I’m very happy to announce that we just released a new version of the Rust-Bindings 🦀 for FoundationDB 🎉

After more than a year since the last version, we brings new features, cleanups and bug-fixes. This release is also celebrating the new Github org that has been set-up to ensure the sustainability of the project 🤝

## Features ⚡

- Add and defaults to foundationdb 6.3.x API version.
- Adding support for the [Directory](https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/developer-guide.html#directories)

## Other improvements 🎯

- Migrated from Clikengo’s repo to a dedicated org (more info can be found [here](https://github.com/foundationdb-rs/foundationdb-rs/issues/1))
- Bump dependencies
- Bump MSRV(Minimum supported rust version) to Rust 2021 (1.56.0)
- Introduce Platform tier
- Improved CI and correctness tests

## A notes about correctness ✅

The [BindingTester](https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/main/bindings/bindingtester/spec/bindingApiTester.md) has been integrated in:

- pull-requests
- scheduled correctness tests on Github Actions.

Every hour, we are testing ~1k seeds using Github Actions’s infrastructure.

At the time of writing, 2,797 scheduled tests have been run to prepare this release, which represents more than **2 millions seeds tested**.

## What is next 🚀

My current company is investing in FoundationDB and we will develop different layers in Rust.

As such, we are currently planning to move the crate towards a `1.0.0` version, which will represent a state where advanced layers written in Rust can be built on top of FoundationDB.

To do so, we are planning to add [features to the bindings](https://github.com/foundationdb-rs/foundationdb-rs/milestone/2), but also contribute back some librairies/crates/talks/tooling/[md-book](https://pierrez.github.io/fdb-book/) 😄
