Description
This issue tracks the release notes text for #137951.
cc @Noratrieb -- original issue/PR authors and assignees for drafting text
See the forge.rust-lang.org chapter about release notes for an overview of how the release team makes use of these tracking issues.
Release notes text
This section should be edited to specify the correct category(s) for the change, with succinct description(s) of what changed. Some things worth considering:
- Does this need an additional compat notes section?
- Was this a libs stabilization that should have additional headers to list new APIs under
Stabilized APIs
andConst Stabilized APIs
?
nothing: REMOVE THIS!!
Tip
Use the previous releases for inspiration on how to write the release notes text and which categories to pick.
Release blog section
If this change is notable enough for inclusion in the blog post then this section should be edited to contain a draft for the blog post. Otherwise leave it empty.
## Target deprecation warning for 1.87.0
The target `i586-pc-windows-msvc` will be removed in the next version of Rust, 1.87.0.
This is because this target is effectively useless.
Its difference to the much more popular `i686-pc-windows-msvc` is that it does not require SSE2 instruction support, but Windows 10,
the minimum required OS version of all `windows` targets (except the `win7` targets), requires SSE2 instructions itself, so this target does not fulfill a purpose.
You can check the [Major Change Proposal](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/840) for more information.
Note
If a blog post section is required the release-blog-post
label should be added (@rustbot label +release-blog-post
) to this issue as otherwise it may be missed by the release team.
