- Enabled Non‑Lexical Lifetimes on the 2015 edition and made trait‑object ordering semantics stable, plus numerous APIs (e.g., const fns, VecDeque rotations, IO slices) are now stabilized.
- Replaced the standard HashMap implementation with hashbrown, stabilized the alloc crate for no‑std environments, and extended the dbg! macro to accept and return multiple arguments.
- Added deprecation warning for mem::uninitialized (to be removed in 1.39) and introduced new Cargo features (offline mode, required‑dependency name validation).
