docs.rs patches rustls security bug, cuts its own test and 404 costs
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Rust · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
docs.rs carried the day: a security-driven rustls bump plus three infrastructure changes that make its test suite faster and stop bot traffic from hammering the origin, while rust's box internals lost two long-deprecated escape hatches.
update rustls to v0.23.45 due to security issue rust-lang/docs.rs
docs.rs moved to rustls v0.23.45 to pick up a security fix. Anything else in the stack pinning rustls should follow to the same release.
Faster test database with DDL replay rust-lang/docs.rs
Test setup was spending much of its time creating and tearing down a database schema per case, running every migration forward and then in reverse. The new design builds a Postgres template database from the migrations once and clones it per test; it lands alongside the 404 caching work that keeps known-missing release doc pages and unknown about pages from reaching the origin, which the PR aut...
Rollup merge of #162763 - maxdexh:remove-into-unique, r=RalfJung rust-lang/rust
Box::into_unique is gone, with all in-tree uses removed beforehand. It was a private-ish escape hatch; if you reached for it, move to into_raw_with_allocator, which now has a test.
Rollup merge of #162766 - maxdexh:unleak-considered-harmful, r=hanna-kruppe,saethlin rust-lang/rust
Max Dexheimer removed the dubious Box::leak uses from rustc and std, stopping the practice of unleaking &mut references. The opsem discussion behind it explains why leaking was the wrong shape for these cases.
cache 404 errors inside release docs rust-lang/docs.rs
docs.rs now caches 404 responses inside release docs and for unknown about pages, so repeated misses stop reaching the origin server.
