Rewrite for UEFI support (published as v0.10.0).This month, we finally merged the UEFI rewrite branch: The bootloader crate implements a custom Rust-based bootloader for easy loading of 64-bit ELF executables. For people that want to use the latest nightly already, we pre-published the above fix as version v0.14.1-beta. For this reason, we decided to wait with merging the fix until the rustfmt component is fixed.
#RUST UPDATE APRIL 2021 UPDATE#
Since rustfmt is currently broken on the affected newer nightlies, many users are still on older nightlies where the const_fn_trait_bound feature does not exist yet ( rustup update skips nightlies where an installed component is missing). Use new const_fn_trait_bound feature to fix build on latest nightly ( #250).We also prepared a pull request to fix the build on the latest Rust nightlies: Fix Debug and PartialEq implementations for IDT entry type.Breaking: Fixes for x86-interrupt calling convention (published as v0.14.0).Added XCR0 register (published as v0.13.5).In April, we merged the following changes: The x86_64 crate provides various abstractions for x86_64 systems, including wrappers for CPU instructions, access to processor-specific registers, and abstraction types for architecture-specific structures such as page tables and descriptor tables.
