+Version 1.13.0 (2016-11-10)
+===========================
+
+Language
+--------
+
+* [Stabilize the `?` operator][36995]. `?` is a simple way to propagate
+  errors, like the `try!` macro, described in [RFC 0243].
+* [Stabilize macros in type position][36014]. Described in [RFC 873].
+* [Stabilize attributes on statements][36995]. Described in [RFC 0016].
+* [Fix `#[derive]` for empty tuple structs/variants][35728]
+* [Fix lifetime rules for 'if' conditions][36029]
+* [Avoid loading and parsing unconfigured non-inline modules][36482]
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+* [Add the `-C link-arg` argument][36574]
+* [Remove the old AST-based backend from rustc_trans][35764]
+* [Don't enable NEON by default on armv7 Linux][35814]
+* [Fix debug line number info for macro expansions][35238]
+* [Do not emit "class method" debuginfo for types that are not
+  DICompositeType][36008]
+* [Warn about multiple conflicting #[repr] hints][34623]
+* [When sizing DST, don't double-count nested struct prefixes][36351]
+* [Default RUST_MIN_STACK to 16MiB for now][36505]
+* [Improve rlib metadata format][36551]. Reduces rlib size significantly.
+* [Reject macros with empty repetitions to avoid infinite loop][36721]
+* [Expand macros without recursing to avoid stack overflows][36214]
+
+Diagnostics
+-----------
+
+* [Replace macro backtraces with labeled local uses][35702]
+* [Improve error message for missplaced doc comments][33922]
+* [Buffer unix and lock windows to prevent message interleaving][35975]
+* [Update lifetime errors to specifically note temporaries][36171]
+* [Special case a few colors for Windows][36178]
+* [Suggest `use self` when such an import resolves][36289]
+* [Be more specific when type parameter shadows primitive type][36338]
+* Many minor improvements
+
+Compile-time Optimizations
+--------------------------
+
+* [Compute and cache HIR hashes at beginning][35854]
+* [Don't hash types in loan paths][36004]
+* [Cache projections in trans][35761]
+* [Optimize the parser's last token handling][36527]
+* [Only instantiate #[inline] functions in codegen units referencing
+  them][36524]. This leads to big improvements in cases where crates export
+  define many inline functions without using them directly.
+* [Lazily allocate TypedArena's first chunk][36592]
+* [Don't allocate during default HashSet creation][36734]
+
