Rust 1.87.0

Language

• Stabilize asm_goto feature
• Allow parsing open beginning ranges (..EXPR) after unary operators !, -, and *.
• Don't require method impls for methods with Self: Sized bounds in impls for unsized types
• Stabilize feature(precise_capturing_in_traits) allowing use<...> bounds on return position impl Trait in traits

Compiler

• x86: make SSE2 required for i686 targets and use it to pass SIMD types

Platform Support

• Remove i586-pc-windows-msvc target

Refer to Rust's platform support page for more information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries

• Stabilize the anonymous pipe API
• Add support for unbounded left/right shift operations
• Print pointer metadata in Debug impl of raw pointers
• Vec::with_capacity guarantees it allocates with the amount requested, even if Vec::capacity returns a different number.
• Most std::arch intrinsics which don't take pointer arguments can now be called from safe code if the caller has the appropriate target features already enabled (rust-lang/stdarch#1714, rust-lang/stdarch#1716, rust-lang/stdarch#1717)
• Undeprecate env::home_dir
• Denote ControlFlow as #[must_use]
• Macros such as assert_eq! and vec! now support const {...} expressions

Cargo

• Add terminal integration via ANSI OSC 9;4 sequences
• chore: bump openssl to v3
• feat(package): add --exclude-lockfile flag

Compatibility Notes

• Rust now raises an error for macro invocations inside the #![crate_name] attribute
• Unstable fields are now always considered to be inhabited
• Macro arguments of unary operators followed by open beginning ranges may now be matched differently
• Make Debug impl of raw pointers print metadata if present
• Warn against function pointers using unsupported ABI strings in dependencies
• Associated types on dyn types are no longer deduplicated
• Forbid attributes on .. inside of struct patterns (let Struct { #[attribute] .. }) =
• Make ptr_cast_add_auto_to_object lint into hard error
• Many std::arch intrinsics are now safe to call in some contexts, there may now be new unused_unsafe warnings in existing codebases.
• Limit width and precision formatting options to 16 bits on all targets
• Turn order dependent trait objects future incompat warning into a hard error
• Denote ControlFlow as #[must_use]
• Windows: The standard library no longer links advapi32, except on win7. Code such as C libraries that were relying on this assumption may need to explicitly link advapi32.
• Proc macros can no longer observe expanded cfg(true) attributes.
• Start changing the internal representation of pasted tokens. Certain invalid declarative macros that were previously accepted in obscure circumstances are now correctly rejected by the compiler. Use of a tt fragment specifier can often fix these macros.
• Don't allow flattened format_args in const.

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.
