+===========================
+
+Language
+--------
+- [make `const_err` show up in future breakage reports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97743/)
+- [allow unions with mutable references and tuples of allowed types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97995/)
+- It is now considered valid to deallocate memory pointed to by a shared reference `&T` [if every byte in `T` is inside an `UnsafeCell`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98017/)
+- Unused tuple struct fields are now warned against in an allow-by-default lint, [`unused_tuple_struct_fields`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95977/), similar to the existing warning for unused struct fields. This lint will become warn-by-default in the future.

+
+Cargo
+-----
+- Packages can now inherit settings from the workspace so that the settings
+  can be centralized in one place. See
+  [`workspace.package`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-workspacepackage-table)
+  and
+  [`workspace.dependencies`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-workspacedependencies-table)
+  for more details on how to define these common settings.
+  [#10859](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10859)
+- Cargo commands can now accept multiple `--target` flags to build for
+  multiple targets at once, and the
+  [`build.target`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/config.html#buildtarget)
+  config option may now take an array of multiple targets.
+  [#10766](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10766)
+- The `--jobs` argument can now take a negative number to count backwards from
+  the max CPUs.
+  [#10844](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10844)
+- `cargo add` will now update `Cargo.lock`.
+  [#10902](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10902)
+- Added the
+  [`--crate-type`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/commands/cargo-rustc.html#option-cargo-rustc---crate-type)
+  flag to `cargo rustc` to override the crate type.
+  [#10838](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10838)
+- Significantly improved the performance fetching git dependencies from GitHub
+  when using a hash in the `rev` field.
+  [#10079](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10079)
+
+Misc
+----
+- [Let rust-analyzer ship on stable, non-preview](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98640/)
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+- The minimum required versions for all `-linux-gnu` targets are now at least kernel 3.2 and glibc 2.17, for targets that previously supported older versions: [Increase the minimum linux-gnu versions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95026/)
+- [Implement network primitives with ideal Rust layout, not C system layout](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78802/)
+- [Add assertion that `transmute_copy`'s U is not larger than T](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98839/)
+- [A soundness bug in `BTreeMap` was fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99413/) that allowed data it was borrowing to be dropped before the container.
+- [The Drop behavior of C-like enums cast to ints has changed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96862/). These are already discouraged by a compiler warning.
+- [Relate late-bound closure lifetimes to parent fn in NLL](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98835/)
+- [Errors at const-eval time are now in future incompatibility reports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97743/)
+- On the `thumbv6m-none-eabi` target, some incorrect `asm!` statements were erroneously accepted if they used the high registers (r8 to r14) as an input/output operand. [This is no longer accepted](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99155/).
+- [`impl Trait` was accidentally accepted as the associated type value of return-position `impl Trait`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97346/), without fulfilling all the trait bounds of that associated type, as long as the hidden type satisfies said bounds. This has been fixed.
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
+significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
+tools.
+
+- Windows builds now use profile-guided optimization, providing 10-20% improvements to compiler performance: [Utilize PGO for windows x64 rustc dist builds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96978/)
+- [Stop keeping metadata in memory before writing it to disk](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96544/)
+- [compiletest: strip debuginfo by default for mode=ui](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98140/)
+- Many improvements to generated code for derives, including performance improvements:
+  - [Don't use match-destructuring for derived ops on structs.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98446/)
+  - [Many small deriving cleanups](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98741/)
+  - [More derive output improvements](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98758/)
+  - [Clarify deriving code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98915/)
+  - [Final derive output improvements](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99046/)
+  - [Stop injecting `#[allow(unused_qualifications)]` in generated `derive` implementations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99485/)
+  - [Improve `derive(Debug)`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98190/)
+- [Bump to clap 3](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98213/)
+- [fully move dropck to mir](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98641/)
+- [Optimize `Vec::insert` for the case where `index == len`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98755/)
+- [Convert rust-analyzer to an in-tree tool](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99603/)
