- [`Vec::with_capacity` guarantees it allocates with the amount requested, even if `Vec::capacity` returns a different number.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135933)
- Most `std::arch` intrinsics which don't take pointer arguments can now be called from safe code if the caller has the appropriate target features already enabled (https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1714, https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1716, https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1717)

- [Rust now raises an error for macro invocations inside the `#![crate_name]` attribute](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127581)
- [Unstable fields are now always considered to be inhabited](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133889)
- [Macro arguments of unary operators followed by open beginning ranges may now be matched differently](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134900)
- [Make `Debug` impl of raw pointers print metadata if present](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135080)
- [Warn against function pointers using unsupported ABI strings in dependencies](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135767)
- [Associated types on `dyn` types are no longer deduplicated](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/136458)
- [Forbid attributes on `..` inside of struct patterns (`let Struct { #[attribute] .. }) =`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/136490)
- [Make `ptr_cast_add_auto_to_object` lint into hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/136764)
- Many `std::arch` intrinsics are now safe to call in some contexts, there may now be new `unused_unsafe` warnings in existing codebases.
- [Limit `width` and `precision` formatting options to 16 bits on all targets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/136932)
- [Turn order dependent trait objects future incompat warning into a hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/136968)
- [Denote `ControlFlow` as `#[must_use]`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/137449)
- [Windows: The standard library no longer links `advapi32`, except on win7.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138233) Code such as C libraries that were relying on this assumption may need to explicitly link advapi32.
- [Proc macros can no longer observe expanded `cfg(true)` attributes.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138844)
- [Start changing the internal representation of pasted tokens](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124141). Certain invalid declarative macros that were previously accepted in obscure circumstances are now correctly rejected by the compiler. Use of a `tt` fragment specifier can often fix these macros.
- [Don't allow flattened format_args in const.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139624)
