+Version 1.55.0 (2021-09-09)
+============================
+
+Language
+--------
+- [You can now write open "from" range patterns (`X..`), which will start at `X` and
+  will end at the maximum value of the integer.][83918]
+- [You can now explicitly import the prelude of different editions
+  through `std::prelude` (e.g. `use std::prelude::rust_2021::*;`).][86294]
+
+Compiler
+--------
+- [Added tier 3\* support for `powerpc64le-unknown-freebsd`.][83572]
+
+\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
+   information on Rust's tiered platform support.
+
+Libraries
+---------
+
+- [Updated std's float parsing to use the Eisel-Lemire algorithm.][86761]
+  These improvements should in general provide faster string parsing of floats,
+  no longer reject certain valid floating point values, and reduce
+  the produced code size for non-stripped artifacts.
+- [`string::Drain` now implements `AsRef<str>` and `AsRef<[u8]>`.][86858]
+
+Stabilised APIs
+---------------
+
+- [`Bound::cloned`]
+- [`Drain::as_str`]
+- [`IntoInnerError::into_error`]
+- [`IntoInnerError::into_parts`]
+- [`MaybeUninit::assume_init_mut`]
+- [`MaybeUninit::assume_init_ref`]
+- [`MaybeUninit::write`]
+- [`array::map`]
+- [`ops::ControlFlow`]
+- [`x86::_bittest`]
+- [`x86::_bittestandcomplement`]
+- [`x86::_bittestandreset`]
+- [`x86::_bittestandset`]
+- [`x86_64::_bittest64`]
+- [`x86_64::_bittestandcomplement64`]
+- [`x86_64::_bittestandreset64`]
+- [`x86_64::_bittestandset64`]
+
+The following previously stable functions are now `const`.
+
+- [`str::from_utf8_unchecked`]
+- [`mem::transmute`]
+
+
+Cargo
+-----
+- [Cargo will now deduplicate compiler diagnostics to the terminal when invoking
+  rustc in parallel such as when using `cargo test`.][cargo/9675]
+- [The package definition in `cargo metadata` now includes the `"default_run"`
+  field from the manifest.][cargo/9550]
+- [Added `cargo d` as an alias for `cargo doc`.][cargo/9680]
+- [Added `{lib}` as formatting option for `cargo tree` to print the `"lib_name"`
+  of packages.][cargo/9663]
+
+Rustdoc
+-------
+- [Added "Go to item on exact match" search option.][85876]
+- [The "Implementors" section on traits no longer shows redundant
+  method definitions.][85970]
+- [Trait implementations are toggled open by default.][86260] This should make the
+  implementations more searchable by tools like `CTRL+F` in your browser.
+- [Intra-doc links should now correctly resolve associated items (e.g. methods)
+  through type aliases.][86334]
+- [Traits which are marked with `#[doc(hidden)]` will no longer appear in the
+  "Trait Implementations" section.][86513]
+
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+- [std functions that return an `io::Error` will no longer use the
+  `ErrorKind::Other` variant.][85746] This is to better reflect that these
+  kinds of errors could be categorised [into newer more specific `ErrorKind`
+  variants][79965], and that they do not represent a user error.
+- [Using environment variable names with `process::Command` on Windows now
+  behaves as expected.][85270] Previously using envionment variables with
+  `Command` would cause them to be ASCII-uppercased.
+- [Rustdoc will now warn on using rustdoc lints that aren't prefixed
+  with `rustdoc::`][86849]

-  mod generated;
