+
+Cargo
+-----
+- [Allow named debuginfo options in `Cargo.toml`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11958/)
+- [Add `workspace_default_members` to the output of `cargo metadata`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11978/)
+- [`cargo add` now considers `rust-version` when selecting packages.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12078/)
+- [Automatically inherit workspace fields when running `cargo new`/`cargo init`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12069/)
+
+<a id="1.71.0-Rustdoc"></a>
+
+Rustdoc
+-------
+
+- [Add a new `rustdoc::unescaped_backticks` lint for broken inline code.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105848/)
+- [Support strikethrough with single tildes.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/111152/) (`~~old~~` vs. `~new~`)
+
+<a id="1.71.0-Misc"></a>

+
+Compatibility Notes
+-------------------
+
+- [Add a `sysroot` crate to represent the standard library crates.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108865/)
+  This does not affect stable users, but may require adjustment in tools that build their own standard library.
+- [Cargo optimizes its usage under `rustup`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11917/) When
+  Cargo detects it will run `rustc` pointing to a rustup proxy, it'll try bypassing the proxy and
+  use the underlying binary directly. There are assumptions around the interaction with rustup and
+  `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN`. However, it's not expected to affect normal users.
+- [When querying a package, Cargo tries only the original name, all hyphens, and all underscores to
+  handle misspellings.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12083/) Previously, Cargo tried each
+  combination of hyphens and underscores, causing excessive requests to crates.io.
+- Cargo now [disallows `RUSTUP_HOME`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12101/) and
+  [`RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12107/) in the `[env]` configuration
+  table. This is considered to be not a use case Cargo would like to support, since it will likely
+  cause problems or lead to confusion.

+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
+significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
+tools.
