I was quite busy with my master thesis this month, so I didn't have the time to create new content or major new features. However, there were quite a few minor updates. + +## x86_64 + +- [Use cast crate instead of usize_conversions crate](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/70) (released as version 0.5.5). +- [Make FrameAllocator an unsafe trait](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/71) (released as version 0.6.0). +- [Change Port::read and PortReadOnly::read to take &mut self](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/76) (released as version 0.7.0). +- [@npmccallum](https://github.com/npmccallum) started working on [moving the type declarations to a separate crate](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/issues/72) to make them usable for more projects. We created the experimental [x86_64_types](http://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64_types/) crate for this. + +## Cargo-Xbuild + +- [Make backtraces optional](https://github.com/rust-osdev/cargo-xbuild/commit/bd73f5a1b975f1938abd5b4c17a048d2018741b7) to remove the transitive dependency on the `cc` crate, which has additional [compile-time requirements](https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs#compile-time-requirements) (e.g. a working `gcc` installation). These requirements caused [problems for some people](https://github.com/phil-opp/blog_os/issues/612), so we decided to disable backtraces by default. Released as version 0.5.9. +- [Error when the sysroot path contains spaces](https://github.com/rust-osdev/cargo-xbuild/pull/32): This pull request adds a special error message that points to [rust-lang/cargo#6139](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6139) when a sysroot path contains spaces. This should avoid the regular confusion, e.g. [here](https://github.com/phil-opp/blog_os/issues/464#issuecomment-427793367), [here](https://github.com/phil-opp/blog_os/issues/403#issuecomment-483046786), or [here](https://github.com/phil-opp/blog_os/issues/403#issuecomment-487313363). +- [Add a `XBUILD_SYSROOT_PATH` environment variable to override sysroot path](https://github.com/rust-osdev/cargo-xbuild/pull/33): This feature is useful when the default sysroot path contains a space. Released as version 0.5.10. +- [Fix the new `XBUILD_SYSROOT_PATH` environment variable](https://github.com/rust-osdev/cargo-xbuild/pull/34). Released as version 0.5.11. +- [Update Azure Pipelines CI script](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootimage/pull/40) + - Build all branches instead of just `master` and the [bors](https://bors.tech/) `staging` branch. + - Rustup is now included in the official Windows image of Azure Pipelines, so we don't need to install it again. + +## Bootloader + +- [@rybot666](https://github.com/rybot666) started working on [porting the 16-bit assembly of the bootloader to Rust](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/issues/24). + +## Bootimage + +- [@toothbrush7777777](https://github.com/toothbrush7777777) landed a pull request to [pad the boot image to a hard disk block size](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootimage/pull/39). This is required for booting the image in VirtualBox. Released as version 0.7.4. +- [Set `XBUILD_SYSROOT_PATH` when building bootloader](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootimage/pull/41).
