+Title: This Week in Rust 46
+Date: 2014-04-26 14:06
+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).
+
+This issue combines this week and last, since I was very busy with school last
+week, and did not have time to write.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+# What's cooking on master?
+
+153 pull requests were merged in the last two weeks.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- Auto-rooting of `@` [has been
+  removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13559). The exact fallout of
+  this isn't obvious to me, but presumably this makes some uses of `@` not
+  work.
+- `std::task::task` [has been
+  renamed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13675) to `TaskBuilder::new`.
+- Closures can [no longer be
+  applied](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13686) through a `&`-pointer.
+  This fixes some memory unsafety.
+- The `Round` trait [has been
+  removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13597), and is now part of
+  `Float`, and `Float` now takes things by-value.
+- `Unsafe<T>` [is now always
+  `Share`](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13583), regardless of whether
+  or not the contained type is `Share`.
+- Modulo (`%` operator) on float types [has been
+  removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13410), use the `rem` method
+  instead.
+- `~[T]` [is no longer growable](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13588).
+- Some `Bitv` method names [have
+  changed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13572).
+- The `priv` keyword [is no longer
+  used](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13547), but is still reserved.
+- Some cases where destructors were not run [have been
+  fixed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13390).
+- `unwrap` and `unwrap_err` on `Result` [now require the wrapper type to
+  implement `Show`](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13479).
+- Some return types in `std::comm` [have been made
+  consistent](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13448).
+
+## Other Changes
+
+- There is now a [pure-Rust regular expression
+  library](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13700) in the standard
+  library. As I've come to expect from burntsushi, the docs are fantastic.
+- [Unix sockets](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13723) and [TCP
+  sockets](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13688) now support accept with
+  a timeout. [TcpStream::connect](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13604) can also
+  take a timeout.
+- [64-bit Windows is now partially
+  supported](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13692). Unwinding still
+  doesn't work.
+- `&&` [is now parsed as `& &`](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13576)
+  when appropriate.
+- Errors about use of moved values [are much nicer
+  now](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13418).
+- Cloning vectors [is now much much
+  faster](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13539).
+- SipHash [has also been
+  optimized](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13522).
+- Steve Klabnik's 30 minute introduction to Rust [has been added as official
+  documentation](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13416).

+# Weekly Meeting
+
+- [Two weeks
+  ago](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Meeting-weekly-2014-04-15), a
+  bunch of RFCs were discussed, as well as a breaking change log.
+- [Last week], some more RFCs were discussed, notably the regex crate, numeric
+  type inference, and disableable asserts.
+
+# RFCs
+
+- [Linker placement attribute](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/44)
+- [Avoiding integer overflow](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/45)
+- [Writer size hints](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/46)
+- [Revised trait matching](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/48)
+- [Disableable assertions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/50)
+- [Macro name resolution](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/51)
+- [Private trait items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/52)
+- [Coroutines](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/53)
+
+# Community Updates
+
+- For all Mac users, there is now
+  [dash-rust](https://github.com/indirect/dash-rust/), for Rust API docs in
+  Dash.
+- Another [Rust By Example](http://rustbyexample.github.io/) has been created.
+  This one is much more complete and also looks pretty nice.
+- [Teepee](http://chrismorgan.info/blog/introducing-teepee.html) has been
+  announced, the successor to `rust-http`.
+- [zinc](https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2014-April/009618.html),
+  a bare-metal Rust stack.
+- [An IntelliJ Rust plugin](https://github.com/Vektah/idea-rust).
+- [Rust for C++
+  Programmers](http://featherweightmusings.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/rust-for-c).
+- [A very fast n-queens solver](https://github.com/reem/rust-n-queens).
