Released on March 29, 2012
What's Changed
- >1500 changes, numerous bugfixes
- New docs and doc tooling
- New port: FreeBSD x86_64
- Compilation model enhancements
- Generics now specialized, multiply instantiated
- Functions now inlined across separate crates
- Scheduling, stack and threading fixes
- Noticeably improved message-passing performance
- Explicit schedulers
- Callbacks from C
- Helgrind clean
- Experimental new language features
- Operator overloading
- Region pointers
- Classes
- Various language extensions
- C-callback function types: 'crust fn ...'
- Infinite-loop construct: 'loop { ... }'
- Shorten 'mutable' to 'mut'
- Required mutable-local qualifier: 'let mut ...'
- Basic glob-exporting: 'export foo::*;'
- Alt now exhaustive, 'alt check' for runtime-checked
- Block-function form of 'for' loop, with 'break' and 'ret'.
- New library code
- AST quasi-quote syntax extension
- Revived libuv interface
- New modules: core::{future, iter}, std::arena
- Merged per-platform std::{os, fs} to core::{libc, os}
- Extensive cleanup, regularization in libstd, libcore
