it would be amazing if these could be contributed to the cargo docs and/or link to the cargo docs.

[steveklabnik]

the cargo docs don't have this yet. I'll put it on my to-do list.

[ashleygwilliams]

this is probably a product call that is not worth debating on this PR, but both of these deal with lints... we might want to specify that cargo fix won't fix cargo clippy lints (i am assuming that is tru)

[Centril]

Seems like this is specified on line 147-148.

The post is missing cargo doc --document-private-items, can you add it? We forgot to include it in the release notes too, but there is already a PR open.

[petrochenkov]

Proc macro API was also stabilized in 1.29.

[XAMPPRocky]

@petrochenkov Talking @Mark-Simulacrum users won't actually be able to use proc macros despite the API being stable.

[petrochenkov]

@Aaronepower
I was talking about the library part, not #[proc_macro]/#[proc_macro_attribute] definitions.
Proc macro derives are stable and can use the API now instead of parsing strings.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

In conversations with @alexcrichton it was my understanding that this cycle's stabilization with proc macros aren't quite as interesting as the next cycle's functionality for most end-users which is primarily why we're not really pushing it publicly; if that's not the case we can add it here I guess.

proc_macro

Yes; that's why I didn't include it. I'd rather spend time explaining it all in the next release.

Yes!
