+
+Hello and welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust and WebAssembly*!
+
+[Rust](https://rust-lang.org) is a systems language pursuing the trifecta:
+safety, concurrency, and speed.
+
+[WebAssembly](http://webassembly.org) is a stack-based virtual machine and
+instruction set. It is fast, safe, portable, and part of the open Web
+platform. By compiling to WebAssembly, we can run Rust code on the Web!
+
+This is a weekly summary of Rust and WebAssembly's progress and community.
+
+Did we miss something? Tweet to us at [@rustwasm](https://twitter.com/rustwasm)

+## Updates from [`rustwasm/*`](https://github.com/rustwasm)
+
+### RFCs
+
+#### New RFCs
+
+None.
+
+#### Merged RFCs
+
+None.
+
+### `console_error_panic_hook`
+
+* @fitzgen [added error
+  stacks](https://github.com/rustwasm/console_error_panic_hook/pull/10) to the
+  message we log when a panic occurs. This works around bugs in both Safari's
+  and Firefox's developer tools consoles.
+
+### `js-sys`
+
+* @Pauan [added convenience getters to
+  `js_sys::Reflect`](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1225) for
+  getting properties keyed by `u32` and `f64`.
+
+### Twiggy🌱
+
+* @data-pup [fixed some unused-result
+  warnings](https://github.com/rustwasm/twiggy/pull/243) in Twiggy's parser.
+
+### `walrus`
+
+* @alexcrichton made [GC'ing unused functions, globals, etc an explicit
+  pass](https://github.com/rustwasm/walrus/pull/60) in `walrus`. It was
+  previously performed implicitly as part of serializing a wasm module.
+* @alexcrichton [implemented support for the reference types
+  proposal](https://github.com/rustwasm/walrus/pull/50) and `anyref` in
+  `walrus`.
+* @fitzgen [added the ability to explicitly
+  delete](https://github.com/rustwasm/walrus/pull/58) various wasm constructs
+  (functions, tables, etc) from a wasm module, rather than just implicitly
+  delete them by making them unused and then running a GC.
+
+### `wasm-bindgen`
+
+* @alexcrichton added support for [`Option<MyRustStruct>` in parameters and
+  return positions](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1275).
+* @alexcrichton [added experimental support for using
+  `anyref`](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1002) in
+  `wasm-bindgen`.
+* @fitzgen [fixed a
+  regression](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1255) where DWARF
+  debug info custom sections were always being included in the generated Wasm,
+  even when debug info was not enabled.
+* @alexcrichton [added a
+  flag](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1256) to control whether
+  the producers custom section is included in the generated wasm binary or not.
+* @ctjhoa [fixed some deprecation
+  warnings](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1259) around the use
+  of `ATOMICS_*_INIT` instead of `Atomic*::new`.
+
+### `wasm-snip`
+
+* @fitzgen ported `wasm-snip` over to [using the `walrus`
+  crate](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-snip/pull/21). This also removes the
+  need to `wasm-gc` again after running `wasm-snip`.
+
+### `web-sys`
+
+* @selaux [added a missing Web IDL
+  attribute](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/1248) to
+  `HTMLMediaElement` so that `web-sys` correctly generates bindings to the
+  `srcObject` property.
+
+### `wee_alloc`
+
+* [**We released `wee_alloc` version 0.4.3!
+  🎉**](https://github.com/rustwasm/wee_alloc/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#043)
+  Among other things, this version will work on stable Rust as soon as 1.33 is
+  released, which is scheduled for one week from today: 2019-02-28.
