Rollup merge of rust-lang#29416 - brson:relnotes, r=alexcrichton
[Rendered](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/relnotes/RELEASES.md) More highlights would be good. I intend to go through and hyperlink all the APIs still.

Version 1.4.0 (2015-10-29)
2+
============================
3+
4+
* ~1200 changes, numerous bugfixes
5+
6+
Highlights
7+
----------
8+
9+
* Windows builds targeting the 64-bit MSVC ABI and linker (instead of
10+
GNU) are now supported and recommended for use.
11+
12+
Breaking Changes
13+
----------------
14+
15+
* [Several changes have been made to fix type soundness and improve
16+
the behavior of associated types][sound]. See [RFC 1214]. Although
17+
we have mostly introduced these changes as warnings this release, to
18+
become errors next release, there are still some scenarios that will
19+
see immediate breakage.
20+
* [The `str::lines` and `BufRead::lines` iterators treat `\r\n` as
21+
line breaks in addition to `\n`][crlf].
22+
* [Loans of `'static` lifetime extend to the end of a function][stat].
23+
* [`str::parse` no longer introduces avoidable rounding error when
24+
parsing floating point numbers. Together with earlier changes to
25+
float formatting/output, "round trips" like f.to_string().parse()
26+
now preserve the value of f exactly. Additionally, leading plus
27+
signs are now accepted][fp3].
28+
29+
30+
Language
31+
--------
32+
33+
* `use` statements that import multiple items [can now rename
34+
them][i], as in `use foo::{bar as kitten, baz as puppy}`.
35+
* [Binops work correctly on fat pointers][binfat].
36+
* `pub extern crate`, which does not behave as expected, [issues a
37+
warning][pec] until a better solution is found.
38+
39+
Libraries
40+
---------
41+
42+
* [Many APIs were stabilized][stab]: `<Box<str>>::into_string`,
43+
[`Arc::downgrade`], [`Arc::get_mut`], [`Arc::make_mut`],
44+
[`Arc::try_unwrap`], [`Box::from_raw`], [`Box::into_raw`], [`CStr::to_str`],
45+
[`CStr::to_string_lossy`], [`CString::from_raw`], [`CString::into_raw`],
46+
[`IntoRawFd::into_raw_fd`], [`IntoRawFd`],
47+
`IntoRawHandle::into_raw_handle`, `IntoRawHandle`,
48+
`IntoRawSocket::into_raw_socket`, `IntoRawSocket`, [`Rc::downgrade`],
49+
[`Rc::get_mut`], [`Rc::make_mut`], [`Rc::try_unwrap`], [`Result::expect`],
50+
[`String::into_boxed_str`], [`TcpStream::read_timeout`],
51+
[`TcpStream::set_read_timeout`], [`TcpStream::set_write_timeout`],
52+
[`TcpStream::write_timeout`], [`UdpSocket::read_timeout`],
53+
[`UdpSocket::set_read_timeout`], [`UdpSocket::set_write_timeout`],
54+
[`UdpSocket::write_timeout`], `Vec::append`, `Vec::split_off`,
55+
[`VecDeque::append`], [`VecDeque::retain`], [`VecDeque::split_off`],
56+
[`rc::Weak::upgrade`], [`rc::Weak`], [`slice::Iter::as_slice`],
57+
[`slice::IterMut::into_slice`], [`str::CharIndices::as_str`],
58+
[`str::Chars::as_str`], [`str::split_at_mut`], [`str::split_at`],
59+
[`sync::Weak::upgrade`], [`sync::Weak`], [`thread::park_timeout`],
60+
[`thread::sleep`].
61+
* [Some APIs were deprecated][dep]: `BTreeMap::with_b`,
62+
`BTreeSet::with_b`, `Option::as_mut_slice`, `Option::as_slice`,
63+
`Result::as_mut_slice`, `Result::as_slice`, `f32::from_str_radix`,
64+
`f64::from_str_radix`.
65+
* [Reverse-searching strings is faster with the 'two-way'
66+
algorithm][s].
67+
* [`std::io::copy` allows `?Sized` arguments][cc].
68+
* The `Windows`, `Chunks`, and `ChunksMut` iterators over slices all
69+
[override `count`, `nth` and `last` with an O(1)
70+
implementation][it].
71+
* [`Default` is implemented for arrays up to `[T; 32]`][d].
72+
* [`IntoRawFd` has been added to the Unix-specific prelude,
73+
`IntoRawSocket` and `IntoRawHandle` to the Windows-specific
74+
prelude][pr].
75+
* [`Extend<String>` and `FromIterator<String` are both implemented for
76+
`String`][es].
77+
* [`IntoIterator` is implemented for references to `Option` and
78+
`Result`][into2].
79+
* [`HashMap` and `HashSet` implement `Extend<&T>` where `T:
80+
Copy`][ext] as part of [RFC 839]. This will cause type inferance
81+
breakage in rare situations.
82+
* [`BinaryHeap` implements `Debug`][bh2].
83+
* [`Borrow` and `BorrowMut` are implemented for fixed-size
84+
arrays][bm].
85+
* [`extern fn`s with the "Rust" and "C" ABIs implement common
86+
traits including `Eq`, `Ord`, `Debug`, `Hash`][fp].
87+
* [String comparison is faster][faststr].
88+
* `&mut T` where `T: std::fmt::Write` [also implements
89+
`std::fmt::Write`][mutw].
90+
* [A stable regression in `VecDeque::push_back` and other
91+
capicity-altering methods that caused panics for zero-sized types
92+
was fixed][vd].
93+
* [Function pointers implement traits for up to 12 parameters][fp2].
94+
95+
Miscellaneous
96+
-------------
97+
98+
* The compiler [no longer uses the 'morestack' feature to prevent
99+
stack overflow][mm]. Instead it uses guard pages and stack
100+
probes (though stack probes are not yet implemented on any platform
101+
but Windows).
102+
* [The compiler matches traits faster when projections are involved][p].
103+
* The 'improper_ctypes' lint [no longer warns about use of `isize` and
104+
`usize`][ffi].
105+
* [Cargo now displays useful information about what its doing during
106+
`cargo update`][cu].
