The ecosystem has been upgraded (with help from Eco, as usual). What this means to end-users and maintainers, is that the Piston ecosystem will be more stable from now on, with fewer version bumps. Piston has been designed from the ground up to enable stability and modularity. Looking back, I am happy that the architecture has been delivering this promise very well: To an end-user, using Piston should be like writing idiomatic Rust code (trait for W ..read more

Now that the main issues and concerns have been resolved for the image library, I expect that much less time is required to move other libraries. There are several reasons these libraries are moving: B ..read more
