TenfloweRS is a pure-Rust alternative to TensorFlow, and this is its first stable release. It ships dual eager + graph execution, reverse-mode autodiff, 150+ research domains, and WGPU GPU acceleration — built on the SciRS2 and NumRS2 ecosystem, with no C++, CUDA-C, or Python runtime.
ToRSh is a PyTorch-compatible deep-learning framework in pure Rust with native tensor sharding. The 0.1.1 release hardens the 33-crate workspace onto consistent, published crates.io dependencies and adds the new torsh-convert model-converter CLI.

Full extension of SciRS2-Core — no external deps allowed. The sovereign optimizer layer for SciRS2 and the entire COOLJAPAN ecosystem (now 21M SLoC total).
OxiArc 0.2.5 adds two brand-new compression crates — Brotli (RFC 7932, quality 0-11) and Snappy (block + framed with CRC32C) — bringing the workspace to 12 crates and 12 container formats. Plus DEFLATE/GZip/Zlib streaming with flush modes, LZW streaming, and an EntryBuilder fluent API. 1,038 tests, all passing. Pure Rust archive and compression — no C, no zlib, no libarchive.
SciRS2 0.3.4 is the pure-Rust SciPy/NumPy/scikit-learn replacement: 2.59M SLoC, 19,700+ tests, 29 workspace crates. This release upgrades OxiARC to 0.2.5 and purges the last C-library (GMP/MPFR) and the zip crate from the dependency tree for a leaner, smaller-attack-surface, 100% Pure Rust supply chain.
OxiGDAL 0.1.2 adds a PMTiles v3 writer with Hilbert tile IDs and content dedup, a full geometry validation/operations module (centroid, area, point-in-polygon, simplify, convex hull), and a unified umbrella crate with 12-format conversion planning. Now 76 Pure Rust workspace crates, 15 format drivers, 10,935 passing tests — zero C dependencies in default features.
Production-grade pure Rust geospatial data abstraction library. 11 format drivers (GeoTIFF/COG, GeoParquet, Zarr, NetCDF, etc.), 211+ EPSG definitions, cloud-native async I/O (S3/GCS/Azure), GPU acceleration (wgpu), WASM + Python bindings. ~480k SLoC, 69 crates, 7,486 passing tests. 10× faster than GeoPandas, <50 MB Docker, no C deps. The sovereign geospatial layer for SciRS2 and the entire COOLJAPAN ecosystem.

SciRS2 is a pure-Rust SciPy/NumPy/scikit-learn replacement — 2.59M SLoC, 19,700+ tests, 29 crates, no C or Fortran. The 0.3.2 patch upgrades the Python bindings to pyo3 0.28.2 (Python::attach) for free-threaded CPython 3.13, plus benchmark modernization with std::hint::black_box.
2.59 million lines of pure Rust. SciPy-compatible APIs, 10-100× faster with SIMD, no C/Fortran deps, 29 crates, 19,700+ tests, Python + WASM + no_std. The sovereign scientific computing and AI foundation for the entire COOLJAPAN ecosystem.
10 archive formats and 8 compression algorithms implemented from scratch in pure Rust. DEFLATE up to 400 MB/s, SIMD-accelerated CRC (3–4.5× faster), full async support, LZH (Japanese legacy) support, ZIP/TAR/GZIP/Zstd/LZ4/XZ and more. The sovereign data packaging layer for SciRS2 and the entire COOLJAPAN ecosystem.
Production-grade BLAS and LAPACK entirely in Rust. Up to 172% of OpenBLAS performance on Apple M3, full sparse solvers, f128 precision, RuntimeAutoTuner, no_std support. The sovereign mathematical foundation for SciRS2 and the entire COOLJAPAN scientific computing stack.
OxiCode's first 0.2 minor: a major API expansion with a BorrowDecode derive for zero-copy decoding, the SizeWriter / encoded_size pre-allocation API, encode_to_file / decode_from_file, lazy DecodeIter streaming, CRC32 checksums, versioned-value helpers, and a rich set of derive attributes — all while keeping 100% bincode 2.0 binary compatibility. 19,929 passing tests, zero warnings.
100% binary-compatible drop-in replacement for bincode with zero-copy decoding, SIMD-accelerated arrays (2–4× faster), built-in LZ4/Zstd compression (powered by OxiARC), CRC32 checksums, async streaming, schema evolution, and no_std support. 513k LOC of pure Rust, 19,927 passing tests. The sovereign serialization layer for SciRS2 and the entire COOLJAPAN ecosystem.
OxiRS 0.2.2 is a hardening release: a production unwrap() audit confirming zero panic paths outside tests, a workspace-policy migration across all 27 crates, an oversized module split via splitrs, two security advisories reviewed, and dependency refreshes — 40,786 tests passing.
rs3gw is a Pure Rust S3-compatible object-storage gateway. 0.2.0 brings streaming PUT with backpressure and incremental hashing, graceful shutdown with multipart GC, SigV4 rate limiting, gRPC range GET / parallel delete, and the new rs3ctl admin CLI.
Privacy-first 3D human mesh synthesis in pure Rust. Runs entirely client-side (WASM + WebGPU or native). Parametric morphing, FACS expressions, biomechanics physics, 10+ export formats (glTF, VRM, USD, 3MF). 943,000+ LOC, 32,644 passing tests. No server ever sees your body data. The sovereign human modeling layer for SciRS2 and the entire COOLJAPAN ecosystem.

Validated against Saitoh Group experiments. The sovereign spintronics layer for SciRS2.
OxiArc 0.2.3 brings non-blocking I/O to the compression layer: async ZIP, async DEFLATE, and a new GZip module for Tokio/async-std pipelines, alongside a dedicated GIF LZW codec with LSB bitstream support. Plus across-the-board codec refinements. Pure Rust archive and compression — no C, no zlib, no libarchive.
Pure Rust sovereignty just leveled up again. Privacy-first human bodies, full GDAL replacement, and production Semantic Web + AI reasoning — all dropped today.
OxiArc 0.2.2 ships a complete Zstandard encoder built from scratch — FSE, canonical Huffman, and an LZ77 match finder with 22 levels — so the workspace now writes real .zst, not just reads it. Plus an n-gram Zstd dictionary trainer, LZ4 dictionary frames, and richer ZIP64 with AES-256 and ZipCrypto. Pure Rust archive and compression, no C, no zlib, no libzstd.
Production-grade AC/DC power flow, transient & small-signal stability, battery modelling, renewable integration, optimal power flow, harmonic analysis, and protection systems — all in pure Rust. No C, no Fortran.

This release adds a drop-in FFmpeg CLI compatibility layer (oximedia-ff), an OpenCV cv2 Python API, a complete MP4 demuxer and end-to-end transcode pipeline, a plugin system, and FFV1/JPEG-XL/DNG/Y4M support — 97 crates and ~1.49M SLoC of pure Rust.
A major milestone for the pure Rust DataFrame library — PandRS 0.2.0 delivers all planned v1.0.0 features. Google Zanzibar-style ReBAC authorization, 6,984 unwrap() calls eliminated, a zero-vulnerability default build, optional SQL backends, new SciRS2 0.3.1 stats/linalg integration, 300+ pages of docs, and 24-month LTS. 3-9x faster than pandas with up to 89% less memory.
