Description:
Joe Birr-Pixton has written a blog post reflecting on a decade of the Rustls TLS-library project and looking ahead to
the upcoming0.24 release and an eventual1.0 release. Rustls began with a
first commit on May2,2016. Progress was quick: a month later, on June5,
it could interoperate with most sites on the web. The first release,0.1.0, followed on August27,2016 less than four months after the first commit.
[...] From the0.1.0 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 in0.23, released on February29,2024. The0.23 release line has been a stable one: in the time since, it has
seen43 non-breaking releases. That stability didn't come with
stagnation. The0.23 line delivered a wide range of important features, including a FIPS-certified cryptography option, certificate compression, Encrypted ClientHello, post-quantum cryptography, and performance
improvements.
