February 2025, google/comprehensive-rust: Delivered two key features that enhance safety guidance for developers and stabilize the development toolchain. 1) Unsafe Rust Documentation Revamp: Reorganized the Unsafe Functions section into three slides—"Unsafe Rust Functions", "Unsafe External Functions", and "Calling Unsafe Functions"—and added a non-crashing example to illustrate potential dangers. This reduces misuse risk and accelerates safe usage adoption. Commit: c07ac40f90b84e292b2d11f4393550fa577e7bf0 (Split large unsafe function slide (#2406)). 2) Development Tooling and Dependency Update: Updated dprint plugins to their latest versions, reorganized Cargo.toml module entries, and applied minor syntax tweaks in test files to improve code structure and consistency. Commit: 01345680343c1866ac31a60ed01fe694e4a25f72 (Bump dprint plugins to their latest versions (#2402)).
