Rust 1.68.2

• Update the GitHub RSA host key bundled within Cargo. The key was rotated by GitHub on 2023-03-24 after the old one leaked.
• Mark the old GitHub RSA host key as revoked. This will prevent Cargo from accepting the leaked key even when trusted by the system.
• Add support for @revoked and a better error message for @cert-authority in Cargo's SSH host key verification

Rust 1.68.1

• Fix miscompilation in produced Windows MSVC artifacts This was introduced by enabling ThinLTO for the distributed rustc which led to miscompilations in the resulting binary. Currently this is believed to be limited to the -Zdylib-lto flag used for rustc compilation, rather than a general bug in ThinLTO, so only rustc artifacts should be affected.
• Fix --enable-local-rust builds
• Treat $prefix-clang as clang in linker detection code
• Fix panic in compiler code

Rust 1.68.0

Language

Compiler

• Change bindings_with_variant_name to deny-by-default

• impl DerefMut for PathBuf

These APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• VecDeque::new

Cargo

• Only specify --target by default for -Zgcc-ld=lld on wasm
• Bump IMPLIED_BOUNDS_ENTAILMENT to Deny + ReportNow
• std::task::Context no longer implements Send and Sync

Rust 1.67.1

• Fix interoperability with thin archives.
• Fix an internal error in the compiler build process.
• Downgrade clippy::uninlined_format_args to pedantic.

Rust 1.67.0

Language

• Make Sized predicates coinductive, allowing cycles.
• #[must_use] annotations on async fn also affect the Future::Output.
• Elaborate supertrait obligations when deducing closure signatures.
• Invalid literals are no longer an error under cfg(FALSE).
• Unreserve braced enum variants in value namespace.

Compiler

Added, updated, and removed targets:

• Add tier 3 no_std targets for the QNX Neutrino RTOS, aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx710 and x86_64-pc-nto-qnx710.
• Promote UEFI targets to tier 2, aarch64-unknown-uefi, i686-unknown-uefi, and x86_64-unknown-uefi.

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

Libraries

• Merge crossbeam-channel into std::sync::mpsc.
• Fix inconsistent rounding of 0.5 when formatted to 0 decimal places.
• Derive Eq and Hash for ControlFlow.
• Don't build compiler_builtins with -C panic=abort.

Stabilized APIs

• {integer}::checked_ilog

• {integer}::checked_ilog10
• {integer}::ilog
• {integer}::ilog2
• {integer}::ilog10
• NonZeroU*::ilog2

These APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• char::from_u32
• char::from_digit
• char::to_digit
• core::char::from_u32
• core::char::from_digit

Compatibility Notes

• The layout of repr(Rust) types now groups m*2^n-sized fields with equivalently aligned ones. This is intended to be an optimization, but it is also known to increase type sizes in a few cases for the placement of enum tags. As a reminder, the layout of repr(Rust) types is an implementation detail, subject to change.
• 0.5 now rounds to 0 when formatted to 0 decimal places. This makes it consistent with the rest of floating point formatting that rounds ties toward even digits.
• Chains of && and || will now drop temporaries from their sub-expressions in evaluation order, left-to-right. Previously, it was "twisted" such that the first expression dropped its temporaries last, after all of the other expressions dropped in order.
• Underscore suffixes on string literals are now a hard error. This has been a future-compatibility warning since 1.20.0.
• Stop passing -export-dynamic to wasm-ld.
• main is now mangled as __main_void on wasm32-wasi.
• Cargo now emits an error if there are multiple registries in the configuration with the same index URL.

