Focus areas#

Actix#

July was mostly a maintenance month across the Actix project.

I released actix-protobuf v0.12.0, which updates prost to v0.14 and raises the MSRV to 1.88:

For actix-web, I migrated code coverage from Codecov to GitHub’s built-in coverage support and handled dependency and GitHub Actions updates:

I’m also experimenting with Actions lockfile on the Actix project. It’s currently beta but I believe it’d resolve some concerns of supply-chain risks around Actions.

I also cleaned up clippy warnings in the Actix examples:

Reviewed 64 PRs across Actix repositories this month.

Notify#

Most notify work in July was review and platform-specific stabilization toward v9.

I reviewed 13 PRs, including fixes for kqueue error propagation, recursive watch setup, and Windows shutdown races:

Preserve kqueue error kinds: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/pull/953
Install recursive kqueue watches before delivering events: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/pull/957
Handle Windows watch shutdown races: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/pull/958

I also investigated Windows handler test flakiness: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/pull/959

Rust#

I fixed VxWorks support after libc removed its pread and pwrite shims.

The rust-lang/rust change makes positioned I/O return an unsupported error on VxWorks, while the libc follow-up updates its semver test:

Reviewed 16 PRs on rust-lang/rust and 13 PRs on rust-lang/libc this month.

rust-phf#

I continued rust-phf maintenance by upgrading syn to v3 and refreshing the lockfile:

Reviewed 7 rust-phf PRs this month.
