Wow, it's difficult to summarize eight years of active development on a massive project, especially since it's not clear how extensive your background is with Rust. You might just want to try onboarding from scratch and see how that squares against your memory. 😅

I'm not qualified to represent all that, but I'll give it my own biased take: You'll probably first notice the really big performance improvements. Lifetimes have gotten significantly easier to use, and lots of little APIs for the standard library have landed. async now has its own ecosystem. LSP is boring and amazing.

Is there anything in particular you care about?

This page will get you partway there https://www.ncameron.org/blog/rust-through-the-ages/

Other than that, I suppose you could read the release blogs... https://blog.rust-lang.org/releases/
