Title: This Week in Rust 85
Date: 2015-06-29
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:
safety, concurrency, and speed. This is a weekly summary of its progress and
community. Want something mentioned? Tweet us at [@ThisWeekInRust](https://twitter.com/ThisWeekInRust) or [send us an
email](mailto:corey@octayn.net?subject=This%20Week%20in%20Rust%20Suggestion)!

# What's cooking on master?
95 pull requests were [merged in the last week][merged].
[merged]: https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Apr+org%3Arust-lang+is%3Amerged+merged%3A2015-06-22..2015-06-29
# Breaking Changes
Now you can follow breaking changes *[as they happen][BitRust2]*!
[BitRust2]: http://killercup.github.io/bitrust/
# Other Changes
* [std: Add support for Windows XP](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/26601).
* [Reset signal behavior before starting children with std::process](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25784). Resets Rust's SIGPIPE handler, as well as any signal mask that may have been set, before spawning a child.
* [MSVC: Implement runtime support for unwinding](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/26569). A key aspect is missing, however, which is that unwinding is still turned off by default for MSVC.
* [Suggest missing trait bounds when a method exists but the bounds aren't satisfied](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/26435).
