- Language updates
* Lifetimes in statics and consts default to `'static`. [RFC 1623]
* [The compiler's `dead_code` lint now accounts for type aliases][38051].
* [Uninhabitable enums (those without any variants) no longer permit wildcard
match patterns][38069]
* [Clean up semantics of `self` in an import list][38313]
* [`Self` may appear in `impl` headers][38920]
* [`Self` may appear in struct expressions][39282]
- Compiler updates
* [`rustc` now supports `--emit=metadata`, which causes rustc to emit
a `.rmeta` file containing only crate metadata][38571]. This can be
used by tools like the Rust Language Service to perform
metadata-only builds.
* [Levenshtein based typo suggestions now work in most places, while
previously they worked only for fields and sometimes for local
variables][38927]. Together with the overhaul of "no
resolution"/"unexpected resolution" errors (#[38154]) they result in
large and systematic improvement in resolution diagnostics.
* [Fix `transmute::<T, U>` where `T` requires a bigger alignment than
`U`][38670]
* [rustc: use -Xlinker when specifying an rpath with ',' in it][38798]
* [`rustc` no longer attempts to provide "consider using an explicit
lifetime" suggestions][37057]. They were inaccurate.
- Stabilized APIs
* [`VecDeque::truncate`]
* [`VecDeque::resize`]
* [`String::insert_str`]
* [`Duration::checked_add`]

- Language updates
* Basic procedural macros allowing custom `#[derive]`, aka "macros 1.1", are
stable. This allows popular code-generating crates like Serde and Diesel to
work ergonomically. [RFC 1681].
* [Tuple structs may be empty. Unary and empty tuple structs may be instantiated
with curly braces][36868]. Part of [RFC 1506].
* [A number of minor changes to name resolution have been activated][37127].
They add up to more consistent semantics, allowing for future evolution of
Rust macros. Specified in [RFC 1560], see its section on ["changes"] for
details of what is different. The breaking changes here have been transitioned
through the [`legacy_imports`] lint since 1.14, with no known regressions.
* [In `macro_rules`, `path` fragments can now be parsed as type parameter
bounds][38279]
* [`?Sized` can be used in `where` clauses][37791]
* [There is now a limit on the size of monomorphized types and it can be
modified with the `#![type_size_limit]` crate attribute, similarly to
the `#![recursion_limit]` attribute][37789]
- Compiler changes
* [On Windows, the compiler will apply dllimport attributes when linking to
extern functions][37973]. Additional attributes and flags can control which
library kind is linked and its name. [RFC 1717].
* [Rust-ABI symbols are no longer exported from cdylibs][38117]
* [The `--test` flag works with procedural macro crates][38107]
* [Fix `extern "aapcs" fn` ABI][37814]
* [The `-C no-stack-check` flag is deprecated][37636]. It does nothing.
* [The `format!` expander recognizes incorrect `printf` and shell-style
formatting directives and suggests the correct format][37613].
* [Only report one error for all unused imports in an import list][37456]
