📣 Big Topiary news! Topiary's documentation is now assembled in a structured website, the Topiary Book, instead of being a giant README file on Github. We hope you'll find it useful.

📣 A new version of Liquid Haskell is out, featuring the work of several contributors to improve the proof mechanisms, support for CVC5 and more. In his new blog post, Facundo Domínguez takes you on a tour of the highlights!

FawltyDeps v0.19.0 released, with multiple highlights: - We finally have a proper documentation website, at https://lnkd.in/eGkWKbt7! 🎉 Our README was growing very long, and thanks to our own https://lnkd.in/eHGsBmWX , this is now split up and reorganized according to Diátaxis principles. - Next, we now support PEP 735 , aka. the new optional [dependency-groups] section in your pyproject.toml. For now, dependency declarations in this section are treated the same as other dependency declarations, that is, FawltyDeps will expect to find import's in your code that correspond to these dependencies. - Finally, this release introduces support for Python v3.13 and drops support for Python v3.7. We are slowly moving to a policy of only supporting actively maintained Python versions, and this release will be the last to support Python v3.8. If your project is stuck on an older Python version, we suggest installing FawltyDeps stand-alone (and not as a development dependency inside your project's environment). If this somehow does not work for you please raise a new issue (or comment on issue #460), and we'll try to help you out. Alternatively, for projects using Python v3.7, you can of course use an older FawltyDeps version as long as that works for you.

Create React App has just been officially deprecated https://lnkd.in/d2cJYXAC . They say to migrate to a framework like next.js, or a high-performance build tool like Vite or Parcel. As it happens, our own Edian Comachio wrote a blog post just a few months ago on the benefits of Vite—especially in terms of developer experience and performance—with benchmarks and everything https://lnkd.in/eV3uUxxK . Read it and let us know if it helps. #cra #createreactapp #vite

In their new blog post about Bazel and Testwell CTC++ https://lnkd.in/e6bjHATn Johan Herland and Mark Karpov share a good example (or maybe a cautionary tale 😉) of how to take a tool that does not play well with Bazel’s idea of a well-behaved build step, and force it into a shape where we can still leverage Bazel’s strengths. #bazel #testing #coverage #testwellctc

Quick update. For a few hours a post was up from us on some dodgy looking Solana asset. We are still auditing on who or what was compromised on our end. BUT THIS POST WAS NOT FROM US. Please don't engage.
