 - [@nickray] released `nisty` ([API][nisty-api], [code][nisty-code]), a companion library to `salty` with similar API, but for NIST P-256 signatures on Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M33 microcontrollers. It offers deterministic signatures, idiomatic conversions, and uses [`micro-ecc`][micro-ecc] as backend implementation, which also has `UMAAL` DSP instruction optimizations.
 
+- [probe-rs] has finally released 0.3.0 on crates.io. Its `cargo-flash` extension has improved by a large margin! Flashing speed has increased 10x and it is possible to virtually flash any ARM core thanks to the use of CMSIS-Pack flash algorithms.
+    - You can create your own target description from a CMSIS-Pack with the use of [target-gen]
+    - Built in algorithms support the **nRF51xxx, nRF91xxx, nRF52xxx, STM32F1xx, LPC8xx and LPC55S66 and LPC55S69** series using a **DAPLink** or an **ST-Link**.
+    - Please file a [PR][probe-rs-pr] if you extracted an algorithm for your chip and tested it!
+    - We are looking for contributors. We have lots of non-ARM-specific stuff to do as well, such as improving erroring, useability and documentation including a webpage on the newly acquired [probe.rs] domain.
+    - Join us on [#probe-rs:matrix.org]
+    - 0.4.0 will finally feature GDB support :) Stay tuned!
