Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

AWS Libcrypto for Rust
Again, this is just a temporary situation, and a matter of burning down a list of small tasks. Not that the OpenSSL license issue is a big deal for most anyway. Feel free to help; see this issue filed by Josh Triplett: https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/1318#issuecomment-...

A brief guide to choosing TLS crates
Note also that rustls depends on ring, which has architecture-dependent code in it that is not as widely compatible as eg. OpenSSL/GnuTLS/Mbed-TLS. For example, MIPS is not supported by ring.

Releasing Rust Binaries with GitHub Actions - Part 2
The AWS Rust library we were using as a dependency depended on a cryptography library called ring. This library leverages C and assembly code to implement its cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, cross compiling when C is involved can add complexity to the build process. While it might've been possible to overcome these issues I decided that it wasn't worth digging into more.

Urgent Upcoming OpenSSL release patches critical vulnerability
That'd be great. Thanks Brian. Re: making ring portable to all platforms: IBM have been graciously maintaining a up to date patchset for Ring for years now and there's an outstanding PR here you may not have seen since they filed it in 2020... https://github.com/briansmith/ring/pull/1057

OpenSSL Security Advisory [5 July 2022]
Beyond the simple matter of Rust being much newer than OpenSSL, one concern for some cryptographic primitives is the timing side-channel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack
In high level languages like Rust, the compiler does not prioritise trying to emit machine code which executes in constant time for all inputs. OpenSSL has implementations for some primitives which are known to be constant time, which can be important.
One option if you're working with Rust anyway would be use something like Ring:
https://github.com/briansmith/ring
Ring's primitives are just taken from BoringSSL which is Google's fork of OpenSSL, they're a mix of C and assembly language, it's possible (though fraught) to write some constant time algorithms in C if you know which compiler will be used, and of course it's possible (if you read the performance manuals carefully) to write constant time assembly in many cases.
In the C / assembly language code of course you do not have any safety benefits.
It can certainly make sense to do this very tricky primitive stuff in dangerous C or assembly, but then write all the higher level stuff in Rust, and that's the sort of thing Ring is intended for. BoringSSL for example includes code to do X.509 parsing and signature validation in C, but those things aren't sensitive, a timing attack on my X.509 parsing tells you nothing of value, and it's complicated to do correctly so Rust could make sense.

CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in WebP (Chrome)
FTR there is a WebP decoder implementation in safe Rust in the image crate: https://github.com/image-rs/image
It used to be quite incomplete for a long time, but work last year has implemented many webp features. Chromium now has a policy of allowing the use of Rust dependencies, so maybe Chromium could start adopting it?

Porting a local app to Web
Hello! So I have a local app that I am currently running on desktop (windows). I'm using egui for the UI, and the program basically opens a folder, gets all the images in the folder, and then uses the image-rs library to resize and create a grid of images / some other operations.

Does the rust image crate support paletted png?
It would be helpful to contribute to the general change towards an untyped buffer with runtime representations for color space information and fallible conversions. (https://github.com/image-rs/image/pull/1718). It's currently stalling on having too few eyeballs to judge the impact and need for that complexity.

picst - a CLI tool to resize clipboard images on the fly
It uses https://github.com/1Password/arboard and https://github.com/image-rs/image under the hood. I haven't tested deeply but I assume it should handle many formats out of the box.
