+Version 1.12.0 (2016-09-29)
+===========================
+
+Highlights
+----------
+
+* [`rustc` translates code to LLVM IR via its own "middle" IR (MIR)]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34096).
+ This translation pass is far simpler than the previous AST->LLVM pass, and
+ creates opportunities to perform new optimizations directly on the MIR. It
+ was previously described [on the Rust blog]
+ (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
+* [`rustc` presents a new, more readable error format, along with
+ machine-readable JSON error output for use by IDEs]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35401).
+ Most common editors supporting Rust have been updated to work with it. It was
+ previously described [on the Rust blog]
+ (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/08/10/Shape-of-errors-to-come.html).

+ (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
+* [Print the Rust target name, not the LLVM target name, with
+ `--print target-list`]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35489)
+* [The computation of `TypeId` is correct in some cases where it was previously
+ producing inconsistent results]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35267)
+* [The `mips-unknown-linux-gnu` target uses hardware floating point by default]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34910)
+* [The `rustc` arguments, `--print target-cpus`, `--print target-features`,
+ `--print relocation-models`, and `--print code-models` print the available
+ options to the `-C target-cpu`, `-C target-feature`, `-C relocation-model` and
+ `-C code-model` code generation arguments]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34845)
+* [`rustc` supports three new MUSL targets on ARM: `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`,
+ `arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`, and `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf`]
+ (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35060).
+ These targets produce statically-linked binaries. There are no binary release
+ builds yet though.
+
+Diagnostics
+-----------
+
+* [`rustc` presents a new, more readable error format, along with
