Compression algorithms are used in a vast number of protocols and file formats throughout all of computing. Implemented in C, these libraries encounter regular security issues despite receiving extensive industry-wide scrutiny.| trifectatech.org
In part 1 of the "SIMD in zlib-rs" series, we've seen that, with a bit of nudging, autovectorization can produce optimal code for some problems.| trifectatech.org
Over the past couple of months we've been hard at work on libbzip2-rs, a 100% Rust drop-in compatible implementation the bzip2 compression and decompression functionality.| trifectatech.org
Today we published bzip2 version 0.6.0, which uses our rust implementation of the bzip2 algorithm, libbz2-rs-sys, by default. The bzip2 crate is now faster and easier to cross-compile.| trifectatech.org

May 6, 2025 – Ubuntu 25.10 is set to adopt sudo-rs by default. Sudo-rs is a memory-safe reimplementation of the widely-used sudo utility, written in the Rust programming language.| trifectatech.org
ntpd-rs now supports version 5 of the Network Time Protocol| trifectatech.org
We've released version 0.4.2 of zlib-rs, featuring a number of substantial performance improvements. We are now (to our knowledge) the fastest api-compatible zlib implementation for decompression, and beat the competition in the most important compression cases too.| trifectatech.org
