The mold high-speed linker project has released version 3.0.0, its first version built entirely in Rust after being ported from C++. Version 2.42.1 remains the final C++ release, and the new version is designed as a drop-in replacement, accepting the same command-line options and producing equivalent output while matching prior linking performance.
The Zig Software Foundation released version 0.17.0 after five months of development involving 206 contributors and 925 commits. The update reworks the build system with a new Build Server Protocol and enhances the ELF linker so incremental compilation is expected to work for all users on x86_64-linux, alongside expanded CI testing for architectures like aarch64-openbsd, aarch64-freebsd, and aarch64-netbsd.
A team building an operating system focused on cryptographic integrity has published tine, a new build system built on Meta's Buck2. The system is designed to be self-contained, support pinning of every software component, integrate package import and update tooling, and enable full rebuilds and reproducible, hermetic builds across multiple upstream Linux distributions.
