+Title: This Week in Rust 32
+Date: 2014-01-11 16:23
+Category: This Week in Rust
+
+Hello and welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust*!
+[Rust](http://rust-lang.org) is a systems language pursuing the trifecta:
+safe, concurrent, and fast. This is a weekly summary of its progress and
+community. Want something mentioned? [Send me an
+email!](mailto:corey@octayn.net?subject=This%20Week%20in%20Rust%20Suggestion)
+Want to get involved? [We love
+contributions](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Note-guide-for-new-contributors).
+
+0.9 was released this week, bringing with it a restructuring of our
+documentation and the usual influx of attention.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+# What's cooking on master?
+
+57 pull requests were merged this week.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- Float literals are now [more
+strict](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11480). Octal and hex float
+literals are no longer allowed.
+- A nasty soundness bug [reported on
+reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1uxbgm/moving_ownership_via_borrowed_reference/)
+[has been fixed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11465).
+- `print` and `println` [have been removed from the
+prelude](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11416). Use the `print!` and
+`println!` macros instead.
+- `Rc` [now supports weak
+pointers](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10926/files), and it no longer
+requires the wrapped type to be Freeze or Send. That is, it no longer
+statically avoids cycles using the type system. It was found to be too
+restrictive. The only constructor is now `Rc::new`.
+- The `eof` method on `Reader` [has been
+removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11376), as only files really
+know when they are at eof. It is now a method on the types it makes sense for
+[such as `MemReader` and
+`BufReader`](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11437).
+- `std::num` is seeing some simplification. [Many traits have been merged into
+`Real`](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11412).
+- Similarly, [`ApproxEq` has been
+removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11402).
+- The `std::io::Decorator` trait [has been
+removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11394).
+- A nasty resolve bug [has been
+fixed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11370). Importing a trait made it
+available to all child modules; now it is only available in the module that
+imported it, as it should be.
+- Some [method renaming](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10854) has been
+done to `Option`. `map_default` is now `map_or` and `mutate_default` is now
+`mutate_or_set`.
+
+## Other Changes
+
+- A [lint for unnecessary casts](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11329)
+has been added. It is set to allow by default.
+- [Mutable iterators](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11342) have been
+added to `std::trie`.
+- A bug in rustpkg preventing it from finding any static libraries, and
+libnative, [has been fixed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11338).
+- `u64_from_be_bytes` [has seen some
+optimization](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11448), it is 3-6x faster.
+- `box` has been
+[kinda-implemented](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11055). `box(GC)` and
+`box(HEAP)` now work.
+- Typed arenas [have been added](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11358).
+They're really fast!
+- `stderr`/`stdout` is now
+[per-task](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/11353), which will allow
+capturing or redirecting a task's output.

+# Weekly Meeting
+
+The [weekly
+meeting](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Meeting-weekly-2014-01-07)
+discussed Windows XP support, bounded channels, the Rc changes, using guard
+pages, loadable syntax extensions, and functions that fail.

+`libc.rs`
+- "A language is more than just semantics, syntax, and an implementation -
+it's about an ecosystem and a community. Without that it dies." -

+# This Week in Servo
+Servo is a web browser engine written in Rust and is one of the primary test
+cases for the Rust language.
+
+The Servo tree has been mostly frozen for a large part of this week, as the
+nearly month-long Rust upgrade is finally getting close and we wanted to avoid
+additional rebases. We did land 7 PRs, many with associated fixes, however.
+
+## Notable additions
+- Patrick Kim fixed anonymous boxes and images disappearing during line
+breaking in [#1461](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/pull/1461) and
+[#1463](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/pull/1463).
+- Patrick Walton fixed a race issue with window sizes and script code in
+[#1409](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/pull/1409).
+- Jaeman Park landed CSS parsing and selector matching for pseudo element
+:before and :after in [#1464](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/pull/1464).
+- Bruno Abinder made some DOM additions in
+[#1466](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/pull/1466) and
+[#1472](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/pull/1472).
+
+## Meetings
+In this week's
+[meeting](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/wiki/Meeting-2014-01-06), we
+discussed the upcoming workweek, the Rust upgrade, ARM buildbots for Rust and
+Servo, and some research we're doing into the breakdown of page load.
