Version
1.83.0 of the Rust language has been released.

This release includes several large extensions to what code running
in const contexts can do. This refers to all code that the
compiler has to evaluate at compile-time: the initial value of
const and static items, array lengths, enum
discriminant values, const generic arguments, and functions
callable from such contexts (const fn).

There are also quite a few new stabilized APIs.
