 This crate essentially brings [`#include <linux/fuse.h>`](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/linux/fuse.h?h=v6.9) to Rust.
 The code is autogenerated using [`bindgen`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen), ensuring the correctness of definitions.

+### [`acpi`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/acpi)
+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@IsaacWoods](https://github.com/IsaacWoods)</span>
+
+The `acpi` repository contains crates for parsing the ACPI tables – data structures that the firmware of modern computers use to relay information about the hardware to the OS. We merged the following changes this month:
+
+- [acpi: add support for SPCR table](https://github.com/rust-osdev/acpi/pull/216)
+
+Thanks to [@00xc](https://github.com/00xc) for their contributions!

+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@phil-opp](https://github.com/phil-opp)</span>
+
+The `uart_16550` crate provides basic support for serial port I/O for 16550-compatible UARTs. We merged the following change this month:
+
+- [build(deps): update bitflags dependency to version 2](https://github.com/rust-osdev/uart_16550/pull/33)
+- [feat: add `try_send_raw` and `try_receive`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/uart_16550/pull/34)
+
+Thanks to [@mkroening](https://github.com/mkroening) for their contributions!

+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@mkroening](https://github.com/mkroening)</span>
+
+The `endian-num` crate provides the `Be` (big-endian) and `Le` (little-endian) byte-order-aware numeric types.
+
+- [test: fix doctests for 32-bit and 16-bit pointer widths](https://github.com/rust-osdev/endian-num/pull/4)
+- [chore: remove appendix from LICENSE-APACHE](https://github.com/rust-osdev/endian-num/pull/5)
+
+
+### [`bootloader`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader)
+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@phil-opp](https://github.com/phil-opp) and [@Freax13](https://github.com/orgs/rust-osdev/people/Freax13)</span>
+
+The `bootloader` crate implements a custom Rust-based bootloader for easy loading of 64-bit ELF executables. This month, we merged the following improvements:
+
+- [always cover at least the first 4 GiB of physical memory](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/pull/448)
+
+
+### [`x86_64`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64)
+<span class="maintainers">Maintained by [@phil-opp](https://github.com/phil-opp), [@josephlr](https://github.com/orgs/rust-osdev/people/josephlr), and [@Freax13](https://github.com/orgs/rust-osdev/people/Freax13)</span>
+
+The `x86_64` crate provides various abstractions for `x86_64` systems, including wrappers for CPU instructions, access to processor-specific registers, and abstraction types for architecture-specific structures such as page tables and descriptor tables.
+
+We merged the following PR this month:
+
+- [Ensure that Page actually implements Hash](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/490)
+- [don't use label starting with `1`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/492)
+- [Add size and len for PageRange, PhysFrameRange, PageRangeInclusive and PhysFrameRangeInclusive](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/491)
+- [fix testing](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/pull/495)
