Rust·16wcrates.io: development update
crates.io has added several new features over the past six months, including a Security tab displaying RustSec advisories, expanded Trusted Publishing support for GitLab CI/CD with enforcement options, source lines of code metrics on crate pages, and publication timestamps in the index. The team is also migrating the frontend to Svelte with TypeScript. Additional improvements include filtered download statistics to exclude bots, encrypted GitHub tokens, Fastly CDN integration serving 1.6 PB monthly, and various performance optimizations.
Milan Jovanović·14wContainerize Your .NET Applications Without a Dockerfile
.NET SDK (since version 7) includes built-in support for publishing applications directly to container images without writing a Dockerfile. Using a single `dotnet publish` command with the `/t:PublishContainer` flag, developers can build, containerize, and optionally push their applications to registries. The SDK automatically selects appropriate base images, handles multi-stage builds, and allows customization through MSBuild properties like image names, tags, base images, and ports. This approach eliminates Dockerfile maintenance overhead while providing sensible defaults for most web APIs and background services, though complex scenarios requiring system dependencies or custom build steps may still need traditional Dockerfiles.
