When providing a suggestion about a missing method, rustc now prefers an exactly matching name from a doc alias attribute over a similarity search from other method names. If your new users sometimes expect a method under a different name, adding a doc alias will now help them find it via rustc suggestions, in addition to helping them find it via rustdoc search: When suggesting method names, prefer exact doc aliases over similar names

Iteration on RangeInclusive (a..=b ranges) is now optimized better in some circumstances. As a side effect of this, the behavior of RangeInclusive values that has already been exhausted (as an iterator) has changed. For example, the return values of start() and end() on such ranges may return different values, and using such ranges as slice indexes may have different behavior. These behaviors were not guaranteed to be stable, so these changes are considered to not be breaking changes.
Add a new built-in profile debug. This is a preparation for transitioning the dev profile away from debugging to give a saner default for faster development iterations. Currently there is no difference between dev and debug profiles. docs#17214
Workspace members on edition 2024 or later can now override an inherited workspace dependency's default-features field. For example, serde = { workspace = true, default-features = false } now turns off default features even when the workspace definition enables them. On earlier editions, default-features = false is ignored with a warning. (RFC 3945) #17126
Macros that expand to a semicolon now produce a warning lint (semicolon_in_expressions_from_non_local_macros) even when the macro comes from another crate. Previously, such warnings only appeared for macros from the same crate, to avoid showing warnings that can't be fixed locally; however, this masked problems, as integration tests from the crate providing the macro get compiled as a separate crate, so tests often wouldn't reveal this issue. If you encounter a lint like this, please make sure to report it to the crate providing the macro so they can fix it; don't just silence it in your own crate.
In Cargo, incremental compilation is now disabled by default when running in CI. CI is detected via the CI environment variable. #17220

- [Enable `static_position_independent_executables` on all gnu targets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/158510)
- When providing a suggestion about a missing method, rustc now prefers an exactly matching name from a [doc alias attribute](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/advanced-features.html#add-aliases-for-an-item-in-documentation-search) over a similarity search from other method names. If your new users sometimes expect a method under a different name, adding a doc alias will now help them find it via rustc suggestions, in addition to helping them find it via rustdoc search: [When suggesting method names, prefer *exact* doc aliases over similar names](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/160369)
