+Version 1.26.0 (2018-05-10)
+==========================
+
+Language
+--------
+- [Closures now implement `Copy` and/or `Clone` if all captured variables
+  implement either or both traits.][49299]
+- [The inclusive range syntax e.g. `for x in 0..=10` is now stable.][47813]
+- [Stablise `'_`. The underscore lifetime can be used anywhere where a
+  lifetime can be elided.][49458]
+- [`impl Trait` is now stable allowing you to have abstract types in returns
+   or in function parameters.][49255] e.g. `fn foo() -> impl Iterator<Item=u8>` or
+  `fn open(path: impl AsRef<Path>)`.
+- [Pattern matching will now automatically apply dereferences.][49394]
+- [128-bit integers in the form of `u128` and `i128` are now stable.][49101]
+- [`main` can now return `Result<(), E: Debug>`][49162] in addition to `()`.
+- [A lot of operations are now available in a const context.][46882] E.g. You
+  can now index into constant arrays, reference and dereference into constants,
+  and use Tuple struct constructors.
+- [Fixed entry slice patterns are now stable.][48516] e.g.
+  ```rust
+  let points = [1, 2, 3, 4];
+  match points {
+      [1, 2, 3, 4] => println!("All points were sequential."),
+      _ => println!("Not all points were sequential."),
+  }
+  ```
+
+
+Compiler
+--------
+- [LLD is now used as the default linker for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.][48125]
+- [Fixed exponential projection complexity on nested types.][48296]
+  This can provide up to a ~12% reduction in compile times for certain crates.
+- [Added the `--remap-path-prefix` option to rustc.][48359] Allowing you
+  to remap path prefixes outputted by the compiler.
+- [Added `powerpc-unknown-netbsd` target.][48281]
+
+Libraries
+---------
+- [Implemented `From<u16> for usize` & `From<{u8, i16}> for isize`.][49305]
+- [Added hexadecimal formatting for integers with fmt::Debug][48978]
+  e.g. `assert!(format!("{:02x?}", b"Foo\0") == "[46, 6f, 6f, 00]")`
+- [Implemented `Default, Hash` for `cmp::Reverse`.][48628]
+- [Optimized `str::repeat` being 8x faster in large cases.][48657]
+- [`ascii::escape_default` is now available in libcore.][48735]
+- [Trailing commas are now supported in std and core macros.][48056]
+- [Implemented `Copy, Clone` for `cmp::Reverse`][47379]
+- [Implemented `Clone` for `char::{ToLowercase, ToUppercase}`.][48629]

+Cargo
+-----
+- [Cargo will now output path to custom commands when `-v` is
+  passed with `--list`][cargo/5041]
+- [The Cargo binary version is now the same as the Rust version][cargo/5083]
+- [`Cargo.lock` files are now included in published crates.][cargo/5093]
+
+Misc
+----
+- [The second edition of "The Rust Programming Language" book is now recommended
+  over the first.][48404]
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+
+- [aliasing a `Fn` trait as `dyn` no longer works.][48481] E.g. the following
+  syntax is now invalid.
+  ```
+  use std::ops::Fn as dyn;
+  fn g(_: Box<dyn(std::fmt::Debug)>) {}
+  ```
+- [The result of dereferences are no longer promoted to `'static`.][47408]
+  e.g.
+  ```rust
+  fn main() {
+      const PAIR: &(i32, i32) = &(0, 1);
+      let _reversed_pair: &'static _ = &(PAIR.1, PAIR.0); // Doesn't work
+  }
+  ```
+- [Deprecate `AsciiExt` trait in favor of inherent methods.][49109]
+- [`".e0"` will now no longer parse as `0.0` and will instead cause
+  an error.][48235]
+- [Removed hoedown from rustdoc.][48274]
+- [Bounds on higher-kinded lifetimes a hard error.][48326]
