Release notes text
This section should be edited to specify the correct category(s) for the change, with succinct description(s) of what changed. Some things worth considering:
- Does this need an additional compat notes section?
- Was this a libs stabilization that should have additional headers to list new APIs under
Stabilized APIsandConst Stabilized APIs?
# Compiler (or Compatibility?)
- Change "Rust" ABI on x86 to use SSE registers if they are always-available for the current target
[!TIP]
Use the previous releases for inspiration on how to write the release notes text and which categories to pick.
Release blog section
If this change is notable enough for inclusion in the blog post then this section should be edited to contain a draft for the blog post. Otherwise leave it empty.
[!NOTE]
If a blog post section is required the
release-blog-postlabel should be added (@rustbot label +release-blog-post) to this issue as otherwise it may be missed by the release team.
