It's more than this. Clone is now implemented for all arrays with T: Clone, all tuples with every member being Clone and all function pointers.

- [`Stdin`, `Stdout`, and `Stderr` now implement `AsRawFd`.][43459]
- [`Rc` and `Arc` now implement `From<&[T]> where T: Clone`, `From<str>`,
`From<String>`, `From<Box<T>> where T: ?Sized`, and `From<Vec<T>>`.][42565]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

Cargo
-----
- [You can now call `cargo install` with multiple package names][cargo/4216]
- [Cargo commands inside a virtual workspace will now implicitly
pass `--all`][cargo/4335]

Misc
----
- [Cargo docs are moving][43916]
to [doc.rust-lang.org/cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo)

We may not want to highlight this just yet as they're still a redirect to doc.crates.io, but soon though!

I didn't think so either, it was marked as relnotes so I included it.

- [The rustdoc book is now available][43863]
at [doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc)

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Remove the trait selection impl in method::probe][43880] This may cause
breakage in subtyping corner cases.

Is there any breakage examples?

BTW "trait selection impl in method::probe" sounds too technical for readers.

It definitely is I just couldn't think of anything better. @arielb1 would you know a better explanation and example?

@Aaronepower: Maybe summarize or just link to #44224 (comment) ?

- [rustc's JSON error output's byte position start at top of file.][42973]
Was previously relative to the rustc's internal `CodeMap` struct which
required the unstable library `libsyntax` to correctly use.
