Pure-Rust legal statute engine: 0.1.5 is a sovereignty and hardening release. The last non-pure-Rust dependency (printpdf) is replaced by the COOLJAPAN fop-render PDF backend, an RSA CVE is eliminated, every unwrap() is removed from production code, and the default build is now 100% Pure Rust across 23 jurisdictions. 14,763 tests passing.
Pure Rust archive and compression with a new in-place editing workflow. OxiArc 0.2.7 adds the `oxiarc add` command for appending files to existing ZIP/TAR/LZH archives, lenient recovery of malformed archives, async LZH/TAR streaming, cooperative cancellation, colored output, and man pages. 12 formats, 10 codecs, 12 crates, ~47k SLoC, 1,041 tests.
Pure-Rust FFmpeg+OpenCV replacement: OxiMedia 0.1.5 adds the oximedia-ml crate — typed ML pipelines (SceneClassifier, ShotBoundaryDetector, and more) on the Pure-Rust OxiONNX runtime, with a Python oximedia.ml submodule and an opt-in, symbol-free-by-default design. Plus a codec-decoder honesty pass. 108 crates, ~2.68M SLoC, 81,383 tests.
OxiMedia is the pure-Rust FFmpeg + OpenCV replacement. Release 0.1.4 wires MJPEG and APV codecs end-to-end, adds OpenDML AVI and animated JPEG-XL containers, low-latency DASH/CMAF streaming, deeper FFmpeg CLI compat (-crf/-vf/two-pass), and fixes the JPEG encoder (round-trip PSNR 6.16 -> 32.53 dB). 108 crates, ~2.67M SLoC, 81,150+ tests passing.
OxiBonsai 0.1.2 adds ONNX ingestion: pull an onnx-community Ternary ONNX release (MatMulNBits, bits=2) and repack it straight to OxiBonsai's GGUF TQ2_0_g128 with a single command — driven by the pure-Rust oxionnx-proto reader, no Python and no onnxruntime. Sub-2-bit sovereign AI inference for the COOLJAPAN ecosystem.
OxiGDAL 0.1.4 lands Weiler-Atherton polygon clipping, Karney geodesic area, DE-9IM topology predicates, and marching-squares contours, plus AVX2/NEON SIMD resampling, a completed COPC point-cloud reader, R-tree STR bulk loading + kNN, and a migration from ort to oxionnx for fully Pure Rust ONNX inference. 76 crates, 12,064 passing tests.
High-performance DataFrame library for Rust — pandas-class API with SIMD, parallel, and distributed processing. 0.3.1 swaps the Excel/xlsx C-dependency chain (zip/flate2/miniz_oxide via calamine + simple_excel_writer) for an in-tree OxiARC-backed xlsx engine, removes the dirs -sys crate, and pins datafusion/parquet/arrow to drop liblzma/zstd-sys/lz4-sys. 1809 tests + 117 doc tests passing, zero clippy warnings. The DataFrame layer of the COOLJAPAN scientific stack.
A same-day patch on the heels of PandRS 0.3.1. Converts the root Cargo.toml into a virtual workspace, hoists ~55 common dependencies into [workspace.dependencies] for consistent versions across the crate and py_bindings, fixes clippy and test hygiene, makes test temp paths portable, and purges 134 stale backup files. No public API changes; 1813 tests pass.
A measurement-focused patch for NumRS2, the pure Rust NumPy alternative. 0.3.3 adds criterion benchmark suites for I/O, complex-number, and sparse-matrix operations, refreshes every dependency to its latest version, clears clippy warnings, and nudges the distributed-optimization module forward. Same numerical core, on SciRS2 0.3.0 and OxiBLAS.
Five days after its 1-bit debut, OxiBonsai grows GPUs: a native CUDA NVRTC backend (~21.9 tok/s on Ternary-Bonsai-1.7B, RTX 3060) and a fused Metal full-forward path (~50 tok/s, ~13x speedup) — plus the new ternary TQ2_0_g128 quant family, with NEON/AVX2/AVX-512 GEMV so it flies on CPU too. Sub-2-bit Pure Rust sovereign AI inference for the COOLJAPAN ecosystem, still with no llama.cpp, no BLAS, no C/Fortran.
A small maintenance release for OxiCUDA, the pure-Rust replacement for the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. Workspace-wide documentation and quality improvements, with all 28 crates aligned to 0.1.4 so the stack ships in lockstep. The only runtime dependency is the NVIDIA driver.
A quality-and-docs maintenance release for the pure-Rust NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit replacement — workspace-wide polish, internal version alignment to 0.1.3, and continued growth to ~260K lines of safe Rust across 28 crates. The only runtime dependency is still the NVIDIA driver.
