+Version 1.49.0 (2020-12-31)
+============================
+
+Language
+-----------------------
+
+- [Unions can now implement `Drop`, and you can now have a field in a union
+  with `ManuallyDrop<T>`.][77547]
+- [You can now cast uninhabited enums to integers.][76199]
+- [You can now bind by reference and by move in patterns.][76119] This
+  allows you to selectively borrow individual components of a type. E.g.
+  ```rust
+  #[derive(Debug)]
+  struct Person {
+      name: String,
+      age: u8,
+  }
+
+  let person = Person {
+      name: String::from("Alice"),
+      age: 20,
+  };
+
+  // `name` is moved out of person, but `age` is referenced.
+  let Person { name, ref age } = person;
+  println!("{} {}", name, age);
+  ```
+
+Compiler
+-----------------------
+
+- [Added tier 1\* support for `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`.][78228]
+- [Added tier 2 support for `aarch64-apple-darwin`.][75991]
+- [Added tier 2 support for `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`.][75914]
+- [Added tier 3 support for `mipsel-unknown-none`.][78676]
+- [Raised the minimum supported LLVM version to LLVM 9.][78848]
+- [Output from threads spawned in tests is now captured.][78227]
+- [Change os and vendor values to "none" and "unknown" for some targets][78951]
+
+\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][forge-platform-support] for more
+information on Rust's tiered platform support.
+
+Libraries
+-----------------------
+
+- [`RangeInclusive` now checks for exhaustion when calling `contains` and indexing.][78109]
+- [`ToString::to_string` now no longer shrinks the internal buffer in the default implementation.][77997]
+- [`ops::{Index, IndexMut}` are now implemented for fixed sized arrays of any length.][74989]
+
+Stabilized APIs
+---------------
+
+- [`slice::select_nth_unstable`]
+- [`slice::select_nth_unstable_by`]
+- [`slice::select_nth_unstable_by_key`]
+
+The following previously stable methods are now `const`.
+
+- [`Poll::is_ready`]
+- [`Poll::is_pending`]
+
+Cargo
+-----------------------
+- [Building a crate with `cargo-package` should now be independently reproducible.][cargo/8864]
+- [`cargo-tree` now marks proc-macro crates.][cargo/8765]
+- [Added `CARGO_PRIMARY_PACKAGE` build-time environment variable.][cargo/8758] This
+  variable will be set if the crate being built is one the user selected to build, either
+  with `-p` or through defaults.
+- [You can now use glob patterns when specifying packages & targets.][cargo/8752]
+
+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+
+- [Demoted `i686-unknown-freebsd` from host tier 2 to target tier 2 support.][78746]
+- [Macros that end with a semi-colon are now treated as statements even if they expand to nothing.][78376]
+- [Rustc will now check for the validity of some built-in attributes on enum variants.][77015]
+  Previously such invalid or unused attributes could be ignored.
+- Leading whitespace is stripped more uniformly in documentation comments, which may change behavior. You
+  read [this post about the changes][rustdoc-ws-post] for more details.
+- [Trait bounds are no longer inferred for associated types.][79904]
+
+Internal Only
+-------------
+These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
+improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
+related tools.
+
+- [rustc's internal crates are now compiled using the `initial-exec` Thread
+  Local Storage model.][78201]
+- [Calculate visibilities once in resolve.][78077]
+- [Added `system` to the `llvm-libunwind` bootstrap config option.][77703]
+- [Added `--color` for configuring terminal color support to bootstrap.][79004]
