According to crates.io, my open-dis-rust crate has been downloaded over 10,000 times all-time! That’s pretty awesome, and I thought I would make a brief post to recognize this milestone. There are some packages on crates.io that have been around for months or even a couple years, and they don’t have nearly that level of consumption. That lets me know that this is a real achievement and that people are actively using and seeking out this crate for DIS development in the Rust programming language. I hope to get feedback in the future from these developers to help improve the crate, but as of now, there are no outstanding issues on the GitHub repository.
I’m proud of the time and effort that went into creating this package, and I hope that someone out there is getting some use out of it. I plan to maintain this package for as long as possible, but that also entirely depends upon feedback, including feature requests and bug reports. If anyone reading this is using or plans on using my crate, please feel free to make issues on the GitHub if you see something that needs to be fixed or if you just have an idea for some feature that you want to see added.
As always, if I release a new version of this crate, I will post the changelog here. Thank you, and here’s to another 10k!
