Friend of the Tree
Today @nrc would like to nominated @marcusklaas as Friend of the Tree:
Marcus is one of the primary authors of rustfmt. He has been involved since the early days and is now the top contributor. He has fixed innumerable bugs, implemented new features, reviewed a tonne of PRs, and contributed to the design of the project. Rustfmt would not be the software it is today without his hard work; he is indeed a Friend Of The Tree.
Libs
From last week, we had two RFCs in FCP:
-
FCP PR #1291
RFC: Promote the
libccrate from the nursery – merged, now available in the main repository, and a version bump will be coming soon! - FCP PR #1307 Add some additional utility methods to OsString and OsStr - merged, and tracking issue
Two new RFCs were moved into FCP this week as well:
- FCP PR #1270 RFC: #[deprecated] for Everyone
- FCP PR #1288 Improvements to the Time APIs
As a reminder, this coming week is where we’ll decide on the set of FCP issues for APIs in the standard library to stabilize during the 1.6 cycle. If you’ve got an API you’d like to see stable, please feel free to comment on the list of issues.
