Thanks to @imperio and @weihanglo, `cargo doc` now has unstable support for dep-info files, improving detection for when dependencies need to be rebuilt. This may take a few days to hit the nightly channel.

In case you missed it over the weekend, I wrote a piece about the impact Nvidia's commitment to Steam Deck might have on the Linux ecosystem. But this article is special, because it also has great insights from @gamingonlinux, @gardiner_bryant and @gloriouseggroll!

NVIDIA release new GPU driver updates for Linux and Windows after announcing security issues https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/nvidia-release-new-gpu-driver-updates-for-linux-and-windows-after-announcing-security-issues/

I'm digging this new @flathub section promoting mobile apps!

Where is this train going? To Distroland? 🤔

I can't wait to see how people use default field values in #Rust!
It felt like an eternity to land this (specially if we count the years of discussion before the, I believe, 3rd RFC was accepted), but as of next nightly you will be able to write

struct Foo {
bar: Type = Type::const_method(),
}

Foo { .. } // implicit `bar: Type::const_method()` call

The main difference between https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129514 and derive(Default) is that the latter doesn't support having mandatory fields.
