 * Add :c:func:`CeedVectorAXPY` and :c:func:`CeedVectorPointwiseMult` as a convenience for stand-alone testing and internal use.
 * Add `CEED_QFUNCTION_HELPER` macro to properly annotate QFunction helper functions for code generation backends.
 * Add `CeedPragmaOptimizeOff` macro for code that is sensitive to floating point errors from fast math optimizations.
+* Rust support: split ``libceed-sys`` crate out of ``libceed`` and `publish both on crates.io <https://crates.io/crates/libceed>`_.
 
 Performance improvements
