+Category: This Week in Rust
+
+Hello and welcome to the first issue of *This Week In Rust*, a weekly overview
+of Rust and its community. I'll be covering what's cooking in incoming,
+meeting summaries, meetups, and anything else pertinent. Any ideas, email them
+to me, <mailto:[email protected]>.
+
+The Rust interns arrived this week and have got cracking right away. Big hello
+to Aaron Todd, Ben Blum, and Michael Sullivan! We can look forward to work all
+over the place, especially in the RT and debug-info.

+
+# What's cooking in incoming?
+
+There were 30 pull requests merged this week. A scattering of doc fixes and a
+bunch of code cleanups and optimization work as usual. Total issue churn
+(excludes pull requests) this week was +6.
+
+## Notable additions, bugfixes, and cleanups
+
+- Ben Striegel added the `as_c_str` string function as a method as part of the
+  overall methodization covered by [6045][is6045].
+- James Miller landed a much better optimization pipeline in [6881][is6881],
+  fixing a bunch of nascent optimization problems, especially with inlining,
+  and also fixing an earlier (huge) regression (that he introduced,
+  admittedly).
+- James also fixed [6977][is6977], which allowed nonsensical expressions like `[0,
+  ..-1]`. Whoops!
+- I introduced terminfo handling to `extra::term` in [6826][is6826], bringing
+  rustc's beautiful colors to a wider audience.  Unfortunately, it isn't
+  complete yet and, most notably, does not handle `xterm-256color` correctly
+  yet.
+- Daniel Micay landed jemalloc as the default allocator in the runtime,
+  leading to nice allocation performance boosts on all platforms, as well as
+  much improved multithreaded performance. It also has the benefit of
+  cross-platform tuning and instrumentation.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+It would be silly not to mention these changes, even though they weren't
+strictly this week:
+
+- `libcore` was renamed to `libstd` and `libstd` was renamed to `libextra`, to
+  better reflect their purpose. Confusingly, the code in rustc still uses the
+  old names. Something to watch out for!
+- All of the module reexports were removed from the prelude, so if you use,
+  for example, `io::foo`, `vec::foo`, etc, you will find yourself having to
+  add a lot of extra imports. `use std::*` to regain the old behavior,
+  more or less.
+- Patrick fixed the unsafe checker to safe code can no longer call unsafe
+  methods.
+
+This week:
+
+- `pub impl` was removed by Patrick Walton as part of [6944][is6944]. What
+  this did was have all `fn`s in a `pub impl` be `pub` by default. Now, you
+  must explicitly specify `pub` on all `fn`s in the impl if you want them
+  public.
+- Also in [6944][is6944], Patrick removed the ability to have multiple
+  patterns appear in "let" declarations. For example: `let a = 4, b = 2;`
+  becomes `let (a, b) = (4, 2);`
+- Daniel renamed the `Ptr` trait to `RawPtr` in [6913][is6913]
+- Daniel and Huon Wilson have been working on iterators a lot. In
+  [6999][is6999], they start removing the `vec::each_*` functions, as the new
+  iterator code in `std::iterator` is now mature enough for use.
+
+# Meetings
+
+There were two main meetings this week. Mostly discussion about DST, closures,
+and the GC. Lots of issues and details remain to be worked out, I suspoect it
+will still be a bit before anything final-looking comes up in a PR. See the
+[meeting][mtg1] [notes][mtg2] for more details.
+
+# Meetups
+
+- Erick Tryzelaar has a meetup planned in Mountain View on Wednesday, June 12,
+  at 7pm. See the [ML thread][sanfran] for more details.
+- Tim Chevalier will be giving a talk titled "Rust: A Friendly Introduction"
+  on Monday, June 17, 6-9pm in Portland. See [Calagator][rafi] for more details.
+

+
+# Other announcements
+
+- 10gen has some interns working on a MongoDB driver for Rust, which will be
+  very nice to have. Good luck to them!
+- Brendan Zabarauskas has fixed `lmath`. It now works on incoming. Yay!
+
+Brendan sent in a correction:
+
+{% blockquote %}
+Unfortunately whilst it builds on incoming, due to a bug you can't use it in
+external crates. moonchrome and I am are working on fixing this but it will
+require us to remove the trait heirachy and use macros to generate each type
+(Vec3f, Vec3f32, ... etc.) individually instead. Integer and Boolean vector
+types (present in GLSL) will also be removed.

