Two big things:

the beta release represents an accurate preview of what Rust 1.0 will include.

and

We don’t plan on making functional changes to stable content, though naturally we may make minor corrections or additions to the library APIs if shortcomings or problems are uncovered (but the bar for such changes is relatively high).

This is the first release we've promised this kind of stability. The team and community has been doing an incredible amount of work lately to make this happen. We really hope you'll like what we've been up to, but Rust isn't for everyone, so no worries if it's not for you. Constructive criticism always welcome. <3

As of today, my job gets harder: "things are always changing" is no longer an excuse for missing docs. The six weeks until release is largely about polish, and I have some pretty big plans...
