# Changelog All notable changes to bootstrap will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/). ## [Changes since the last major version] - Vendoring is no longer done automatically when building from git sources. To use vendoring, run `cargo vendor` manually, or use the pre-vendored `rustc-src` tarball. - `llvm-libunwind` now accepts `in-tree` (formerly true), `system` or `no` (formerly false) [#77703](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77703) - The options `infodir`, `localstatedir`, and `gpg-password-file` are no longer allowed in config.toml. Previously, they were ignored without warning. Note that `infodir` and `localstatedir` are still accepted by `./configure`, with a warning. [#82451](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/82451) - Change the names for `dist` commands to match the component they generate. [#90684](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90684) - The `build.fast-submodules` option has been removed. Fast submodule checkouts are enabled unconditionally. Automatic submodule handling can still be disabled with `build.submodules = false`. - Several unsupported `./configure` options have been removed: `optimize`, `parallel-compiler`. These can still be enabled with `--set`, although it isn't recommended. ### Non-breaking changes - `x.py check` needs opt-in to check tests (--all-targets) [#77473](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77473) - The default bootstrap profiles are now located at `bootstrap/defaults/config.$PROFILE.toml` (previously they were located at `bootstrap/defaults/config.toml.$PROFILE`) [#77558](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77558) - If you have Rust already installed, `x.py` will now infer the host target from the default rust toolchain. [#78513](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78513) - Add options for enabling overflow checks, one for std (`overflow-checks-std`) and one for everything else (`overflow-checks`). Both default to false. ## [Version 2] - 2020-09-25 - `host` now defaults to the value of `build` in all cases + Previously `host` defaulted to an empty list when `target` was overridden, and to `build` otherwise ### Non-breaking changes - Add `x.py setup` [#76631](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76631) - Add a changelog for x.py [#76626](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76626) - Optionally, download LLVM from CI on Linux and NixOS. This can be enabled with `download-ci-llvm = true` under `[llvm]`. + [#76439](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76349) + [#76667](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76667) + [#76708](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76708) - Distribute rustc sources as part of `rustc-dev` [#76856](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76856) - Make the default stage for x.py configurable [#76625](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76625). This can be enabled with `build-stage = N`, `doc-stage = N`, etc. - Add a dedicated debug-logging option [#76588](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76588). Previously, `debug-logging` could only be set with `debug-assertions`, slowing down the compiler more than necessary. - Add sample defaults for x.py [#76628](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76628) - Add `--keep-stage-std`, which behaves like `keep-stage` but allows the stage 0 compiler artifacts (i.e., stage1/bin/rustc) to be rebuilt if changed [#77120](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77120). ## [Version 1] - 2020-09-11 This is the first changelog entry, and it does not attempt to be an exhaustive list of features in x.py. Instead, this documents the changes to bootstrap in the past 2 months. - Improve defaults in `x.py` [#73964](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73964) (see [blog post] for details) - Set `ninja = true` by default [#74922](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74922) - Avoid trying to inversely cross-compile for build triple from host triples [#76415](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76415) - Allow blessing expect-tests in tools [#75975](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75975) - `x.py check` checks tests/examples/benches [#76258](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76258) - Fix `rust.use-lld` when linker is not set [#76326](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76326) - Build tests with LLD if `use-lld = true` was passed [#76378](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76378) [blog post]: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2020/08/30/changes-to-x-py-defaults.html
