Out of pure curiosity, I started looking into the state of accessibility support in #RustLang GUI frameworks. My Rust skills are not quite at the point yet where I should even be thinking about this but again, curiosity and all. I was super delighted and surprised to then find a project called AccessKit, which apparently provides some level of screenreader accessibility across Linux, macOS and Windows for various libraries. Now this, could be very interesting indeed. https://accesskit.dev

Hey #Rustlang and #GTK community,

I am looking for sample code which lets me build a tree structure using GtkListView and TreeExpander widgets.

GtkTreeView is deprecated and I can’t find example usage for TreeExpander widget (for Rust) anywhere.

I am building file system viewer section with top-level folders. I will include lazy loading for the child nodes on expanded signals.

the latest zlib-rs no longer exports the C symbols by default.

https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/zlib-rs/pull/322

That means it now won't conflict with other dependencies that define those symbols (e.g. curl and openssl). So if zlib-rs gave you linker errors before, the latest version (part of the latest flate2 release) should fix that.

#EuroRust25 will not be over until we celebrate! We know it’s early, but we’re already looking forward to this. After two days of talks, workshops, and plenty of side events, join us for the #EuroRust25 after-party at the conference venue on October 10th

Flowistry

Flowistry is a Rust tool that analyzes the information flow of Rust programs.

Flowistry understands whether it's possible for one piece of code to affect another. It integrates into your IDE to provide a "focus mode" which helps you focus on the code that's related to your current task.

Flowistry is open-source on GitHub at https://github.com/willcrichton/flowistry.

Finished my day job, so I can come back to fixing my personal projects. And this time, I have a "funny" story! :3

Just fixed a segfault in my Rust sysinfo crate on FreeBSD. So, apparently, in some FreeBSD types, a pointer isn't actually a pointer but a kernel pointer. So to get access to the data, you need to use kvm_read function... And it might return types that also have kernel pointers and so on.

Lost a few hours trying to understand why my non-null pointers were out of my memory to discover by reading FreeBSD source code what was going on (because if there is documentation about this, didn't find it).

Anyway, I think this whole API is awful. FreeBSD making breaking changes in structs layout between each version is also a nightmare. Of all platforms I wrote Rust bindings for, this is the worst by far.

PR is here: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo/pull/1499

Bevy Hanabi v0.15.0 is out!

Following the usual release pattern, v0.15.0 is a major release with amazing new features:

New "hierarchical" effect feature allowing with GPU spawn event, to allow an effect to trigger particle spawning into another effect
A rewrite of the ribbons/trails implementation with explicit particle sorting. This replaces the confusing "group" API.
