Another important feature of this release, not mentioned in the notes: No major language changes. It's almost all tooling improvements, plus a few library functions getting stablized.
This is great! It makes things more manageable for third-party implementations like mrustc and gcc-rust, for teaching resources that can spend time improving their docs on what's already there instead of documenting new stuff, and for the long-term health of the language itself. Here's for many more releases like this one!

Not sure how much this would matter, given that there are plenty of feature stabilizations and other planned and/or proposed language changes in the pipeline.
