Title: This Week in Rust 21
Date: 2013-10-28 16:20
Category: This Week in Rust
Welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust!* This week marks the addition
of some more feature gates, removal of `std::io`, and some feature proposals.
<!-- more -->
# What's cooking on master?
47 PRs were merged this week, and we passed issue number 10000.
## Breaking Changes
- Most of the crypto in the stdlib [has been
removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9744).
- `std::io` [has been removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9901),
with corresponding improvements in `std::rt::io`.
- The `frame_address` intrinsic [has been
removed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10040).
- `@`-ptrs are [now feature-gated](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9923),
reflecting the fact that they will exist in a very different form once they
are finished.
- All of the logging that used `fmt` (`debug!` and so forth) [have been
transitioned to `format!`](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10006).
- `asm!` [is also featured gated](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10009).
- `sys::log_str` [has moved](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9937).
## Other changes
- The long-awaited addition of `mut` in patterns [has finally
happened](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10026). `let (mut x, y) = (1,
2);` works.
- The scheduler now uses [lock free data
structures](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10080), which are supposed
to perform much better.
- The homing code [now does less
work](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10070), which does one third as
many `write`'s.
- `stdout` [is now buffered](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10060).
- A [non-libuv event loop](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10054) has
been added.
- `std::rand` has seen [more](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9810)
[work](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/10015).
- `rustpkg` [now supports arbitrary
dependencies](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9654), such as C
libraries.
- `mut` is [now allowed on self](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9989).
- Nested comments [are now
allowed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9936).
- `rustpkg` will now [find crates in the current directory], so you can say
`rustpkg build` in a source dir and it will build in a workspace.
- Some new float intrinsics [have been
exposed](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9986).
- `println!` [allocates less](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/9979).

# Announcements etc
- There will be a
[meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/143439552/) in the San
Fransisco Mozilla office. Patrick Walton will be talking about sprocketnes.
If you're in the area, you should definitely go!
- [rust-ci](http://hiho.io/rust-ci/) has been created, which lets you have
travis automatically rebuild and test your repo daily, to reduce
language/library breakage.
- [rust-mustache](https://github.com/erickt/rust-mustache) and
[rust-zmq](https://github.com/erickt/rust-zmq) have been updated for master.
- [Short talk about Rust at Scala.IO in Paris (October
25th)](http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1pdrv6/short_talk_about_rust_at_scalaio_in_paris_october/).
