A decade of Rustls
Joe Birr-Pixton has written a blog post reflecting on a decade of the Rustls TLS-library project and looking ahead to the upcoming 0.24 release and an eventual 1.0 release. Rustls began with a first commit on May 2, 2016. Progress was quick: a month later, on June 5, it could interoperate with most sites on the web. The first release, 0.1.0, followed on August 27, 2016 – less than four months after the first commit. [...] From the 0.1.0 release, the project moved through a long series of releases over the following eight years, building out functionality, hardening and refining the API. That sequence of release lines culminated in 0.23, released on February 29, 2024. The 0.23 release line has been a stable one: in the time since, it has seen 43 non-breaking releases. That stability didn't come with stagnation. The 0.23 line delivered a wide range of important features, including a FIPS-certified cryptography option, certificate compression, Encrypted ClientHello, post-quantum cryptogra

LibreOffice Base survey results
Heiko Tietze has published a blog post summarizing the results of a recent survey about the use of LibreOffice's database application, Base. 455 people participated in the survey, including more than 330 who use Base on Linux, with use cases ranging from maintaining records of personal media such as CDs or DVDs to use enterprise-resource planning (ERP) and finance. Of course, users had many ideas how to improve the application: The majority asks for improvements to the user interface with less clutter and a more attractive design. The workflow and user experience should become either simplified or more powerful, depending on the expertise and the scenario. For example, an elaborate search function is something that many people expect. [...] Almost the same number of answers requests bug fixes, improvements to stability, and better performance. Issues with queries, forms, and reports were mentioned equally often. In this regard, many replies suggest to remove the Java dependencies.

BleachBit 6.0.4 offers faster scanning, improves Linux cleaners
A new version of BleachBit, an open-source system cleaning tool, is out. BleachBit 6.0.4 brings everything I mentioned in my spot on the BleachBit 6.0.4 beta release, including macOS support for the first time – albeit in an early state, and including a Cleaner for Safari and a choice of the (neat) BleachBit CLI or an early GUI. Windows and Linux users all benefit from faster startup times and scanning speeds, and gain new cleaners for Android Studio, Gradle’s cache, fish and Zsh shells and Python CLI. Top-level log files are cleared by the Claude cleaner, and browser “super cookies” […]
