Version 1.68.2 (2023-03-28)

• 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

Version 1.68.1 (2023-03-23)

• 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

Version 1.68.0 (2023-03-09)

Language

• Stabilize default_alloc_error_handler This allows usage of alloc on stable without requiring the definition of a handler for allocation failure. Defining custom handlers is still unstable.
• Stabilize efiapi calling convention.
• Remove implicit promotion for types with drop glue

Compiler

• Change bindings_with_variant_name to deny-by-default
• Allow .. to be parsed as let initializer
• Add armv7-sony-vita-newlibeabihf as a tier 3 target
• Always check alignment during compile-time const evaluation
• Disable "split dwarf inlining" by default.
• Add vendor to Fuchsia's target triple
• Enable sanitizers for s390x-linux

Libraries

• Loosen the bound on the Debug implementation of Weak.
• Make std::task::Context !Send and !Sync
• PhantomData layout guarantees
• Don't derive Debug for OnceWith & RepeatWith
• Implement DerefMut for PathBuf
• Add O(1) Vec -> VecDeque conversion guarantee
• Leak amplification for peek_mut() to ensure BinaryHeap's invariant is always met

Stabilized APIs

• {core,std}::pin::pin!
• impl From<bool> for {f32,f64}
• std::path::MAIN_SEPARATOR_STR
• impl DerefMut for PathBuf

These APIs are now stable in const contexts:

• VecDeque::new

Cargo

• Stabilize sparse registry support for crates.io
• cargo build --verbose tells you more about why it recompiles.
• Show progress of crates.io index update even net.git-fetch-with-cli option enabled

Misc

Compatibility Notes

• Only support Android NDK 25 or newer
• Add SEMICOLON_IN_EXPRESSIONS_FROM_MACROS to future-incompat report
• 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

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.

• Encode spans relative to the enclosing item
• Don't normalize in AstConv
• Find the right lower bound region in the scenario of partial order relations
• Fix impl block in const expr
• Check ADT fields for copy implementations considering regions
• rustdoc: simplify JS search routine by not messing with lev distance
• Enable ThinLTO for rustc on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
• Enable ThinLTO for rustc on x86_64-apple-darwin
