I'd love to have any tips about highlights and lang stuff I missed. Sadly, this needs to be merged tomorrow.

Woohoo! Thanks for the review folks. This helps a lot.

I think #26241 is in 1.3 as well? It allows a slew of mutable functionality to String and &mut str. In the end, the library functionality it enables is rather limited, but you can now produce &mut str easily through slicing.

[brson]

@bluss I you are right. I didn't include it because I thought it wasn't stable, but it's 'insta-stable'.

Some more from this timeframe with the relnotes tag: https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=org%3Arust-lang+updated%3A2015-06-25..2015-08-06+is%3Amerged+label%3Arelnotes&type=Issues&ref=searchresults

I'll make sure all these are in.
