No longer linking to the github generated markdown preview of the release notes I see. Finally! :+1:

Can't say I'm a fan of every header having the paragraph sign § in front of it though, that looks weird.

Feel free to file an issue and/or PR against rust-lang/rust. My guess is those are only supposed to show up on hover, but something is broken.

The release notes list "THIR unsafeck", but from the linked issue, and even issues linked from it, it's hard to figure out what that is. It would be nice if the notes provided some background on this feature.
