 ## Breaking Changes

 * [Flexible target specification][flex] has finally landed. This makes
   it much easier to create custom toolchains for unsupported
   platforms. [RFC][flex-rfc].
 * [Error interoperation][err] improves the ergonomics of error
   handling when multiple error types are involved. [RFC][err-rfc].
+* The `rtio` abstraction layer that supported I/O on green threads
+  [has been removed][rtio]. [RFC][rtio-rfc].
 * There has been a minor breaking change to the [serialization of
   tuples][tup].
 * Minor [changes to macro interpolation][mac] have resulted the

+# Approved RFC's
 * [Num reform](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0418-struct-variants.md): Strips down `std::num` to minimally support generic primitive numbers, without supporting a full mathematical hierarchy.
 
 * [Higher-ranked trait bounds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0387-higher-ranked-trait-bounds.md): Add the ability to have trait bounds that are polymorphic over lifetimes. Necessary for unboxed closures.

 * [Macro reform](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/453): Prepares macros for 1.0 stabilization. Renames `macro_rules!` to `macro!`, and introduces more robust support for module importing and exporting.
 
 * [Change integer fallback RFC to suggest `i32` instead of `int` as the fallback](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/452): Changes the fallback for performance and portability.
