What's New in 1.83

New Features

Stabilized async closures
Expanded `const` generics for array-based APIs

Clearer borrow-checker diagnostics with suggested fixes

Bug Fixes

Fixed an edge case in trait object upcasting
Corrected `cargo test` output ordering under parallel execution

Rust's six-week release train continues to stabilize async trait features, expand `const` evaluation, and improve compiler diagnostics - all without breaking the language's strong backward-compatibility guarantees.
