The release of the general-purpose programming language Rust 1.74 (http://www.rust-lang.org/), developed under the auspices of the independent non-profit organization Rust Foundation, has been published.

  • In addition, we can note the results (https://ostif.org/rustvmm-audit-complete/) of the audit (https://ostif.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/X41-rustvmm-final_release.pdf) of the RustVMM project (https://github.com/rust-vmm), which provides components for creating task-specific hypervisors and virtual machine monitors. The audit confirmed the high quality of the code base and the use of techniques in the architecture and implementation aimed at achieving maximum security.

  • Google also presented (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231101-rust-binder-v1-0-08ba9197f637@google.com/) a new implementation of the Binder interprocess communication mechanism rewritten in Rust. The Rust implementation of Binder has achieved parity in functionality with the original C version, passes all AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) tests and can be used to create working firmware editions.