  }

• Allow transmutes between the same type differing only in lifetimes

Compatibility Notes

• Only apply ProceduralMasquerade hack to older versions of rental
• Don't export __heap_base and __data_end on wasm32-wasi.
• Don't export __wasm_init_memory on WebAssembly.
• Only export __tls_* on wasm32-unknown-unknown.
• Don't link to libresolv in libstd on Darwin

• Make order_dependent_trait_objects show up in future-breakage reports

Compiler

• Stabilize -Csplit-debuginfo on Linux

• Normalize struct field types when unsizing
• Update to LLVM 15
• Fix aarch64 call abi to correctly zeroext when needed
• debuginfo: Generalize C++-like encoding for enums
• Add special_module_name lint
• Add support for generating unique profraw files by default when using -C instrument-coverage
• Allow dynamic linking for iOS/tvOS targets

New targets:

Cargo

• Apply GitHub fast path even for partial hashes

• Take priority into account within the pending queue. This slightly optimizes job scheduling by Cargo, with typically small improvements on larger crate graph builds.

Compatibility Notes

• std::layout::Layout size must not overflow isize::MAX when rounded up to align. This also changes the safety conditions on Layout::from_size_align_unchecked.
• PollFn now only implements Unpin if the closure is Unpin. This is a possible breaking change if users were relying on the blanket unpin implementation. See discussion on the PR for details of why this change was made.
• Drop ExactSizeIterator impl from std::char::EscapeAscii This is a backwards-incompatible change to the standard library's surface area, but is unlikely to affect real world usage.
• Do not consider a single repeated lifetime eligible for elision in the return type This behavior was unintentionally changed in 1.64.0, and this release reverts that change by making this an error again.
• Reenable disabled early syntax gates as future-incompatibility lints
• Update the minimum external LLVM to 13
• Don't duplicate file descriptors into stdio fds
• Sunset RLS
• Deny usage of #![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = ...)] to set the crate type This strengthens the forward compatibility lint deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name to deny.
• llvm-has-rust-patches allows setting the build system to treat the LLVM as having Rust-specific patches This option may need to be set for distributions that are building Rust with a patched LLVM via llvm-config, not the built-in LLVM.
• Combining three or more languages (e.g. Objective C, C++ and Rust) into one binary may hit linker limitations when using lld. For more information, see issue 102754.

Internal Changes

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

• Add x.sh and x.ps1 shell scripts
• compiletest: use target cfg instead of hard-coded tables

• core::ffi::FromBytesWithNulError
• alloc::ffi::CString
• alloc::ffi::FromVecWithNulError
• alloc::ffi::IntoStringError
• alloc::ffi::NulError

These types were previously stable in std::os::raw, but are now also available in core::ffi and std::ffi:

• ffi::c_ushort

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

Cargo

• Packages can now inherit settings from the workspace so that the settings can be centralized in one place. See workspace.package and workspace.dependencies for more details on how to define these common settings.
• Cargo commands can now accept multiple --target flags to build for multiple targets at once, and the build.target config option may now take an array of multiple targets.
• The --jobs argument can now take a negative number to count backwards from the max CPUs.
• cargo add will now update Cargo.lock.
• Added the --crate-type flag to cargo rustc to override the crate type.

Misc

Compatibility Notes

• The minimum required versions for all -linux-gnu targets are now at least kernel 3.2 and glibc 2.17, for targets that previously supported older versions: Increase the minimum linux-gnu versions
• Network primitives are now implemented with the ideal Rust layout, not the C system layout. This can cause problems when transmuting the types.
• Add assertion that transmute_copy's U is not larger than T
• A soundness bug in BTreeMap was fixed that allowed data it was borrowing to be dropped before the container.
• The Drop behavior of C-like enums cast to ints has changed. These are already discouraged by a compiler warning.
• Relate late-bound closure lifetimes to parent fn in NLL
• Errors at const-eval time are now in future incompatibility reports
• On the thumbv6m-none-eabi target, some incorrect asm! statements were erroneously accepted if they used the high registers (r8 to r14) as an input/output operand. This is no longer accepted.
• impl Trait was accidentally accepted as the associated type value of return-position impl Trait, without fulfilling all the trait bounds of that associated type, as long as the hidden type satisfies said bounds. This has been fixed.

Internal Changes

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