    Woohoo, that's a release! My personal favorites:

    - Stabilize never type

    - Stabilize custom allocators

    - Introduced minimum publish age configurations, also known as dependency cooldowns. When the relevant config is set, the resolver ignores versions published more recently than that, unless they are already in Cargo.lock. (RFC 3923) docs #17335

    - cargo-install: now uses the existing lockfile in the .crate tarball by default. --locked in cargo install becomes a no-op. #17388

    A monumental release. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on all of these long-term features that are finally landing.

    Nice work... but I still yearn for a stable ABI!

      We have it: unsafe extern "C" { }.

      An actual stable native Rust ABI sounds like a forward compatibility nightmare.

        An actual stable native Rust ABI is a prerequisite for distributing libraries as anything other than source code.

      Follow or contribute to efforts on a minimal crABI:

      Why the yearning for prebuilt Rust libraries? Seems like a nightmare which does not need to happen.

    It would probably be better to wait for the official release blog post for submission to HN, no?

    Awesome timing.

    I just spent last few days fixing arena leaks (Bumpalo doesn't call drop) and had to use allocator-api2 for Vec::new_in which is now available in stable Rust.
