|
|
resulting in faster compile times and smaller code.

Version 1.1.0 (2015-06-25)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
* ~850 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Highlights
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* The [`std::fs` module has been expanded][fs] to expand the set of
|
|
functionality exposed:
|
|
* `DirEntry` now supports optimizations like `file_type` and `metadata` which
|
|
don't incur a syscall on some platforms.
|
|
* A `symlink_metadata` function has been added.
|
|
* The `fs::Metadata` structure now lowers to its OS counterpart, providing
|
|
access to all underlying information.
|
|
* The compiler now contains extended explanations of many errors. When an error
|
|
with an explanation occurs the compiler suggests using the `--explain` flag
|
|
to read the explanation. Error explanations are also [available online][err-index].
|
|
* Thanks to multiple [improvements][sk] to [type checking][pre], as
|
|
well as other work, the time to bootstrap the compiler decreased by
|
|
32%.
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* The [`str::split_whitespace`] method splits a string on unicode
|
|
whitespace boundaries.
|
|
* On both Windows and Unix, new extension traits provide conversion of
|
|
I/O types to and from the underlying system handles. On Unix, these
|
|
traits are [`FromRawFd`] and [`AsRawFd`], on Windows `FromRawHandle`
|
|
and `AsRawHandle`. These are implemented for `File`, `TcpStream`,
|
|
`TcpListener`, and `UpdSocket`. Further implementations for
|
|
`std::process` will be stabilized later.
|
|
* On Unix, [`std::os::unix::symlink`] creates symlinks. On
|
|
Windows, symlinks can be created with
|
|
`std::os::windows::symlink_dir` and
|
|
`std::os::windows::symlink_file`.
|
|
* The `mpsc::Receiver` type can now be converted into an iterator with
|
|
`into_iter` on the [`IntoIterator`] trait.
|
|
* `Ipv4Addr` can be created from `u32` with the `From<u32>`
|
|
implementation of the [`From`] trait.
|
|
* The `Debug` implementation for `RangeFull` [creates output that is
|
|
more consistent with other implementations][rf].
|
|
* [`Debug` is implemented for `File`][file].
|
|
* The `Default` implementation for `Arc` [no longer requires `Sync +
|
|
Send`][arc].
|
|
* [The `Iterator` methods `count`, `nth`, and `last` have been
|
|
overridden for slices to have O(1) performance instead of O(n)][si].
|
|
* Incorrect handling of paths on Windows has been improved in both the
|
|
compiler and the standard library.
|
|
* [`AtomicPtr` gained a `Default` implementation][ap].
|
|
* In accordance with Rust's policy on arithmetic overflow `abs` now
|
|
[panics on overflow when debug assertions are enabled][abs].
|
|
* The [`Cloned`] iterator, which was accidentally left unstable for
|
|
1.0 [has been stabilized][c].
|
|
* The [`Incoming`] iterator, which iterates over incoming TCP
|
|
connections, and which was accidentally unnamable in 1.0, [is now
|
|
properly exported][inc].
|
|
* [`BinaryHeap`] no longer corrupts itself [when functions called by
|
|
`sift_up` or `sift_down` panic][bh].
|
|
* The [`split_off`] method of `LinkedList` [no longer corrupts
|
|
the list in certain scenarios][ll].
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Type checking performance [has improved notably][sk] with
|
|
[multiple improvements][pre].
|
|
* The compiler [suggests code changes][ch] for more errors.
|
|
* rustc and it's build system have experimental support for [building
|
|
toolchains against MUSL][m] instead of glibc on Linux.
|
|
* The compiler defines the `target_env` cfg value, which is used for
|
|
distinguishing toolchains that are otherwise for the same
|
|
platform. Presently this is set to `gnu` for common GNU Linux
|
|
targets and for MinGW targets, and `musl` for MUSL Linux targets.
|
|
* The [`cargo rustc`][crc] command invokes a build with custom flags
|
|
to rustc.
|
|
* [Android executables are always position independent][pie].
|
|
* [The `drop_with_repr_extern` lint warns about mixing `repr(C)`
|
|
with `Drop`][drop].

Version 1.0.0 (2015-05-15)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
* ~1500 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Highlights
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* The vast majority of the standard library is now `#[stable]`. It is
|
|
no longer possible to use unstable features with a stable build of
|
|
the compiler.
|
|
* Many popular crates on [crates.io] now work on the stable release
|
|
channel.
|
|
* Arithmetic on basic integer types now [checks for overflow in debug
|
|
builds][overflow].
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Several [restrictions have been added to trait coherence][coh] in
|
|
order to make it easier for upstream authors to change traits
|
|
without breaking downstream code.
|
|
* Digits of binary and octal literals are [lexed more eagerly][lex] to
|
|
improve error messages and macro behavior. For example, `0b1234` is
|
|
now lexed as `0b1234` instead of two tokens, `0b1` and `234`.
|
|
* Trait bounds [are always invariant][inv], eliminating the need for
|
|
the `PhantomFn` and `MarkerTrait` lang items, which have been
|
|
removed.
|
|
* ["-" is no longer a valid character in crate names][cr], the `extern crate
|
|
"foo" as bar` syntax has been replaced with `extern crate foo as
|
|
bar`, and Cargo now automatically translates "-" in *package* names
|
|
to underscore for the crate name.
|
|
* [Lifetime shadowing is an error][lt].
|
|
* [`Send` no longer implies `'static`][send-rfc].
|
|
* [UFCS now supports trait-less associated paths][moar-ufcs] like
|
|
`MyType::default()`.
|
|
* Primitive types [now have inherent methods][prim-inherent],
|
|
obviating the need for extension traits like `SliceExt`.
|
|
* Methods with `Self: Sized` in their `where` clause are [considered
|
|
object-safe][self-sized], allowing many extension traits like
|
|
`IteratorExt` to be merged into the traits they extended.
|
|
* You can now [refer to associated types][assoc-where] whose
|
|
corresponding trait bounds appear only in a `where` clause.
|
|
* The final bits of [OIBIT landed][oibit-final], meaning that traits
|
|
like `Send` and `Sync` are now library-defined.
|
|
* A [Reflect trait][reflect] was introduced, which means that
|
|
downcasting via the `Any` trait is effectively limited to concrete
|
|
types. This helps retain the potentially-important "parametricity"
|
|
property: generic code cannot behave differently for different type
|
|
arguments except in minor ways.
|
|
* The `unsafe_destructor` feature is now deprecated in favor of the
|
|
[new `dropck`][dropck]. This change is a major reduction in unsafe
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
Libraries
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* The `thread_local` module [has been renamed to `std::thread`][th].
|
|
* The methods of `IteratorExt` [have been moved to the `Iterator`
|
|
trait itself][ie].
|
|
* Several traits that implement Rust's conventions for type
|
|
conversions, `AsMut`, `AsRef`, `From`, and `Into` have been
|
|
[centralized in the `std::convert` module][con].
|
|
* The `FromError` trait [was removed in favor of `From`][fe].
|
|
* The basic sleep function [has moved to
|
|
`std::thread::sleep_ms`][slp].
|
|
* The `splitn` function now takes an `n` parameter that represents the
|
|
number of items yielded by the returned iterator [instead of the
|
|
number of 'splits'][spl].
|
|
* [On Unix, all file descriptors are `CLOEXEC` by default][clo].
|
|
* [Derived implementations of `PartialOrd` now order enums according
|
|
to their explicitly-assigned discriminants][po].
|
|
* [Methods for searching strings are generic over `Pattern`s][pat],
|
|
implemented presently by `&char`, `&str`, `FnMut(char) -> bool` and
|
|
some others.
|
|
* [In method resolution, object methods are resolved before inherent
|
|
methods][meth].
|
|
* [`String::from_str` has been deprecated in favor of the `From` impl,
|
|
`String::from`][sf].
|
|
* [`io::Error` implements `Sync`][ios].
|
|
* [The `words` method on `&str` has been replaced with
|
|
`split_whitespace`][sw], to avoid answering the tricky question, 'what is
|
|
a word?'
|
|
* The new path and IO modules are complete and `#[stable]`. This
|
|
was the major library focus for this cycle.
|
|
* The path API was [revised][path-normalize] to normalize `.`,
|
|
adjusting the tradeoffs in favor of the most common usage.
|
|
* A large number of remaining APIs in `std` were also stabilized
|
|
during this cycle; about 75% of the non-deprecated API surface
|
|
is now stable.
|
|
* The new [string pattern API][string-pattern] landed, which makes
|
|
the string slice API much more internally consistent and flexible.
|
|
* A new set of [generic conversion traits][conversion] replaced
|
|
many existing ad hoc traits.
|
|
* Generic numeric traits were [completely removed][num-traits]. This
|
|
was made possible thanks to inherent methods for primitive types,
|
|
and the removal gives maximal flexibility for designing a numeric
|
|
hierarchy in the future.
|
|
* The `Fn` traits are now related via [inheritance][fn-inherit]
|
|
and provide ergonomic [blanket implementations][fn-blanket].
|
|
* The `Index` and `IndexMut` traits were changed to
|
|
[take the index by value][index-value], enabling code like
|
|
`hash_map["string"]` to work.
|
|
* `Copy` now [inherits][copy-clone] from `Clone`, meaning that all
|
|
`Copy` data is known to be `Clone` as well.
|
|
|
|
Misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Many errors now have extended explanations that can be accessed with
|
|
the `--explain` flag to `rustc`.
|
|
* Many new examples have been added to the standard library
|
|
documentation.
|
|
* rustdoc has received a number of improvements focused on completion
|
|
and polish.
|
|
* Metadata was tuned, shrinking binaries [by 27%][metadata-shrink].
|
|
* Much headway was made on ecosystem-wide CI, making it possible
|
|
to [compare builds for breakage][ci-compare].

