Latest news

Things are moving on: we talked about hosting crates’ documentation directly on an official doc website (the hostname hasn’t been decided yet). It has already been discussed a few times in the past but nothing came out. For now, we’re mostly trying to sort through all of the complexity. A lot of details must be taken in account and it is still at a very early stage of discussion but it started!

The pull request on the new rustc output is finally here (or almost)!

@jonathandturner and @peschkaj are working on a style guide in order to help developers to write better library documentations.
