Version1.6 of the Rust programming language has been released. "The largest new feature in 1.6 is that libcore is now stable! Rust's standard library is two-tiered: there's a small core library, libcore, and the full standard library, libstd, that builds on top of it. libcore is completely platform agnostic, and requires only a handful of external symbols to be defined. Rust's libstd builds on top of libcore, adding support for memory allocation, I/O, and concurrency. Applications using Rust in the embedded space, as well as those writing operating systems, often eschew libstd, using only libcore.libcore being stabilized is a major step towards being able to write the lowest levels of software using stable Rust."
