+### [`volatile`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/volatile)
+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@phil-opp](https://github.com/phil-opp)</span>
+
+The `volatile` crate provides a safe wrapper type for implementing volatile read and write operations. This is useful for accessing memory regions that have side-effects, such as memory-mapped hardware registers.
+
+We merged the following PRs this month:
+
+- [Add `VolatileRef::restrict` and `VolatilePtr::restrict`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/volatile/pull/47)
