+Version 1.48.0 (2020-11-19)
+==========================
+
+Language
+--------
+
+- [The `unsafe` keyword is now syntactically permitted on modules.][75857] This
+  is still rejected *semantically*, but can now be parsed by procedural macros.
+
+Compiler
+--------
+- [Stabilised the `-C link-self-contained=<yes|no>` compiler flag.][76158] This tells
+  `rustc` whether to link its own C runtime and libraries or to rely on a external 
+  linker to find them. (Supported only on `windows-gnu`, `linux-musl`, and `wasi` platforms.)
+- [You can now use `-C target-feature=+crt-static` on `linux-gnu` targets.][77386]
+  Note: If you're using cargo you must explicitly pass the `--target` flag.
+- [Added tier 2\* support for `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl`.][76420]
+
+\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][forge-platform-support] for more
+information on Rust's tiered platform support.
+
+Libraries
+---------
+- [`io::Write` is now implemented for `&ChildStdin` `&Sink`, `&Stdout`,
+  and `&Stderr`.][76275]
+- [All arrays of any length now implement `TryFrom<Vec<T>>`.][76310]
+- [The `matches!` macro now supports having a trailing comma.][74880]
+- [`Vec<A>` now implements `PartialEq<[B]>` where `A: PartialEq<B>`.][74194]
+- [The `RefCell::{replace, replace_with, clone}` methods now all use `#[track_caller]`.][77055]
+
+Stabilized APIs
+---------------
+- [`slice::as_ptr_range`]
+- [`slice::as_mut_ptr_range`]
+- [`VecDeque::make_contiguous`]
+- [`future::pending`]
+- [`future::ready`]
+
+The following previously stable methods are now `const fn`'s:
+
+- [`Option::is_some`]
+- [`Option::is_none`]
+- [`Option::as_ref`]
+- [`Result::is_ok`]
+- [`Result::is_err`]
+- [`Result::as_ref`]
+- [`Ordering::reverse`]
+- [`Ordering::then`]
+
+Cargo
+-----
+
+Rustdoc
+-------
+- [You can now link to items in `rustdoc` using the intra-doc link
+  syntax.][74430] E.g. ``/// Uses [`std::future`]`` will automatically generate
+  a link to `std::future`'s documentation. See ["Linking to items by
+  name"][intradoc-links] for more information.
+- [You can now specify `#[doc(alias = "<alias>")]` on items to add search aliases
+  when searching through `rustdoc`'s UI.][75740]
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+- [Promotion of references to `'static` lifetime inside `const fn` now follows the
+  same rules as inside a `fn` body.][75502] In particular, `&foo()` will not be
+  promoted to `'static` lifetime any more inside `const fn`s.
+- [Associated type bindings on trait objects are now verified to meet the bounds
+  declared on the trait when checking that they implement the trait.][27675]
+- [When trait bounds on associated types or opaque types are ambiguous, the
+  compiler no longer makes an arbitrary choice on which bound to use.][54121]
+- [Fixed recursive nonterminals not being expanded in macros during
+  pretty-print/reparse check.][77153] This may cause errors if your macro wasn't
+  correctly handling recursive nonterminal tokens.
+- [`&mut` references to non zero-sized types are no longer promoted.][75585]
+- [`rustc` will now warn if you use attributes like `#[link_name]` or `#[cold]`
+  in places where they have no effect.][73461]
+- [Updated `_mm256_extract_epi8` and `_mm256_extract_epi16` signatures in
+  `arch::{x86, x86_64}` to return `i32` to match the vendor signatures.][73166]
+- [`mem::uninitialized` will now panic if any inner types inside a struct or enum
+  disallow zero-initialization.][71274]
+- [`#[target_feature]` will now error if used in a place where it has no effect.][78143]
+- [Foreign exceptions are now caught by `catch_unwind` and will cause an abort.][70212]
+  Note: This behaviour is not guaranteed and is still considered undefined behaviour,
+  see the [`catch_unwind`] documentation for further information.
+
+
+
+Internal Only
+-------------
+These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
+improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
+related tools.
+
+- [Building `rustc` from source now uses `ninja` by default over `make`.][74922]
+  You can continue building with `make` by setting `ninja=false` in
+  your `config.toml`.
+- [cg_llvm: `fewer_names` in `uncached_llvm_type`][76030]
+- [Made `ensure_sufficient_stack()` non-generic][76680]
