+Title: This Week in Rust 23
+Date: 2013-11-19 01:42
+Category: This Week in Rust
+
+Welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust*.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+# What's cooking on master?
+
+46 PRs were merged this week.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+- `std::rt::io` [has moved on](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10423) to
+  become `std::io`. Yay!
+- The `#[fixed_stack_segment]` attribute [has been
+  removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10407).
+- `as` casts to functions are [no longer
+  allowed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9788).
+- The return value of the `io::process` is no longer an int, but [an enum that
+  also represents termination by
+  signal](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10109). It's also ostensibly
+  more portable: to check if a subprocess succeeded, just call `.success()` on
+  the return value.
+- `std::cast::unsafe_copy` has [has been
+  removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10497). It is identical to
+  `std::ptr::read_ptr`.
+- Trailing `::` is [no longer
+  allowed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10420) in paths
+
+## Other Changes
+
+- Vectors have [more overflow
+  checking](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10417). This was the cause
+  of a few mysterious segfaults.
+- Crate maps [can now be generated for
+  libraries](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10422), for when you want to
+  embed a Rust library in a non-Rust application.
+- Creation of buffered readers/writers [has been optimized a
+  bit](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10424).
+- If you use OS X, you'll be happy to see that the frivolous "no debug symbols
+  in executable" warning [has been stomped
+  out](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10198).
+- The missing-documentation lint is [now more
+  accepting](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10277), and won't warn about
+  private items.
+- `BufWriter`, an implementation of Writer for already-existing buffers, [is
+  now implemented](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10451).
+- The native IO backend has seen [a good
+  boost](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10457); it will now be
+  seamlessly fallen back to when the libuv backend isn't available (you can
+  test this out by adding `#[no_uv];` to your crates).
+- A lint for numeric literals which overflow their type [has been
+  implemented](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10018).
+- A `Buffer` trait [has been
+  added](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10466) to `std::io`, with
+  `read_line`, `read_until`, and `read_char`.
+- The error message when the trait's method declaration and the method
+  declaration in the implementation aren't the same [now includes the trait
+  name](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10509).
+- The libuv bindings were [largely
+  rewritten](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10321) for performance, at
+  the sacrifice of some flexibility (which was of questionable value).
+- `_`-prefixed variables [no
+  longer](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10518) get an unused `mut`
+  warning.
