Version 1.0.0-beta (April 2015)
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
Version 1.0.0 (May 2015)
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
* ~1100 changes, numerous bugfixes
|
||||
Highlights
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* 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].
|
||||
|
||||
* The big news is that the vast majority of the standard library
|
||||
is now `#[stable]` -- 75% of the non-deprecated API surface at
|
||||
last count. Numerous crates are now running on stable
|
||||
Rust. Starting with this release, it is not possible to use
|
||||
unstable features on a stable build.
|
||||
* Arithmetic on basic integer types now
|
||||
[checks for overflow in debug builds][overflow].
|
||||
Language
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* Language
|
||||
* Several [restrictions have been added to trait coherence][coh] in
|
||||
order to make it easier for upstream authors to change traits
|
||||
without breaking downsteam 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], eleminating 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* [`Send` no longer implies `'static`][send-rfc], which made
|
||||
possible the [`thread::scoped` API][scoped]. Scoped threads can
|
||||
borrow data from their parent's stack frame -- safely!
|
||||
* [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.
|
||||
* Trait coherence was [revised again][fundamental], this time with
|
||||
an eye toward API evolution over time.
|
||||
Libraries
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* The new path and IO modules are complete and `#[stable]`. This
|
||||
was the major library focus for this cycle.

|
||||
* The new [string pattern API][string-pattern] landed, which makes
|
||||
the string slice API much more internally consistent and flexible.
|
||||
* A shiny [framework for Debug implementations][debug-builder] landed.
|
||||
This makes it possible to opt in to "pretty-printed" debugging output.
|
||||
* 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.

`Copy` data is known to be `Clone` as well.
|
||||
Misc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
* Infrastructure
|
||||
* 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].