Version 1.0.0-alpha.2 (2015-02-20)
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
* ~1300 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
* Highlights
|
|
|
|
* The various I/O modules were [overhauled][io-rfc] to reduce
|
|
unnecessary abstractions and provide better interoperation with
|
|
the underlying platform. The old `io` module remains temporarily
|
|
at `std::old_io`.
|
|
* The standard library now [participates in feature gating][feat],
|
|
so use of unstable libraries now requires a `#![feature(...)]`
|
|
attribute. The impact of this change is [described on the
|
|
forum][feat-forum]. [RFC][feat-rfc].
|
|
|
|
* Language
|
|
|
|
* `for` loops [now operate on the `IntoIterator` trait][into],
|
|
which eliminates the need to call `.iter()`, etc. to iterate
|
|
over collections. There are some new subtleties to remember
|
|
though regarding what sort of iterators various types yield, in
|
|
particular that `for foo in bar { }` yields values from a move
|
|
iterator, destroying the original collection. [RFC][into-rfc].
|
|
* Objects now have [default lifetime bounds][obj], so you don't
|
|
have to write `Box<Trait+'static>` when you don't care about
|
|
storing references. [RFC][obj-rfc].
|
|
* In types that implement `Drop`, [lifetimes must outlive the
|
|
value][drop]. This will soon make it possible to safely
|
|
implement `Drop` for types where `#[unsafe_destructor]` is now
|
|
required. Read the [gorgeous RFC][drop-rfc] for details.
|
|
* The fully qualified <T as Trait>::X syntax lets you set the Self
|
|
type for a trait method or associated type. [RFC][ufcs-rfc].
|
|
* References to types that implement `Deref<U>` now [automatically
|
|
coerce to references][deref] to the dereferenced type `U`,
|
|
e.g. `&T where T: Deref<U>` automatically coerces to `&U`. This
|
|
should eliminate many unsightly uses of `&*`, as when converting
|
|
from references to vectors into references to
|
|
slices. [RFC][deref-rfc].
|
|
* The explicit [closure kind syntax][close] (`|&:|`, `|&mut:|`,
|
|
`|:|`) is obsolete and closure kind is inferred from context.
|
|
* [`Self` is a keyword][Self].
|
|
|
|
* Libraries
|
|
|
|
* The `Show` and `String` formatting traits [have been
|
|
renamed][fmt] to `Debug` and `Display` to more clearly reflect
|
|
their related purposes. Automatically getting a string
|
|
conversion to use with `format!("{:?}", something_to_debug)` is
|
|
now written `#[derive(Debug)]`.
|
|
* Abstract [OS-specific string types][osstr], `std::ff::{OsString,
|
|
OsStr}`, provide strings in platform-specific encodings for easier
|
|
interop with system APIs. [RFC][osstr-rfc].
|
|
* The `boxed::into_raw` and `Box::from_raw` functions [convert
|
|
between `Box<T>` and `*mut T`][boxraw], a common pattern for
|
|
creating raw pointers.
|
|
|
|
* Tooling
|
|
|
|
* Certain long error messages of the form 'expected foo found bar'
|
|
are now [split neatly across multiple
|
|
lines][multiline]. Examples in the PR.
|
|
* On Unix Rust can be [uninstalled][un] by running
|
|
`/usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh`.
|
|
* The `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]` attribute, requiring the
|
|
'on_unimplemented' feature, lets rustc [display custom error
|
|
messages when a trait is expected to be implemented for a type
|
|
but is not][onun].
|
|
|
|
* Misc
|
|
|
|
* Rust is tested against a [LALR grammar][lalr], which parses
|
|
almost all the Rust files that rustc does.

