 ## Tooling Updates
 
+### [Rusty Playdate]

+_The Playdate console_
+
+[Rusty Playdate] ([GitHub][Rusty Playdate], [Mastodon][Rusty Playdate Masto]) by [@boozook](https://github.com/boozook)
+is the large set of crates with bindings, toolset for the full cycle of creating games for the [Playdate handheld console][playdate].
+
+Big part of the Rusty Playdate project is the `cargo-playdate` tool ([Crates.io][cargo-playdate crates-io], [GitHub][cargo-playdate gh])
+that helps to build games for [Playdate] hardware or a simulator. It works as a cargo-plugin as well as standalone.
+The tool 
+- manages the compilation of your program,
+- builds assets for the crate and its dependencies,
+- generates a manifest,
+- and assembles it all into a bundle that runs on the device or a simulator.
+
+In this month `cargo-playdate` v0.5 has been [released][Rusty Playdate Release] and received massive refactoring, bugfixes and new features:
+- support of [cargo's auto-targets][cargo-target-auto-discovery] _(targets such as `bin` or `example` that aren't declared in the Cargo.toml)_
+- [target-specific package-info][pdb-pdxinfo-override] inheritance from the main package-info
+- `package.metadata.playdate.options` inheritance from the `workspace.metadata`
+- incremental builds now work as expected - fixed an old problem where the tool corrupts cargo's cache, which triggered full rebuild
+
+The register decoder in the [`pd-symbolize-crashlog`][playdate-symbolize-v0.2.0] was also updated. 
+It now properly decodes all available registers such as
+<abbr title="Program Status Register, combines APSR, IPSR and EPSR">PSR</abbr>,
+<abbr title="Configurable Fault Status Register, combines UFSR, BFSR and MMFSR">CFSR</abbr>, and
+<abbr title="HardFault Status Register">HSFR</abbr>.
