+If you want to package a Rust package to conda-forge, you can use this recipe template:
+
+```yaml
+context:
+  name: example-package
+  version: "0.1.0"
+
+package:
+  name: ${{ name|lower }}
+  version: ${{ version }}
+
+source:
+  url: https://github.com/example-package/${{ name }}/archive/refs/tags/v${{ version }}.tar.gz

+    content:
+      - cargo auditable install --locked --no-track --bins --root ${{ PREFIX }} --path .
+      - cargo-bundle-licenses --format yaml --output ./THIRDPARTY.yml

+about:
+  homepage: https://github.com/example-package/example-package
+  summary: Summary of the package.
+  description: |
+    Description of the package
+  license: MIT OR Apache-2.0
+  license_file:
+    - LICENSE-APACHE
+    - LICENSE-MIT
+    - THIRDPARTY.yml
+  documentation: https://docs.rs/example-package
+  repository: https://github.com/example-package/example-package
+
+extra:

+
+This recipe template supports different features:
+
+- `CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_STRIP=symbols` in order to reduce the size of the package by removing unnecessary symbols.
+- `CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO=fat` in order to optimize the binary for better performance.
+- `cargo auditable install` in order to ensure the package is auditable.
+- Bundle licenses of statically linked libraries.
+- Use `--no-track` to not create `$PREFIX/.crates.toml` and `$PREFIX/.crates2.json`.

+# Moving to Visual Studio 2022 as default windows compiler
+
+Microsoft's Visual Studio (VS) 2019 compiler has reached its
+[end of life](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/visual-studio-2019)
+over a year ago. In the meantime, several projects have moved on and
+fail to compile with VS2019.
+
+We are planning to update our default compilers on windows to the (fully compatible)
+successor VS2022 in one week from now.
+
+This will not affect you as a general user of conda-forge packages on windows;
+the only potential impact is that if you are compiling locally with VS2019 against
+artefacts produced by conda-forge, you might be required to upgrade.
+
+For more details see https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/2138.
