Add 1.56.0 release notes #88893

Mark-Simulacrum · 2021-09-12T19:24:34Z

Notable things:

Rustdoc section currently absent, for lack of things to call out that I could find. It seems like Add support for tuple struct field documentation #87451 is the only potential candidate, but that seems like more of a bugfix and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion to me. But we can add it if desired.

As with the 1.55.0 release notes, my intent is to leave this open for approximately 1-2 weeks at the early part of the cycle, and then merge it in (after fixing any feedback). Further iteration can happen in subsequent issues (and PRs).

If we're including bugfixes, #88019 is another good ones, it fixes a metric ton of issues with rustdoc and macros.

#87728 and #87050 might be good to mention in compatibility notes (not sure if they're major enough since it's only a warning).

Other than that I agree there's not a lot.

I would love a rendered link. I would also enjoy #88250. PGO builds for other targets would also be nice.

#88250 is nightly-only, right? We don't mention nightly-only things in release notes.

#87728 and #87050 might be good to mention in compatibility notes (not sure if they're major enough since it's only a warning).

I intentionally didn't include things that are "obviously" made incompatible in this release with just warnings.
