+Title: This Week in Rust 55
+Date: 2014-08-18 22:28
+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).
+
+It's been a long while since a TWiR, and I apologize for that. This TWiR is
+going to be much more abbreviated than usual. The normal pace will resume next
+week.

+# What's cooking on master?
+
+There were 418 pull requests merged in the past two months, modulo any rollups
+(which are usually a combination of 10-20 pull requests).
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+88 commits contained breaking changes. Since this is a completely unreasonable
+number (and I'm sure ancient breaking changes aren't interesting), I'll just
+cover the last week's:
+
+- A [bunch of changes](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/16332) happened
+  to `core::slice`, including some trait renames. Most code shouldn't be
+  affected by this, these traits are all in the prelude.
+- A `Duration` type [has been
+  added](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15934), and many functions
+  which logically take a duration have been changed to use it.
+- Imports and items are [no longer allowed to
+  shadow](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/16482).
+
+## Other Changes
+
+Far too many for me to list! Impressively, pcwalton has been knocking down
+backwards incompatible changes left and right. Currently, only [11
+issues](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AP-backcompat-lang+milestone%3A1.0)
+backwards incompatible language changes are tagged for 1.0. He has also
+implemented [unboxed
+closures](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/active/0044-closures.md), fixed a bunch of soundness issues, a large
+portion of associated types, basic [`where`
+clauses](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/135), [lifetime
+elision](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/active/0039-lifetime-elision.md), and various smaller
+issues.
+
+There's been tons of library work, including stabilization, and cargo has
+really taken off.
