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.

Transitioning From PyTorch to Burn
With the help of the image crate, loading an image from disk is fairly straightforward.

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.

png crate gets an ultrafast compression mode, up to 4x faster decompression
png is the de-facto standard Rust crate for reading and writing PNG images, used e.g. by the image crate.

What's everyone working on this week (12/2023)?
There's also a CLI to convert between formats. It uses the crate image.

The `exr` crate got up to 3x faster, even better performance coming soon
exr is a is a 100% Rust and 100% safe code library for reading and writing OpenEXR images. It is used by the popular image crate to read and write OpenEXR.

Announcing zune-jpeg: Rust's fastest JPEG decoder
We're currently looking for contributors to add support for zune-jpeg to the image crate. The image maintainers are open to it, but don't have the capacity to do it themselves. You can find more details here.

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.

Linux version of Warp terminal is here
Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.
I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp: https://warp.dev/
Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).
Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.

Can't get winit sample to compile

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (28/2023)!
Have you seen the official example?

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (20/2023)!
That's a bit shortsighted given that there is an active discussion about reducing the interior mutability.

File dialog with ImGui?
I really need a file dialog for my ImGui-based project in Rust. I tried using this crate but it's wayyyyyyy too old. I also saw this but considering the date it was last updated and the look of the repo, it's not gonna work either. Also I maintain my own library for such things, but it's currently blocked by this issue. What options do I have?

Announcing async-winit, a new way to use winit as an async runtime
In this case, I used the "A"GPL because this crate could feasibly run on the web. winit has a web backend. At the moment I don't support it (there's a PR that needs to land first), but in the near future it's not implausible that this crate could be used in a web environment.

XUL Layout has been removed from Firefox
There are a number of up-and-coming Rust-based frameworks in this niche:
- https://github.com/iced-rs/iced (probably the most usable today)
- https://github.com/vizia/vizia
- https://github.com/marc2332/freya
- https://github.com/linebender/xilem (currently very incomplete but exciting because it's from a team with a strong track record)
What is also exciting to me is that the Rust GUI ecosystem is in many cases building itself up with modular libraries. So while we have umpteen competing frameworks they are to a large degree all building and collaborating on the same foundations. For example, we have:
- https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit (cross-platform window creation)
- https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu (abstraction on top of vulkan/metal/dx12)
- https://github.com/linebender/vello (a canvas like imperative drawing API on top of wgpu)
- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (UI layout algorithms)
- https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text rendering and editing)
- https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit (cross-platform accessibility APIs)
In many cases there a see https://blessed.rs/crates#section-graphics-subsection-gui for a more complete list of frameworks and foundational libraries)
