After so much terrible tech politics news, let’s focus on some nice, easy-going Linux news that’s not going to be controversial at all: Ubuntu intends to replace numerous core Linux utilities with newer Rust replacements, starting with the ubiquitous GNU Coreutils. This package provides utilities which have become synonymous with Linux to many – the likes of ls, cp, and mv. In … ⌘ Read more
Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.1
This is mostly a bugfix release over version 1.9.0.
The main fix is the rust JID implementation that would behave incorrectly when
hashed if the JID contained non-ascii characters. This is an important issue as
using a non-ascii JID was mostly broken, and interacting with one failed in
interesting ways.
- The previously mentioned JID hash issue
- Various edge cases in the roster code
- One edge case in the MUC ( [XEP-0045](https: … ⌘ Read more

Redox continues adding dynamic linking support
These months are coming and going way too fast, for a whole variety of reasons, so we’ve got another month of improvements for Redox, the operating system written in Rust. I February, January’s work on dynamic linking continued, adding support for it to the recipes for Cargo, LLVM, Rust, libssh2, OpenSSL, zlib, COSMIC Terminal, NetSurf, libpng, bzip2, DevilutionX, and LuaJIT, as well as to the project’s Rust and OpenSSL forks. Relibc also … ⌘ Read more
Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.0
It has not been too long since 1.8.6 and here we are with 1.9.0, which is kind of a major release (following the well-known pridever numbering scheme).
Long story short, there are at least two major changes warranting the new number (and plenty of other things, read on!):
- switching the cython jid implementation for a rust one, which will be faster and more correct
- removing the xmpp.process() method (planned since the 1.8.0 release)

zlib-rs is faster than C
I’m sure we can all have a calm, rational discussion about this, so here it goes: zlib-rs, the Rust re-implementation of the zlib library, is now faster than its C counterparts in both decompression and compression. We’ve released version 0.4.2 of zlib-rs, featuring a number of substantial performance improvements. We are now (to our knowledge) the fastest api-compatible zlib implementation for decompression, and beat the competition in the most important compression cases too. ↫ F … ⌘ Read more
