Version 1.12.0 (2016-09-29)
2+
===========================
3+
4+
Highlights
5+
----------
6+
7+
* [`rustc` translates code to LLVM IR via its own "middle" IR (MIR)]
8+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34096).
9+
This translation pass is far simpler than the previous AST->LLVM pass, and
10+
creates opportunities to perform new optimizations directly on the MIR. It
11+
was previously described [on the Rust blog]
12+
(https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
13+
* [`rustc` presents a new, more readable error format, along with
14+
machine-readable JSON error output for use by IDEs]
15+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35401).
16+
Most common editors supporting Rust have been updated to work with it. It was
17+
previously described [on the Rust blog]
18+
(https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/08/10/Shape-of-errors-to-come.html).

28+
(https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
29+
* [Print the Rust target name, not the LLVM target name, with
30+
`--print-target-list`]
31+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35489)
32+
* [The computation of `TypeId` is correct in some cases where it was previously
33+
producing inconsistent results]
34+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35267)
35+
* [The `mips-unknown-linux-gnu` target uses hardware floating point by default]
36+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34910)
37+
* [The `rustc` arguments, `--print target-cpus`, `--print target-features`,
38+
`--print relocation-models`, and `--print code-models` print the available
39+
options to the `-C target-cpu`, `-C target-feature`, `-C relocation-model` and
40+
`-C code-model` code generation arguments]
41+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34845)
42+
* [`rustc` supports three new MUSL targets on ARM: `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`,
43+
`arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`, and `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf`]
44+
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35060).
45+
These targets produce statically-linked binaries. There are no binary release
46+
builds yet though.
