Niri 25.08 released
Version 25.08 of the niri scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor has been released. Notable changes include xwayland-satellite integration, modal exit confirmation, and the introduction of basic support for screen readers:
A series of posts by fireborn earlier this year on the screen reader situation in Linux got me curious: how does one support screen readers in a Wayland compositor? The documentation is unfortunately scarce and difficult to find. Thankfully, @DataTriny from the AccessKit project came across my issue, pointed me at the right protocols, and answered a lot of my questions.
So, as of this release, niri has basic support for screen readers! We implement the org.freedesktop.a11y.KeyboardMonitor D-Bus interface for Orca to listen and grab keyboard keys, and we expose the main niri UI elements via AccessKit. [...]
The current screen reader support and further considerations are documented on the new Accessibility wiki page.
LWN covered niri in July.
Linux From Scratch 12.4 released
Version 12.4 of Linux From Scratch (LFS) and Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) have been released. LFS provides step-by-step instructions on building a customized Linux system entirely from source, and BLFS helps to extend an LFS installation into a more usable system. Notable changes in this release include updates to GNU Binutils 2.45, GCC 15.2, GNU C Library (glibc) 2.42, and Linux 6.15.1. See the Changelog for all updates since 12.3.
[$] Tracking trust with Rust in the kernel
The Linux kernel has to handle many different sources of data that should not be trusted: user space, network connections, and removable storage, to name a few. The kernel has to remain secure even if one of these sends garbled (or malicious) data. Benno Lossin has been working on an API for kernel Rust code that makes it harder to accidentally make decisions based on data from user space. That work is now on its fourth revision, and Lossin has asked kernel developers to experiment with it and see where problems remain, making this a good time to look at the proposed API.
Announcing the Rust Innovation Lab
During the opening of RustConf 2025 in Seattle, Washington, the Rust Foundation announced a new initiative to provide financial and administrative support to open-source Rust projects. The first project to benefit from the new Rust Innovation Lab is Rustls, an implementation of TLS in Rust. The foundation welcomes inquiries from other projects. Dr. Rebecca Rumbul, Executive Director of the Rust Foundation said:
Rustls is hopefully the first of many really good [...] projects that will find a home in the foundation.Dumbing Down the SAT Bodes Poorly for Education