Version 1.0.0-alpha (2015-01-09)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
* ~2400 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
* Highlights
|
|
|
|
* The language itself is considered feature complete for 1.0,
|
|
though there will be many usability improvements and bugfixes
|
|
before the final release.
|
|
* Nearly 50% of the public API surface of the standard library has
|
|
been declared 'stable'. Those interfaces are unlikely to change
|
|
before 1.0.
|
|
* The long-running debate over integer types has been
|
|
[settled][ints]: Rust will ship with types named `isize` and
|
|
`usize`, rather than `int` and `uint`, for pointer-sized
|
|
integers. Guidelines will be rolled out during the alpha cycle.
|
|
* Most crates that are not `std` have been moved out of the Rust
|
|
distribution into the Cargo ecosystem so they can evolve
|
|
separately and don't need to be stabilized as quickly, including
|
|
'time', 'getopts', 'num', 'regex', and 'term'.
|
|
* Documentation continues to be expanded with more API coverage, more
|
|
examples, and more in-depth explanations. The guides have been
|
|
consolidated into [The Rust Programming Language][trpl].
|
|
* "[Rust By Example][rbe]" is now maintained by the Rust team.
|
|
* All official Rust binary installers now come with [Cargo], the
|
|
Rust package manager.
|
|
|
|
* Language
|
|
|
|
* Closures have been [completely redesigned][unboxed] to be
|
|
implemented in terms of traits, can now be used as generic type
|
|
bounds and thus monomorphized and inlined, or via an opaque
|
|
pointer (boxed) as in the old system. The new system is often
|
|
referred to as 'unboxed' closures.
|
|
* Traits now support [associated types][assoc], allowing families
|
|
of related types to be defined together and used generically in
|
|
powerful ways.
|
|
* Enum variants are [namespaced by their type names][enum].
|
|
* [`where` clauses][where] provide a more versatile and attractive
|
|
syntax for specifying generic bounds, though the previous syntax
|
|
remains valid.
|
|
* Rust again picks a [fallback][fb] (either i32 or f64) for uninferred
|
|
numeric types.
|
|
* Rust [no longer has a runtime][rt] of any description, and only
|
|
supports OS threads, not green threads.
|
|
* At long last, Rust has been overhauled for 'dynamically-sized
|
|
types' ([DST]), which integrates 'fat pointers' (object types,
|
|
arrays, and `str`) more deeply into the type system, making it
|
|
more consistent.
|
|
* Rust now has a general [range syntax][range], `i..j`, `i..`, and
|
|
`..j` that produce range types and which, when combined with the
|
|
`Index` operator and multidispatch, leads to a convenient slice
|
|
notation, `[i..j]`.
|
|
* The new range syntax revealed an ambiguity in the fixed-length
|
|
array syntax, so now fixed length arrays [are written `[T;
|
|
N]`][arrays].
|
|
* The `Copy` trait is no longer implemented automatically. Unsafe
|
|
pointers no longer implement `Sync` and `Send` so types
|
|
containing them don't automatically either. `Sync` and `Send`
|
|
are now 'unsafe traits' so one can "forcibly" implement them via
|
|
`unsafe impl` if a type confirms to the requirements for them
|
|
even though the internals do not (e.g. structs containing unsafe
|
|
pointers like `Arc`). These changes are intended to prevent some
|
|
footguns and are collectively known as [opt-in built-in
|
|
traits][oibit] (though `Sync` and `Send` will soon become pure
|
|
library types unknown to the compiler).
|
|
* Operator traits now take their operands [by value][ops], and
|
|
comparison traits can use multidispatch to compare one type
|
|
against multiple other types, allowing e.g. `String` to be
|
|
compared with `&str`.
|
|
* `if let` and `while let` are no longer feature-gated.
|
|
* Rust has adopted a more [uniform syntax for escaping unicode
|
|
characters][unicode].
|
|
* `macro_rules!` [has been declared stable][mac]. Though it is a
|
|
flawed system it is sufficiently popular that it must be usable
|
|
for 1.0. Effort has gone into [future-proofing][mac-future] it
|
|
in ways that will allow other macro systems to be developed in
|
|
parallel, and won't otherwise impact the evolution of the
|
|
language.
|
|
* The prelude has been [pared back significantly][prelude] such
|
|
that it is the minimum necessary to support the most pervasive
|
|
code patterns, and through [generalized where clauses][where]
|
|
many of the prelude extension traits have been consolidated.
|
|
* Rust's rudimentary reflection [has been removed][refl], as it
|
|
incurred too much code generation for little benefit.
|
|
* [Struct variants][structvars] are no longer feature-gated.
|
|
* Trait bounds can be [polymorphic over lifetimes][hrtb]. Also
|
|
known as 'higher-ranked trait bounds', this crucially allows
|
|
unboxed closures to work.
|
|
* Macros invocations surrounded by parens or square brackets and
|
|
not terminated by a semicolon are [parsed as
|
|
expressions][macros], which makes expressions like `vec![1i32,
|
|
2, 3].len()` work as expected.
|
|
* Trait objects now implement their traits automatically, and
|
|
traits that can be coerced to objects now must be [object
|
|
safe][objsafe].
|
|
* Automatically deriving traits is now done with `#[derive(...)]`
|
|
not `#[deriving(...)]` for [consistency with other naming
|
|
conventions][derive].
|
|
* Importing the containing module or enum at the same time as
|
|
items or variants they contain is [now done with `self` instead
|
|
of `mod`][self], as in use `foo::{self, bar}`
|
|
* Glob imports are no longer feature-gated.
|
|
* The `box` operator and `box` patterns have been feature-gated
|
|
pending a redesign. For now unique boxes should be allocated
|
|
like other containers, with `Box::new`.
|
|
|
|
* Libraries
|
|
|
|
* A [series][coll1] of [efforts][coll2] to establish
|
|
[conventions][coll3] for collections types has resulted in API
|
|
improvements throughout the standard library.
|
|
* New [APIs for error handling][err] provide ergonomic interop
|
|
between error types, and [new conventions][err-conv] describe
|
|
more clearly the recommended error handling strategies in Rust.
|
|
* The `fail!` macro has been renamed to [`panic!`][panic] so that
|
|
it is easier to discuss failure in the context of error handling
|
|
without making clarifications as to whether you are referring to
|
|
the 'fail' macro or failure more generally.
|
|
* On Linux, `OsRng` prefers the new, more reliable `getrandom`
|
|
syscall when available.
|
|
* The 'serialize' crate has been renamed 'rustc-serialize' and
|
|
moved out of the distribution to Cargo. Although it is widely
|
|
used now, it is expected to be superseded in the near future.
|
|
* The `Show` formatter, typically implemented with
|
|
`#[derive(Show)]` is [now requested with the `{:?}`
|
|
specifier][show] and is intended for use by all types, for uses
|
|
such as `println!` debugging. The new `String` formatter must be
|
|
implemented by hand, uses the `{}` specifier, and is intended
|
|
for full-fidelity conversions of things that can logically be
|
|
represented as strings.
|
|
|
|
* Tooling
|
|
|
|
* [Flexible target specification][flex] allows rustc's code
|
|
generation to be configured to support otherwise-unsupported
|
|
platforms.
|
|
* Rust comes with rust-gdb and rust-lldb scripts that launch their
|
|
respective debuggers with Rust-appropriate pretty-printing.
|
|
* The Windows installation of Rust is distributed with the the
|
|
MinGW components currently required to link binaries on that
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
* Misc
|
|
|
|
* Nullable enum optimizations have been extended to more types so
|
|
that e.g. `Option<Vec<T>>` and `Option<String>` take up no more
|
|
space than the inner types themselves.
|
|
* Work has begun on supporting AArch64.