+Title: This Week In Rust 2

+Category: This Week in Rust
+
+Hello and welcome to the second issue of *This Week In Rust*, a weekly overview
+of Rust and its community. I'll be covering what's cooking in incoming,
+meeting summaries, meetups, and anything else pertinent.
+
+I've decided to stop using real names and use irc/github names, simply because
+that is how I, and most everyone, interacts in the community.
+

+
+# What's cooking in incoming?
+
+There's been a lot of breakage on incoming this week, with jemalloc breaking
+32bit cross-compilation as well as random segfaults and stack corruption of
+unknown cause.  Some heroics by the core devs have got it mostly cleaned up,
+though the tree is still rather chaotic. Meanwhile a handful of performance
+improvements have landed, and achricto rewrote `rusti`.
+
+There were 17 pull requests merged this week. Total issue churn (excludes pull
+requests) this week was +2 (this excludes the 38 pull requests that were
+closed when incoming was killed).
+
+## `incoming` branch annihilated
+
+Goodbye `incoming`, hello `master`! This change, long in coming, unfortunately
+closed all open PRs. Start doing your development against `master` rather than
+incoming.
+
+## Notable additions, bugfixes, and cleanups
+
+There's a concerted effort to remove duplicate freestanding functions where
+possible.
+
+- In [6986][is6986] bjz and jensnockert have cleaned up the numeric code some
+  more, adding methods for existing things like `sin`, as well as adding a
+  bunch of interpolation stuff.
+- steven_is_false added prototype dynamic library loading support in
+  [7027][is7027], which should remove a lot of pain for people looking for
+  easy dynamic loading. It currently doesn't work on Windows, so if you can
+  sling Windows code, help would be appreciated!
+- In [7029][is7029] luqmana allows having multiple impl's add static methods,
+  which previously did not work.
+- Eridius stepped up to [fix the terminfo code][tinfo], colors should be
+  arriving to more people soon.
+- SiegeLord [improved the CSS][css] used by rustdoc with *huge* improvements.
+- sully has gotten default methods working for the most part, he is still
+  testing cross-crate edge casses.
+- vadimcn [has fixed debuginfo][debug], and supposedly the GSoC intern is
+  getting started on improving it next week.
+- doener has got [some nice][inline] [performance][cache] PRs in place.
+- aatch is working on [cleaning up trans][trans]. Huge thanks to him!
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+- dbaupp and strcat continue their cleanup of the standard library, removing
+  the ad-hoc iterator functions where `std::iterator` can replace them.
+- All of the string functions that could be reasonably converted to methods
+  have been.
+- If you're working in the stdlib, acrichto has toggled most of the lint
+  settings to "deny" for std/extra, so watch out.
+
+# Meetings
+
+The [Tuesday meeting][tues] talked about bblum's [Effect proposal][eff],
+removing the master/incoming split, and "alloc expressions", a replacement for
+@-sigils.
+
+The consensus on the effect proposal is that it needs investigation and
+wouldn't be landing in 1.0.
+
+Discussion about master/incoming mostly centered on "master isn't always
+green, how can we add better coverage to bors' tests?" Consensus seems to be
+that removing incoming would be beneficial, but enabling more OS and valgrind
+coverage on bors would harmfully impact development speed.
+
+The proposed syntax for alloc expressions is `new (provider) expr`, with `new
+expr` becoming the replacement for the current `~expr`. This would allow
+custom smart pointers. pcwalton ended the meeting with a huge cliff hanger
+
+{% blockquote %}
+I've been meaning to talk a little bit today about simplifying the
+mut-borrowing story in regards to this, we may be able to effect a large
+simplification on the language
+{% endblockquote %}
+
+Personally, I think [kimundi's proposal][kim] has a lot of promise, and the
+syntax is more pleasing to me. It wasn't brought up at the meeting, though.
+
+# Meetups
+
+- The Mountain View meetup was a great success. 18 showed up. erickt is
+  planning for another SF Bay area meetup in July. If you want to give a
+  presentation, send him your proposal and how long you need to put it
+  together.
+- Tim Chevalier will be giving a talk titled "Rust: A Friendly Introduction"
+  on Monday, June 17, 6-9pm in Portland. See [Calagator][rafi] for more
+  details. This is a preview of a talk he will be giving at [Open Source
+  Bridge][osb], also in Portland.
+
+# Notable discourse
+
+- Still more discussion about [iterators][iter], this time focusing around
+  [changing the semantics][for] of the `for` loop.
+- Some discussion about [list comprehensions][listcomp], including initial
+  proofs-of-concept.
+- Graydon explains hashing and versioning
+  https://botbot.me/mozilla/rust/msg/3792753/
+- Principal author of 0install evaluates rust among other languages as a
+  python replacement
+  http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2013/06/09/choosing-a-python-replacement-for-0install/
+- Niko thinks about parallelism
+  http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2013/06/11/data-parallelism-in-rust/
+- http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2013/06/11/on-the-connection-between-memory-management-and-data-race-freedom/
+
+# Other announcements
+
+- bjz tells me lmath is *actually* fixed now, and is usable
