Version 9.0 of the QEMU emulator has been released. "This release contains 2700+ commits from 220 authors." The list of improvements is long; see the announcement and the changelog for details.

For several years, contributors to the Rust project have been working to improve support for asynchronous code. The benefits of these efforts are not confined to asynchronous code, however. Members of the Rust community have been working toward adding explicit existential types to Rust since 2017. Existential types are not a common feature of programming languages (something the RFC acknowledges), so the motivation for their inclusion might be somewhat obscure.

The version control system gameoftrees 0.98 has been released and should soon show up in OpenBSD -current packages. An update for the -portable version will follow as well.

The main improvements in the new release are listed in the release notes as

- speed up got tag -l by caching timestamps in got_ref_cmp_tags() - provide a macro for vi(1) path for use by -portable at compile time - avoid a rename/stat race when gotd installs a new pack and then uses it - make 'got ref -l' output consistent when packed references exist - make 'got ref -l' work consistently when a reference argument is given - add initial support for notifications to gotd(8), via email and http/json

The long-running effort to complete the work on stacking (or composing) the Linux security modules (LSMs) recently encountered a barrier—in the form of a "suggestion" to discontinue it from Linus Torvalds. His complaint revolved around the indirect function calls that are used to implement LSMs, but he also did not think much of the effort to switch away from those calls. While it does not appear that a major course-change is in store for LSMs, it is clear that Torvalds is not happy with the direction of that subsystem.

The Rust programming language, it is hoped, will bring a new level of safety to the Linux kernel. At the moment, though, there are still a number of impediments to getting useful Rust code into the kernel. In the Embedded Open Source Summit track of the Open Source Summit North America, Fabien Parent provided an overview of his work aimed at improving the infrastructure needed to write the device drivers needed by embedded systems in Rust; there is still some work to be done.