Version 0.12.0 (2014-10-09)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
* ~1900 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
* Highlights
|
|
|
|
* The introductory documentation (now called The Rust Guide) has
|
|
been completely rewritten, as have a number of supplementary
|
|
guides.
|
|
* Rust's package manager, Cargo, continues to improve and is
|
|
sometimes considered to be quite awesome.
|
|
* Many API's in `std` have been reviewed and updated for
|
|
consistency with the in-development Rust coding
|
|
guidelines. The standard library documentation tracks
|
|
stabilization progress.
|
|
* Minor libraries have been moved out-of-tree to the rust-lang org
|
|
on GitHub: uuid, semver, glob, num, hexfloat, fourcc. They can
|
|
be installed with Cargo.
|
|
* Lifetime elision allows lifetime annotations to be left off of
|
|
function declarations in many common scenarios.
|
|
* Rust now works on 64-bit Windows.
|
|
|
|
* Language
|
|
* Indexing can be overloaded with the `Index` and `IndexMut`
|
|
traits.
|
|
* The `if let` construct takes a branch only if the `let` pattern
|
|
matches, currently behind the 'if_let' feature gate.
|
|
* 'where clauses', a more flexible syntax for specifying trait
|
|
bounds that is more aesthetic, have been added for traits and
|
|
free functions. Where clauses will in the future make it
|
|
possible to constrain associated types, which would be
|
|
impossible with the existing syntax.
|
|
* A new slicing syntax (e.g. `[0..4]`) has been introduced behind
|
|
the 'slicing_syntax' feature gate, and can be overloaded with
|
|
the `Slice` or `SliceMut` traits.
|
|
* The syntax for matching of sub-slices has been changed to use a
|
|
postfix `..` instead of prefix (.e.g. `[a, b, c..]`), for
|
|
consistency with other uses of `..` and to future-proof
|
|
potential additional uses of the syntax.
|
|
* The syntax for matching inclusive ranges in patterns has changed
|
|
from `0..3` to `0...4` to be consistent with the exclusive range
|
|
syntax for slicing.
|
|
* Matching of sub-slices in non-tail positions (e.g. `[a.., b,
|
|
c]`) has been put behind the 'advanced_slice_patterns' feature
|
|
gate and may be removed in the future.
|
|
* Components of tuples and tuple structs can be extracted using
|
|
the `value.0` syntax, currently behind the `tuple_indexing`
|
|
feature gate.
|
|
* The `#[crate_id]` attribute is no longer supported; versioning
|
|
is handled by the package manager.
|
|
* Renaming crate imports are now written `extern crate foo as bar`
|
|
instead of `extern crate bar = foo`.
|
|
* Renaming use statements are now written `use foo as bar` instead
|
|
of `use bar = foo`.
|
|
* `let` and `match` bindings and argument names in macros are now
|
|
hygienic.
|
|
* The new, more efficient, closure types ('unboxed closures') have
|
|
been added under a feature gate, 'unboxed_closures'. These will
|
|
soon replace the existing closure types, once higher-ranked
|
|
trait lifetimes are added to the language.
|
|
* `move` has been added as a keyword, for indicating closures
|
|
that capture by value.
|
|
* Mutation and assignment is no longer allowed in pattern guards.
|
|
* Generic structs and enums can now have trait bounds.
|
|
* The `Share` trait is now called `Sync` to free up the term
|
|
'shared' to refer to 'shared reference' (the default reference
|
|
type.
|
|
* Dynamically-sized types have been mostly implemented,
|
|
unifying the behavior of fat-pointer types with the rest of the
|
|
type system.
|
|
* As part of dynamically-sized types, the `Sized` trait has been
|
|
introduced, which qualifying types implement by default, and
|
|
which type parameters expect by default. To specify that a type
|
|
parameter does not need to be sized, write `<Sized? T>`. Most
|
|
types are `Sized`, notable exceptions being unsized arrays
|
|
(`[T]`) and trait types.
|
|
* Closures can return `!`, as in `|| -> !` or `proc() -> !`.
|
|
* Lifetime bounds can now be applied to type parameters and object
|
|
types.
|
|
* The old, reference counted GC type, `Gc<T>` which was once
|
|
denoted by the `@` sigil, has finally been removed. GC will be
|
|
revisited in the future.
|
|
|
|
* Libraries
|
|
* Library documentation has been improved for a number of modules.
|
|
* Bit-vectors, collections::bitv has been modernized.
|
|
* The url crate is deprecated in favor of
|
|
http://github.com/servo/rust-url, which can be installed with
|
|
Cargo.
|
|
* Most I/O stream types can be cloned and subsequently closed from
|
|
a different thread.
|
|
* A `std::time::Duration` type has been added for use in I/O
|
|
methods that rely on timers, as well as in the 'time' crate's
|
|
`Timespec` arithmetic.
|
|
* The runtime I/O abstraction layer that enabled the green thread
|
|
scheduler to do non-thread-blocking I/O has been removed, along
|
|
with the libuv-based implementation employed by the green thread
|
|
scheduler. This will greatly simplify the future I/O work.
|
|
* `collections::btree` has been rewritten to have a more
|
|
idiomatic and efficient design.
|
|
|
|
* Tooling
|
|
* rustdoc output now indicates the stability levels of API's.
|
|
* The `--crate-name` flag can specify the name of the crate
|
|
being compiled, like `#[crate_name]`.
|
|
* The `-C metadata` specifies additional metadata to hash into
|
|
symbol names, and `-C extra-filename` specifies additional
|
|
information to put into the output filename, for use by the
|
|
package manager for versioning.
|
|
* debug info generation has continued to improve and should be
|
|
more reliable under both gdb and lldb.
|
|
* rustc has experimental support for compiling in parallel
|
|
using the `-C codegen-units` flag.
|
|
* rustc no longer encodes rpath information into binaries by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
* Misc
|
|
* Stack usage has been optimized with LLVM lifetime annotations.
|
|
* Official Rust binaries on Linux are more compatible with older
|
|
kernels and distributions, built on CentOS 5.10.

Version 0.11.0 (2014-07-02)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
* ~1700 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
* Language
|
|
* ~[T] has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by
|
|
the Vec<T> type.
|
|
* ~str has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by
|
|
the String type.
|
|
* ~T has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by the
|
|
Box<T> type.
|
|
* @T has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by the
|
|
standard library's std::gc::Gc<T> type.
|
|
* Struct fields are now all private by default.
|
|
* Vector indices and shift amounts are both required to be a `uint`
|
|
instead of any integral type.
|
|
* Byte character, byte string, and raw byte string literals are now all
|
|
supported by prefixing the normal literal with a `b`.
|
|
* Multiple ABIs are no longer allowed in an ABI string
|
|
* The syntax for lifetimes on closures/procedures has been tweaked
|
|
slightly: `<'a>|A, B|: 'b + K -> T`
|
|
* Floating point modulus has been removed from the language; however it
|
|
is still provided by a library implementation.
|
|
* Private enum variants are now disallowed.
|
|
* The `priv` keyword has been removed from the language.
|
|
* A closure can no longer be invoked through a &-pointer.
|
|
* The `use foo, bar, baz;` syntax has been removed from the language.
|
|
* The transmute intrinsic no longer works on type parameters.
|
|
* Statics now allow blocks/items in their definition.
|
|
* Trait bounds are separated from objects with + instead of : now.
|
|
* Objects can no longer be read while they are mutably borrowed.
|
|
* The address of a static is now marked as insignificant unless the
|
|
#[inline(never)] attribute is placed it.
|
|
* The #[unsafe_destructor] attribute is now behind a feature gate.
|
|
* Struct literals are no longer allowed in ambiguous positions such as
|
|
if, while, match, and for..in.
|
|
* Declaration of lang items and intrinsics are now feature-gated by
|
|
default.
|
|
* Integral literals no longer default to `int`, and floating point
|
|
literals no longer default to `f64`. Literals must be suffixed with an
|
|
appropriate type if inference cannot determine the type of the
|
|
literal.
|
|
* The Box<T> type is no longer implicitly borrowed to &mut T.
|
|
* Procedures are now required to not capture borrowed references.
|
|
|
|
* Libraries
|
|
* The standard library is now a "facade" over a number of underlying
|
|
libraries. This means that development on the standard library should
|
|
be speeder due to smaller crates, as well as a clearer line between
|
|
all dependencies.
|
|
* A new library, libcore, lives under the standard library's facade
|
|
which is Rust's "0-assumption" library, suitable for embedded and
|
|
kernel development for example.
|
|
* A regex crate has been added to the standard distribution. This crate
|
|
includes statically compiled regular expressions.
|
|
* The unwrap/unwrap_err methods on Result require a Show bound for
|
|
better error messages.
|
|
* The return types of the std::comm primitives have been centralized
|
|
around the Result type.
|
|
* A number of I/O primitives have gained the ability to time out their
|
|
operations.
|
|
* A number of I/O primitives have gained the ability to close their
|
|
reading/writing halves to cancel pending operations.
|
|
* Reverse iterator methods have been removed in favor of `rev()` on
|
|
their forward-iteration counterparts.
|
|
* A bitflags! macro has been added to enable easy interop with C and
|
|
management of bit flags.
|
|
* A debug_assert! macro is now provided which is disabled when
|
|
`--cfg ndebug` is passed to the compiler.
|
|
* A graphviz crate has been added for creating .dot files.
|
|
* The std::cast module has been migrated into std::mem.

