More highlights would be good. I intend to go through and hyperlink all the APIs still.

Could mention that the RFC 1214 changes had a borrowck improvement (stricter) to enable safe and sound scoped threads (rfc link); crossbeam and scoped threadpool depend on this.

Could say std::fmt::Write to disambiguate here.

Might want to mention #27307 (float parsing rewrite). Something like:

str::parse no longer introduces avoidable rounding error when parsing floating point numbers. Together with earlier changes to float formatting/output, "round trips" like f.to_string().parse() now preserve the value of f exactly. Additionally, leading plus signs are now accepted.

The leading plus thing is only mentioned because it might be a breaking change (although minor) for some users, if the analogous change for integer parsing (currently in nightly) is any indication.
