+Title: This Week in Rust 45

+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).

+# What's cooking on master?
+
+64 pull requests were merged this week.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- `BenchHarness` [has been
+  renamed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13236) to `Bencher`
+- The `push_str` and `push_char` methods on `~str` [have been
+  removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13440), and a `StrBuf` type
+  added, as an analog to `Vec`.
+- Duplicate moves from the variables a `proc` captures [are no longer
+  allowed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13413).
+- `std::libc` [has been extracted](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13315)
+  into its own crate.
+- Various bugs in resolve [have been
+  fixed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13409). The fixes seem
+  relatively obscure, but they're well documented if your code breaks.
+-  The functions in `flate` now [return Option instead of
+   failing](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13389).
+
+## Other Changes
+
+- `TotalEq` and `TotalOrd` [now
+  document](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13358) exactly what the types
+  implementing them must guarantee.
+- Some bugs with debuginfo [have been
+  fixed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13441). In particular, the
+  annoying link failure with debuginfo has been fixed.
+- Relocation model [is now
+  configurable](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13340) with `-C
+  relocation-model`.
+
+Additionally, a lot of cleanup happened. Not much of it sticks out particularly.

+
+- [Extend nullable pointer optimization to library
+  types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/36)
+- [Extended method lookup](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/37)