|
|
to being based on methods.
|
|
* The Pod trait has been renamed to Copy.
|
|
* jemalloc has been added as the default allocator for types.
|
|
* The API for allocating memory has been changed to use proper alignment
|
|
and sized deallocation
|
|
* Connecting a TcpStream or binding a TcpListener is now based on a
|
|
string address and a u16 port. This allows connecting to a hostname as
|
|
opposed to an IP.
|
|
* The Reader trait now contains a core method, read_at_least(), which
|
|
correctly handles many repeated 0-length reads.
|
|
* The process-spawning API is now centered around a builder-style
|
|
Command struct.
|
|
* The :? printing qualifier has been moved from the standard library to
|
|
an external libdebug crate.
|
|
* Eq/Ord have been renamed to PartialEq/PartialOrd. TotalEq/TotalOrd
|
|
have been renamed to Eq/Ord.
|
|
* The select/plural methods have been removed from format!. The escapes
|
|
for { and } have also changed from \{ and \} to {{ and }},
|
|
respectively.
|
|
* The TaskBuilder API has been re-worked to be a true builder, and
|
|
extension traits for spawning native/green tasks have been added.
|
|
|
|
* Tooling
|
|
* All breaking changes to the language or libraries now have their
|
|
commit message annotated with `[breaking-change]` to allow for easy
|
|
discovery of breaking changes.
|
|
* The compiler will now try to suggest how to annotate lifetimes if a
|
|
lifetime-related error occurs.
|
|
* Debug info continues to be improved greatly with general bug fixes and
|
|
better support for situations like link time optimization (LTO).
|
|
* Usage of syntax extensions when cross-compiling has been fixed.
|
|
* Functionality equivalent to GCC & Clang's -ffunction-sections,
|
|
-fdata-sections and --gc-sections has been enabled by default
|
|
* The compiler is now stricter about where it will load module files
|
|
from when a module is declared via `mod foo;`.
|
|
* The #[phase(syntax)] attribute has been renamed to #[phase(plugin)].
|
|
Syntax extensions are now discovered via a "plugin registrar" type
|
|
which will be extended in the future to other various plugins.
|
|
* Lints have been restructured to allow for dynamically loadable lints.
|
|
* A number of rustdoc improvements:
|
|
* The HTML output has been visually redesigned.
|
|
* Markdown is now powered by hoedown instead of sundown.
|
|
* Searching heuristics have been greatly improved.
|
|
* The search index has been reduced in size by a great amount.
|
|
* Cross-crate documentation via `pub use` has been greatly improved.
|
|
* Primitive types are now hyperlinked and documented.
|
|
* Documentation has been moved from static.rust-lang.org/doc to
|
|
doc.rust-lang.org
|
|
* A new sandbox, play.rust-lang.org, is available for running and
|
|
sharing rust code examples on-line.
|
|
* Unused attributes are now more robustly warned about.
|
|
* The dead_code lint now warns about unused struct fields.
|
|
* Cross-compiling to iOS is now supported.
|
|
* Cross-compiling to mipsel is now supported.
|
|
* Stability attributes are now inherited by default and no longer apply
|
|
to intra-crate usage, only inter-crate usage.
|
|
* Error message related to non-exhaustive match expressions have been
|
|
greatly improved.
|
|
|

|
|
language.

|
|
* The semantics around the lifetimes of temporary expressions have changed,
|
|
see #3511 and #11585 for more information.
|
|
* Cross-crate syntax extensions are now possible, but feature gated. See
|
|
#11151 for more information. This includes both `macro_rules!` macros as
|
|
well as syntax extensions such as `format!`.
|
|
* New lint modes have been added, and older ones have been turned on to be
|
|
warn-by-default.
|
|
* Unnecessary parentheses
|
|
* Uppercase statics
|
|

|
|
* `#[deriving]` with raw pointers
|
|
* Unsafe functions can no longer be coerced to closures.
|
|
* Various obscure macros such as `log_syntax!` are now behind feature gates.
|

|
|
threads.
|
|

|
|
* Expression/statement macro invocations can be delimited with `{}` now.
|
|
* Treatment of types allowed in `static mut` locations has been tweaked.
|
|
* The `*` and `.` operators are now overloadable through the `Deref` and
|
|
`DerefMut` traits.
|
|
* `~Trait` and `proc` no longer have `Send` bounds by default.
|
|
* Partial type hints are now supported with the `_` type marker.
|
|
* An `Unsafe` type was introduced for interior mutability. It is now
|
|
considered undefined to transmute from `&T` to `&mut T` without using the
|
|
`Unsafe` type.
|

* The #[linkage] attribute was implemented for extern statics/functions.
|
|
* The inner attribute syntax has changed from `#[foo];` to `#![foo]`.

|
|
|
|
* Libraries

|
|
component libraries with smaller and more focused nuggets of
|
|
functionality. The full list of libraries can be found on the
|
|
documentation index page.
|
|
* std: `std::condition` has been removed. All I/O errors are now propagated
|
|
through the `Result` type. In order to assist with error handling, a
|
|
`try!` macro for unwrapping errors with an early return and a lint for
|
|
unused results has been added. See #12039 for more information.
|
|
* std: The `vec` module has been renamed to `slice`.
|
|
* std: A new vector type, `Vec<T>`, has been added in preparation for DST.
|
|
This will become the only growable vector in the future.
|
|
* std: `std::io` now has more public-reexports. Types such as `BufferedReader`
|
|
are now found at `std::io::BufferedReader` instead of
|
|
`std::io::buffered::BufferedReader`.
|
|
* std: `print` and `println` are no longer in the prelude, the `print!` and
|
|
`println!` macros are intended to be used instead.
|
|
* std: `Rc` now has a `Weak` pointer for breaking cycles, and it no longer
|
|
attempts to statically prevent cycles.
|
|
* std: The standard distribution is adopting the policy of pushing failure
|
|
to the user rather than failing in libraries. Many functions (such as
|
|
`slice::last()`) now return `Option<T>` instead of `T` + failing.
|
|
* std: `fmt::Default` has been renamed to `fmt::Show`, and it now has a new
|
|
deriving mode: `#[deriving(Show)]`.
|
|
* std: `ToStr` is now implemented for all types implementing `Show`.

