+
+The `bootloader` crate implements a custom Rust-based bootloader for easy loading of 64-bit ELF executables. This month, we merged the following improvements:
+
+- [Fix doc comment and error message only referencing the BIOS but used for UEFI](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/pull/439)
+- [Ensure all page table frames are mapped as writable](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/pull/444)

+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@phil-opp](https://github.com/phil-opp) and [@jamesmunns](https://github.com/jamesmunns)</span>
+
+The `linked-list-allocator` crate provides a basic `no_std` allocator that builds a linked list from freed memory blocks and thus needs no additional data structures. We merged the following PR this month:
+
+- [Fix warnings about `cfg(fuzzing)`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/linked-list-allocator/pull/82)
