With the Rust team's announcement of the 1.68.0 version of Rust, Cloudsmith is happy to announce our support for the new "sparse" registry protocol, which has been stabilized as part of version 1.68.0. Cargo is the package manager for Rust, a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software. Cloudsmith customers who migrate to the new beta "sparse" registry implementation will dramatically improve the speed and reliability of their builds.

Releasing production-ready software is a complicated tangle of tools and processes lacking visibility, traceability, and consistency. This leads to custom integrations and human intervention, which create opportunities for mistakes, impede automation, and increase the likelihood of insecure software being released. JFrog’s release lifecycle management capabilities enable “release first” software supply chain (SSC) management, delivering trusted software faster.

Scaling up your development organization typically involves spreading development across multiple locations around the globe. One of the key challenges with multisite development is ensuring reliable access to required software packages and artifacts for teams collaborating across time zones. The JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform solves this challenge with federated repositories in JFrog Artifactory.

Version control systems are valuable tools for tracking and managing changes to software projects. They record every modification to software code and store the complete project history in a database, enabling developers to collaborate, experiment with new features, and roll back changes when necessary. Git is the most widely used version control system today.

Release notes provide essential documentation when a new software version is released. For release notes to be most effective, dev teams must consolidate all of the work that has been done since the previous release. It is a hectic task that requires a lot of effort and time sorting through weeks or even months of software issues and pull requests. Why not make the life of the release team easier by automating the creation of release notes?