|
|
* std: The `invert()` method on iterators has been renamed to `rev()`
|
|
* std: `std::num` has seen a reduction in the genericity of its traits,
|
|
consolidating functionality into a few core traits.
|
|
* std: Backtraces are now printed on task failure if the environment
|
|
variable `RUST_BACKTRACE` is present.
|
|
* std: Naming conventions for iterators have been standardized. More details
|
|
can be found on the wiki's style guide.
|
|
* std: `eof()` has been removed from the `Reader` trait. Specific types may
|
|
still implement the function.
|
|
* std: Networking types are now cloneable to allow simultaneous reads/writes.
|
|
* std: `assert_approx_eq!` has been removed

|
|
print them in exponential notation.

|
|
* std: Indications of variance and opting out of builtin bounds is done
|
|
through marker types in `std::kinds::marker` now

|
|
`#[deriving(Hash)]` is now possible.
|
|
* std: `SharedChan` has been removed, `Sender` is now cloneable.
|
|
* std: `Chan` and `Port` were renamed to `Sender` and `Receiver`.
|
|

|
|
* collections: `HashMap` has been rewritten for higher performance and less
|
|
memory usage.
|
|
* native: The default runtime is now `libnative`. If `libgreen` is desired,
|
|
it can be booted manually. The runtime guide has more information and
|
|
examples.
|
|
* native: All I/O functionality except signals has been implemented.
|
|
* green: Task spawning with `libgreen` has been optimized with stack caching
|
|
and various trimming of code.
|
|
* green: Tasks spawned by `libgreen` now have an unmapped guard page.
|
|
* sync: The `extra::sync` module has been updated to modern rust (and moved
|
|
to the `sync` library), tweaking and improving various interfaces while
|
|
dropping redundant functionality.
|
|
* sync: A new `Barrier` type has been added to the `sync` library.
|
|
* sync: An efficient mutex for native and green tasks has been implemented.
|
|
* serialize: The `base64` module has seen some improvement. It treats

newlines better, has non-string error values, and has seen general
|
|
cleanup.
|
|

|
|
LLVM optimization passes to enable more extensive optimizations.
|
|
* Debuginfo compatibility with lldb on OSX has been restored.
|
|
* The master branch is now gated on an android bot, making building for
|
|
android much more reliable.
|
|
* Output flags have been centralized into one `--emit` flag.
|
|
* Crate type flags have been centralized into one `--crate-type` flag.
|
|
* Codegen flags have been consolidated behind a `-C` flag.
|
|

|
|
* Error messages with lifetimes will often suggest how to annotate the
|
|
function to fix the error.
|
|

|
|
were written.
|
|
* Many `rustdoc` improvements:
|
|
* code blocks are syntax highlighted.
|
|
* render standalone markdown files.
|
|
* the --test flag tests all code blocks by default.
|
|
* exported macros are displayed.
|
|
* reexported types have their documentation inlined at the location of the
|
|
first reexport.
|
|
* search works across crates that have been rendered to the same output
|
|
directory.

