[$] LWN.net Weekly Edition for November 7, 2019
The LWN.net Weekly Edition for November 7, 2019 is available. | | 2:50p |
Rust 1.39.0 released Version
1.39.0 of the Rust language is available. The biggest new feature appears to be the async/await mechanism, which is described in this
blog post: " So, what is async await? Async-await is a way to
write functions that can 'pause', return control to the runtime, and then
pick up from where they left off. Typically those pauses are to wait for
I/O, but there can be any number of uses." | | 2:52p |

[$] Statistics from the 5.4 development cycle
As of this writing, just over 14,000 non-merge changesets have found their
way into the mainline repository for the 5.4 release; that is a bit less
than we saw for 5.3, but more than most of the other recent kernels. The
final 5.4 release is approaching, so it must be time for our usual look at
where the code merged in this development cycle came from. It's mostly
business as usual in the kernel community, modulo an appearance from none
other than Hulk Robot. |
