+Version 1.50.0 (2021-02-11)
+============================
+
+Language
+-----------------------
+- [You can now use `const` values for `x` in `[x; N]` array expressions.][79270]
+  This has been technically possible since 1.38.0, as it was unintentionally stabilized.
+- [Assignments to `ManuallyDrop<T>` union fields are now considered safe.][78068]
+
+Compiler
+-----------------------
+- [Added tier 3\* support for the `armv5te-unknown-linux-uclibceabi` target.][78142]
+- [Added tier 3 support for the `aarch64-apple-ios-macabi` target.][77484]
+- [The `x86_64-unknown-freebsd` is now built with the full toolset.][79484]
+
+\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][forge-platform-support] for more
+information on Rust's tiered platform support.
+
+Libraries
+-----------------------
+
+- [`proc_macro::Punct` now implements `PartialEq<char>`.][78636]
+- [`ops::{Index, IndexMut}` are now implemented for fixed sized arrays of any length.][74989]
+- [On Unix platforms, the `std::fs::File` type now has a "niche" of `-1`.][74699]
+  This value cannot be a valid file descriptor, and now means `Option<File>` takes
+  up the same amount of space as `File`.
+
+Stabilized APIs
+---------------
+
+- [`bool::then`]
+- [`btree_map::Entry::or_insert_with_key`]
+- [`f32::clamp`]
+- [`f64::clamp`]
+- [`hash_map::Entry::or_insert_with_key`]
+- [`Ord::clamp`]
+- [`RefCell::take`]
+- [`slice::fill`]
+- [`UnsafeCell::get_mut`]
+
+The following previously stable methods are now `const`.
+
+- [`IpAddr::is_ipv4`]
+- [`IpAddr::is_ipv6`]
+- [`Layout::size`]
+- [`Layout::align`]
+- [`Layout::from_size_align`]
+- `pow` for all integer types.
+- `checked_pow` for all integer types.
+- `saturating_pow` for all integer types.
+- `wrapping_pow` for all integer types.
+- `next_power_of_two` for all unsigned integer types.
+- `checked_power_of_two` for all unsigned integer types.
+
+Cargo
+-----------------------
+
+- [Added the `[build.rustc-workspace-wrapper]` option.][cargo/8976]
+  This option sets a wrapper to execute instead of `rustc`, for workspace members only.
+- [`cargo:rerun-if-changed` will now, if provided a directory, scan the entire
+  contents of that directory for changes.][cargo/8973]
+- [Added the `--workspace` flag to the `cargo update` command.][cargo/8725]
+
+Misc
+----
+
+- [The search results tab and the help button are focusable with keyboard in rustdoc.][79896]
+- [Running tests will now print the total time taken to execute.][75752]
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+
+- [The `compare_and_swap` method on atomics has been deprecated.][79261] It's
+  recommended to use the `compare_exchange` and `compare_exchange_weak` methods instead.
+- [Changes in how `TokenStream`s are checked have fixed some cases where you could write
+  unhygenic `macro_rules!` macros.][79472]
+- [`#![test]` as an inner attribute is now considered unstable like other inner macro
+  attributes, and reports an error by default through the `soft_unstable` lint.][79003]
+- [Overriding a `forbid` lint at the same level that it was set is now a hard error.][78864]
+- [Dropped support for all cloudabi targets.][78439]
+- [You can no longer intercept `panic!` calls by supplying your own macro.][78343] It's
+  recommended to use the `#[panic_handler]` attribute to provide your own implementation.
+- [Semi-colons after item statements (e.g. `struct Foo {};`) now produce a warning.][78296]
