+author: The Rust Release Team
+release: true
+---
+
+The Rust team is happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.52.0. Rust is a
+programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and
+efficient software.
+
+If you have a previous version of Rust installed via rustup, getting Rust
+1.52.0 is as easy as:
+
+```console
+rustup update stable
+```
+
+If you don't have it already, you can [get `rustup`][install]
+from the appropriate page on our website, and check out the
+[detailed release notes for 1.52.0][notes] on GitHub.
+
+[install]: https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html

+
+## What's in 1.52.0 stable
+
+The most significant change in this release is not to the language or standard
+libraries, but rather an enhancement to tooling support for Clippy.
+
+Previously, running `cargo check` followed by `cargo clippy` wouldn't actually
+run clippy: the build caching in Cargo didn't differentiate between the two. In
+1.52, however, this has been fixed, which means that users will get the expected
+behavior independent of the order in which they run the two commands.
+
+### Stabilized APIs
+
+The following methods were stabilized.
+
+- [`Arguments::as_str`]
+- [`Peekable::next_if_eq`]
+- [`Peekable::next_if`]
+- [`char::MAX`]
+- [`char::REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER`]
+- [`char::UNICODE_VERSION`]
+- [`char::decode_utf16`]
+- [`char::from_digit`]
+- [`char::from_u32_unchecked`]
+- [`char::from_u32`]
+- [`slice::partition_point`]
+- [`str::rsplit_once`]
+- [`str::split_once`]
+
+The following previously stable APIs are now `const`.
+
+- [`char::len_utf8`]
+- [`char::len_utf16`]
+- [`char::to_ascii_uppercase`]
+- [`char::to_ascii_lowercase`]
+- [`char::eq_ignore_ascii_case`]
+- [`u8::to_ascii_uppercase`]
+- [`u8::to_ascii_lowercase`]
+- [`u8::eq_ignore_ascii_case`]