Version 0.9 (2014-01-09)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
* ~1800 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
* Language
|
|
* The `float` type has been removed. Use `f32` or `f64` instead.
|
|
* A new facility for enabling experimental features (feature gating) has
|
|
been added, using the crate-level `#[feature(foo)]` attribute.
|
|
* Managed boxes (@) are now behind a feature gate
|
|
(`#[feature(managed_boxes)]`) in preparation for future removal. Use the
|
|
standard library's `Gc` or `Rc` types instead.
|
|
* `@mut` has been removed. Use `std::cell::{Cell, RefCell}` instead.
|
|
* Jumping back to the top of a loop is now done with `continue` instead of
|
|
`loop`.
|
|
* Strings can no longer be mutated through index assignment.
|
|
* Raw strings can be created via the basic `r"foo"` syntax or with matched
|
|
hash delimiters, as in `r###"foo"###`.
|
|
* `~fn` is now written `proc (args) -> retval { ... }` and may only be
|
|
called once.
|
|
* The `&fn` type is now written `|args| -> ret` to match the literal form.
|
|
* `@fn`s have been removed.
|
|
* `do` only works with procs in order to make it obvious what the cost
|
|
of `do` is.
|
|
* Single-element tuple-like structs can no longer be dereferenced to
|
|
obtain the inner value. A more comprehensive solution for overloading
|
|
the dereference operator will be provided in the future.
|
|
* The `#[link(...)]` attribute has been replaced with
|
|
`#[crate_id = "name#vers"]`.
|
|
* Empty `impl`s must be terminated with empty braces and may not be
|
|
terminated with a semicolon.
|
|
* Keywords are no longer allowed as lifetime names; the `self` lifetime
|
|
no longer has any special meaning.
|
|
* The old `fmt!` string formatting macro has been removed.
|
|
* `printf!` and `printfln!` (old-style formatting) removed in favor of
|
|
`print!` and `println!`.
|
|
* `mut` works in patterns now, as in `let (mut x, y) = (1, 2);`.
|
|
* The `extern mod foo (name = "bar")` syntax has been removed. Use
|
|
`extern mod foo = "bar"` instead.
|
|
* New reserved keywords: `alignof`, `offsetof`, `sizeof`.
|
|
* Macros can have attributes.
|
|
* Macros can expand to items with attributes.
|
|
* Macros can expand to multiple items.
|
|
* The `asm!` macro is feature-gated (`#[feature(asm)]`).
|
|
* Comments may be nested.
|
|
* Values automatically coerce to trait objects they implement, without
|
|
an explicit `as`.
|
|
* Enum discriminants are no longer an entire word but as small as needed to
|
|
contain all the variants. The `repr` attribute can be used to override
|
|
the discriminant size, as in `#[repr(int)]` for integer-sized, and
|
|
`#[repr(C)]` to match C enums.
|
|
* Non-string literals are not allowed in attributes (they never worked).
|
|
* The FFI now supports variadic functions.
|
|
* Octal numeric literals, as in `0o7777`.
|
|
* The `concat!` syntax extension performs compile-time string concatenation.
|
|
* The `#[fixed_stack_segment]` and `#[rust_stack]` attributes have been
|
|
removed as Rust no longer uses segmented stacks.
|
|
* Non-ascii identifiers are feature-gated (`#[feature(non_ascii_idents)]`).
|
|
* Ignoring all fields of an enum variant or tuple-struct is done with `..`,
|
|
not `*`; ignoring remaining fields of a struct is also done with `..`,
|
|
not `_`; ignoring a slice of a vector is done with `..`, not `.._`.
|
|
* `rustc` supports the "win64" calling convention via `extern "win64"`.
|
|
* `rustc` supports the "system" calling convention, which defaults to the
|
|
preferred convention for the target platform, "stdcall" on 32-bit Windows,
|
|
"C" elsewhere.
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Libraries
|
|
* std: The `option` and `result` API's have been overhauled to make them
|
|
simpler, more consistent, and more composable.
|
|
* std: The entire `std::io` module has been replaced with one that is
|
|
more comprehensive and that properly interfaces with the underlying
|
|
scheduler. File, TCP, UDP, Unix sockets, pipes, and timers are all
|
|
implemented.
|
|
* std: `io::util` contains a number of useful implementations of
|
|
`Reader` and `Writer`, including `NullReader`, `NullWriter`,
|
|
`ZeroReader`, `TeeReader`.
|
|
* std: The reference counted pointer type `extra::rc` moved into std.
|
|
* std: The `Gc` type in the `gc` module will replace `@` (it is currently
|
|
just a wrapper around it).
|
|
* std: The `Either` type has been removed.
|
|
* std: `fmt::Default` can be implemented for any type to provide default
|
|
formatting to the `format!` macro, as in `format!("{}", myfoo)`.
|
|
* std: The `rand` API continues to be tweaked.
|
|
* std: The `rust_begin_unwind` function, useful for inserting breakpoints
|
|
on failure in gdb, is now named `rust_fail`.
|
|
* std: The `each_key` and `each_value` methods on `HashMap` have been
|
|
replaced by the `keys` and `values` iterators.
|
|
* std: Functions dealing with type size and alignment have moved from the
|
|
`sys` module to the `mem` module.
|
|
* std: The `path` module was written and API changed.
|
|
* std: `str::from_utf8` has been changed to cast instead of allocate.
|
|
* std: `starts_with` and `ends_with` methods added to vectors via the
|
|
`ImmutableEqVector` trait, which is in the prelude.
|
|
* std: Vectors can be indexed with the `get_opt` method, which returns `None`
|
|
if the index is out of bounds.
|
|
* std: Task failure no longer propagates between tasks, as the model was
|
|
complex, expensive, and incompatible with thread-based tasks.
|
|
* std: The `Any` type can be used for dynamic typing.
|
|
* std: `~Any` can be passed to the `fail!` macro and retrieved via
|
|
`task::try`.
|
|
* std: Methods that produce iterators generally do not have an `_iter`
|
|
suffix now.
|
|
* std: `cell::Cell` and `cell::RefCell` can be used to introduce mutability
|
|
roots (mutable fields, etc.). Use instead of e.g. `@mut`.
|
|
* std: `util::ignore` renamed to `prelude::drop`.
|
|
* std: Slices have `sort` and `sort_by` methods via the `MutableVector`
|
|
trait.
|
|
* std: `vec::raw` has seen a lot of cleanup and API changes.
|
|
* std: The standard library no longer includes any C++ code, and very
|
|
minimal C, eliminating the dependency on libstdc++.
|
|
* std: Runtime scheduling and I/O functionality has been factored out into
|
|
extensible interfaces and is now implemented by two different crates:
|
|
libnative, for native threading and I/O; and libgreen, for green threading
|
|
and I/O. This paves the way for using the standard library in more limited
|
|
embedded environments.
|
|
* std: The `comm` module has been rewritten to be much faster, have a
|
|
simpler, more consistent API, and to work for both native and green
|
|
threading.
|
|
* std: All libuv dependencies have been moved into the rustuv crate.
|
|
* native: New implementations of runtime scheduling on top of OS threads.
|
|
* native: New native implementations of TCP, UDP, file I/O, process spawning,
|
|
and other I/O.
|
|
* green: The green thread scheduler and message passing types are almost
|
|
entirely lock-free.
|
|
* extra: The `flatpipes` module had bitrotted and was removed.
|
|
* extra: All crypto functions have been removed and Rust now has a policy of
|
|
not reimplementing crypto in the standard library. In the future crypto
|
|
will be provided by external crates with bindings to established libraries.
|
|
* extra: `c_vec` has been modernized.
|
|
* extra: The `sort` module has been removed. Use the `sort` method on
|
|
mutable slices.

|
* The `rust` and `rusti` commands have been removed, due to lack of
|
|
maintenance.
|
|
* `rustdoc` was completely rewritten.
|
|
* `rustdoc` can test code examples in documentation.
|
|
* `rustpkg` can test packages with the argument, 'test'.
|
|
* `rustpkg` supports arbitrary dependencies, including C libraries.
|
|
* `rustc`'s support for generating debug info is improved again.
|
|
* `rustc` has better error reporting for unbalanced delimiters.
|
|
* `rustc`'s JIT support was removed due to bitrot.
|
|
* Executables and static libraries can be built with LTO (-Z lto)
|

|
|
build tools.

