Love the recent #rustlang split between serde and serde_core, so that crates like camino and iddqd can depend on serde_core and have their builds be parallelized with serde_derive. This is a long-standing issue

Released camino 1.2.0 and iddqd 0.3.13 with deps on serde_core!

If you use release-plz and trusted publishing, you don't need to use the crates-io-auth-action anymore, as that logic is implemented into release-plz itself now 👍
Advantage: your CI will request a token only when a release is needed 🥳

Workflow of release-plz that deleted the crates-io-auth-action. You don't need to pass the cargo_registry_token anymore, too. For more info, see the release-plz docs!

FYI, I got an obvious phishing attempt in my inbox from `[email protected]` that was masquerading as a security breach notification. It made it past gmail's spam filters.

The link goes to the `github.rustfoundation.dev` domain.

One of the most positive feedback I received about @release-plz.dev: "Yes you can work without it, but you would be very stupid to even try."

screenshot of https://github.com/release-plz/release-plz/discussions/1028#discussioncomment-14261119
Content: "Just want to give a big thank you! I realized that my CI runs on release-plz for well over two years and never failed once. In fact, it's so reliable that every single release was a non-event. This project is a bit like git. Yes you can work without it, but you would be very stupid to even try... Keep up the good work and recognize, your work keeps countless projects running.💪"

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.
