#[repr(align(N))], not "cfg".

previously 2^15.
- [`{OsStr, Path}::Display` now avoids allocations where possible][42613]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`Chain::get_mut`]
- [`Chain::get_ref`]
- [`Chain::into_inner`]
- [`Take::get_mut`]
- [`Take::get_ref`]
- [`f32::from_bits`]
- [`f32::to_bits`]

Oh this is actually a little different than mentioned here. The change here was to infer src/bin/$binary_name/main.rs automatically as producign a $binary_name binary. Previously we'd just recognie src/bin/*.rs, but now we're also recognizing src/bin/*/main.rs

`src/client/main.rs` generates `target/debug/server` and `target/debug/client`
- [You can now specify version of a binary when installed through
`cargo install` using `--vers`.][cargo/4229]
- [Added `--no-fail-fast` flag to cargo to run all benchmarks regardless of
failure.][cargo/4248]
- [Changed the convention around which file is the crate root.][cargo/4259]
- [The `include`/`exclude` property in `Cargo.toml` now accepts gitignore paths
instead of glob patterns][cargo/4270]. Glob patterns are now deprecated.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Functions with `'static` in their return types will now not be as usable as
if they were using lifetime parameters instead.][42417]

#42431 should be a compatibility note. Previously NaN returns false for both is_sign_positive and is_sign_negative, and now they take the sign of NaN into account (following IEEE-754 definition). Code relying on the old behavior will be broken.