Version 0.8 (2013-09-26)
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
* ~2200 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
|
|
|
* Language
|
|
* The `for` loop syntax has changed to work with the `Iterator` trait.
|
|
* At long last, unwinding works on Windows.
|
|
* Default methods are ready for use.
|
|
* Many trait inheritance bugs fixed.
|
|
* Owned and borrowed trait objects work more reliably.
|
|
* `copy` is no longer a keyword. It has been replaced by the `Clone` trait.
|
|
* rustc can omit emission of code for the `debug!` macro if it is passed
|
|
`--cfg ndebug`
|
|
* mod.rs is now "blessed". When loading `mod foo;`, rustc will now look
|
|
for foo.rs, then foo/mod.rs, and will generate an error when both are
|
|
present.
|
|
* Strings no longer contain trailing nulls. The new `std::c_str` module
|
|
provides new mechanisms for converting to C strings.
|
|
* The type of foreign functions is now `extern "C" fn` instead of `*u8'.
|
|
* The FFI has been overhauled such that foreign functions are called directly,
|
|
instead of through a stack-switching wrapper.
|
|
* Calling a foreign function must be done through a Rust function with the
|
|
`#[fixed_stack_segment]` attribute.
|
|
* The `externfn!` macro can be used to declare both a foreign function and
|
|
a `#[fixed_stack_segment]` wrapper at once.
|
|
* `pub` and `priv` modifiers on `extern` blocks are no longer parsed.
|
|
* `unsafe` is no longer allowed on extern fns - they are all unsafe.
|
|
* `priv` is disallowed everywhere except for struct fields and enum variants.
|
|
* `&T` (besides `&'static T`) is no longer allowed in `@T`.
|
|
* `ref` bindings in irrefutable patterns work correctly now.
|
|
* `char` is now prevented from containing invalid code points.
|
|
* Casting to `bool` is no longer allowed.
|
|
* `\0` is now accepted as an escape in chars and strings.
|
|
* `yield` is a reserved keyword.
|
|
* `typeof` is a reserved keyword.
|
|
* Crates may be imported by URL with `extern mod foo = "url";`.
|
|
* Explicit enum discriminants may be given as uints as in `enum E { V = 0u }`
|
|
* Static vectors can be initialized with repeating elements,
|
|
e.g. `static foo: [u8, .. 100]: [0, .. 100];`.
|
|
* Static structs can be initialized with functional record update,
|
|
e.g. `static foo: Foo = Foo { a: 5, .. bar };`.
|
|
* `cfg!` can be used to conditionally execute code based on the crate
|
|
configuration, similarly to `#[cfg(...)]`.
|
|
* The `unnecessary_qualification` lint detects unneeded module
|
|
prefixes (default: allow).
|
|
* Arithmetic operations have been implemented on the SIMD types in
|
|
`std::unstable::simd`.
|
|
* Exchange allocation headers were removed, reducing memory usage.
|
|
* `format!` implements a completely new, extensible, and higher-performance
|
|
string formatting system. It will replace `fmt!`.
|
|
* `print!` and `println!` write formatted strings (using the `format!`
|
|
extension) to stdout.
|
|
* `write!` and `writeln!` write formatted strings (using the `format!`
|
|
extension) to the new Writers in `std::rt::io`.
|
|
* The library section in which a function or static is placed may
|
|
be specified with `#[link_section = "..."]`.
|
|
* The `proto!` syntax extension for defining bounded message protocols
|
|
was removed.
|
|
* `macro_rules!` is hygienic for `let` declarations.
|
|
* The `#[export_name]` attribute specifies the name of a symbol.
|
|
* `unreachable!` can be used to indicate unreachable code, and fails
|
|
if executed.
|
|
|
|
* Libraries
|
|
* std: Transitioned to the new runtime, written in Rust.
|
|
* std: Added an experimental I/O library, `rt::io`, based on the new
|
|
runtime.
|
|
* std: A new generic `range` function was added to the prelude, replacing
|
|
`uint::range` and friends.
|
|
* std: `range_rev` no longer exists. Since range is an iterator it can be
|
|
reversed with `range(lo, hi).invert()`.
|
|
* std: The `chain` method on option renamed to `and_then`; `unwrap_or_default`
|
|
renamed to `unwrap_or`.
|
|
* std: The `iterator` module was renamed to `iter`.
|
|
* std: Integral types now support the `checked_add`, `checked_sub`, and
|
|
`checked_mul` operations for detecting overflow.
|
|
* std: Many methods in `str`, `vec`, `option, `result` were renamed for
|
|
consistency.
|
|
* std: Methods are standardizing on conventions for casting methods:
|
|
`to_foo` for copying, `into_foo` for moving, `as_foo` for temporary
|
|
and cheap casts.
|
|
* std: The `CString` type in `c_str` provides new ways to convert to and
|
|
from C strings.
|
|
* std: `DoubleEndedIterator` can yield elements in two directions.
|
|
* std: The `mut_split` method on vectors partitions an `&mut [T]` into
|
|
two splices.
|
|
* std: `str::from_bytes` renamed to `str::from_utf8`.
|
|
* std: `pop_opt` and `shift_opt` methods added to vectors.
|
|
* std: The task-local data interface no longer uses @, and keys are
|
|
no longer function pointers.
|
|
* std: The `swap_unwrap` method of `Option` renamed to `take_unwrap`.
|
|
* std: Added `SharedPort` to `comm`.
|
|
* std: `Eq` has a default method for `ne`; only `eq` is required
|
|
in implementations.
|
|
* std: `Ord` has default methods for `le`, `gt` and `ge`; only `lt`
|
|
is required in implementations.
|
|
* std: `is_utf8` performance is improved, impacting many string functions.
|
|
* std: `os::MemoryMap` provides cross-platform mmap.
|
|
* std: `ptr::offset` is now unsafe, but also more optimized. Offsets that
|
|
are not 'in-bounds' are considered undefined.
|
|
* std: Many freestanding functions in `vec` removed in favor of methods.
|
|
* std: Many freestanding functions on scalar types removed in favor of
|
|
methods.
|
|
* std: Many options to task builders were removed since they don't make
|
|
sense in the new scheduler design.
|
|
* std: More containers implement `FromIterator` so can be created by the
|
|
`collect` method.
|
|
* std: More complete atomic types in `unstable::atomics`.
|
|
* std: `comm::PortSet` removed.
|
|
* std: Mutating methods in the `Set` and `Map` traits have been moved into
|
|
the `MutableSet` and `MutableMap` traits. `Container::is_empty`,
|
|
`Map::contains_key`, `MutableMap::insert`, and `MutableMap::remove` have
|
|
default implementations.
|
|
* std: Various `from_str` functions were removed in favor of a generic
|
|
`from_str` which is available in the prelude.
|
|
* std: `util::unreachable` removed in favor of the `unreachable!` macro.
|
|
* extra: `dlist`, the doubly-linked list was modernized.
|
|
* extra: Added a `hex` module with `ToHex` and `FromHex` traits.
|
|
* extra: Added `glob` module, replacing `std::os::glob`.
|
|
* extra: `rope` was removed.
|
|
* extra: `deque` was renamed to `ringbuf`. `RingBuf` implements `Deque`.
|
|
* extra: `net`, and `timer` were removed. The experimental replacements
|
|
are `std::rt::io::net` and `std::rt::io::timer`.
|
|
* extra: Iterators implemented for `SmallIntMap`.
|
|
* extra: Iterators implemented for `Bitv` and `BitvSet`.
|
|
* extra: `SmallIntSet` removed. Use `BitvSet`.
|

|
|
* extra: `par` module removed.
|
|
* extra: `future` was cleaned up, with some method renames.
|
|
* extra: Most free functions in `getopts` were converted to methods.
|
|
|
|
* Other
|
|
* rustc's debug info generation (`-Z debug-info`) is greatly improved.
|
|
* rustc accepts `--target-cpu` to compile to a specific CPU architecture,
|
|
similarly to gcc's `--march` flag.
|
|
* rustc's performance compiling small crates is much better.
|
|
* rustpkg has received many improvements.
|
|
* rustpkg supports git tags as package IDs.
|
|
* rustpkg builds into target-specific directories so it can be used for
|
|
cross-compiling.
|
|
* The number of concurrent test tasks is controlled by the environment
|
|
variable RUST_TEST_TASKS.
|
|
* The test harness can now report metrics for benchmarks.
|
|
* All tools have man pages.
|
|
* Programs compiled with `--test` now support the `-h` and `--help` flags.
|
|
* The runtime uses jemalloc for allocations.
|
|
* Segmented stacks are temporarily disabled as part of the transition to
|
|
the new runtime. Stack overflows are possible!
|
|
* A new documentation backend, rustdoc_ng, is available for use. It is
|
|
still invoked through the normal `rustdoc` command.

* Overloadable compound operators (`+=`, etc.) have been temporarily
|
|
removed due to bugs.

|
|
* Syntax changes
|
|
* The self type parameter in traits is now spelled `Self`
|
|
* The `self` parameter in trait and impl methods must now be explicitly
|
|
named (for example: `fn f(&self) { }`). Implicit self is deprecated.

|
|
are distinguished by the lack of a `self` parameter
|
|
* Replaced the `Durable` trait with the `'static` lifetime
|
|
* The old closure type syntax with the trailing sigil has been
|
|
removed in favor of the more consistent leading sigil
|
|
* `super` is a keyword, and may be prefixed to paths
|
|
* Trait bounds are separated with `+` instead of whitespace
|
|
* Traits are implemented with `impl Trait for Type`
|
|
instead of `impl Type: Trait`

* Lifetime syntax is now `&'l foo` instead of `&l/foo`
|
|
* The `export` keyword has finally been removed
|
|
* The `move` keyword has been removed (see "Semantic changes")
|
|
* The interior mutability qualifier on vectors, `[mut T]`, has been
|
|
removed. Use `&mut [T]`, etc.
|
|
* `mut` is no longer valid in `~mut T`. Use inherited mutability
