Rust 1.1 stable, the Community Subteam, and RustCamp

No stabilized APIs or technical changes; focuses on early community organizational milestones rather than language evolution.

We’re happy to announce the completion of the first release cycle after Rust 1.0: today we are releasing Rust 1.1 stable, as well as 1.2 beta.

Read on for details the releases, as well as some exciting new developments within the Rust community.

Community news

In addition to the above technical work, there’s some exciting news within the Rust community.

In the past few weeks, we’ve formed a new subteam explicitly devoted to supporting the Rust community. The team will have a number of responsibilities, including aggregating resources for meetups and other events, supporting diversity in the community through leadership in outreach, policies, and awareness-raising, and working with our early production users and the core team to help guide prioritization.

In addition, we’ll soon be holding the first official Rust conference: RustCamp, on August 1, 2015, in Berkeley, CA, USA. We’ve received a number of excellent talk submissions, and are expecting a great program.
